The Next 60 win team

[sillent]

Just looked at the nba schedule and are we that good? Or is the schedule that easy?

Maybe it's a mix of the 2 but either way it goes I can see us winning 60 games next yr.

If so I wonder would we be considered the quickest turn around in nba history?

I actually mentioned this in my podcast. I need to start posting it. I'll probably start today and post one each day of the week.

I should start a competing podcast. 

Not enough Hawks content out there.  All the Knicks and 6ers content during the Traeoffs made me jealous.

Quiet a difference.  46.5 to 60.  

I read this week that many of the eastern teams will be greatly improved this upcoming season.  Why not?  This happens every off season.  So many eastern teams always improve so much except the Hawks.

Since we were way down below the Knickerbockers at the end of last season and so many have improved so much, therefore Atlanta - - - - - !  And, don't forget, the Hawks now have Johnny Hamilton !!

I expect:  Chicago, Miami, Carolina, and the Knicks to be better....Cleveland & Detroit is a maybe..

Ps 46.5? Really? 
 

[Spud2nique]

Are we starting the Hawks win prediction total thread soon? Now that we have the schedule and the rosters are about 95% set for the most part?

I gotta count the games now.

Huh? Are Kings 35.5 or 29.5? I think over either way. They make a leap this year.

Ooooh, we may have found our avatar bet.

Kangs gonna Kangs 'til they show otherwise.  Coaching is a minus, roster mix is a minus, front office is a minus.  You tellin me they're gonna overcome all that?

And don't give me the Mitchell kid who just on SL mvp averaging like 10 points and guarding mostly a buncha dudes that ain't gonna be rotation players.

Looks like this chart neglected to list the Houston Rockets.  I suspect they are the team projected at 29.5 and the Kings are at 35.5.

Good call. I’ll take Kangs over 35.5 and Rockets under 29.5. Rocket have some young pieces in Wood, little man Tate, Kpj, KMJ and Jalen Green but it might take a couple years. 
 

From where they were 1.5 years ago when they got knocked out of the playoffs with Harden and Russ they rebuilt it quick style.

60+ wins means that John Collins becomes a sure fire All-Star. All of you who didn't want to give Collins the max, do you see that from him this season?

No but it does mean there will be 2nd all star. Who, I am just not sure about? I would go Bogi based on his play from April 1st and on. Capela makes sense as well due to metrics. I don't see it for Hunter or JC unless we change our style again.

I just listened to a podcast that was ranking the Christmas day games.  Said the ATL/NYK game is the least exciting matchup.

... earmuffs ...

I'm not even mad at the podcast.  I'm mad at @NBASupes for delaying the release of his dealy.  See what you made me subject myself to, supes?

[Gray Mule]

Just you wait!  Kings will be better next season!

2nd all star from Atlanta.  My guess:  Cam Reddish!  That boy is going to break out!

And, I'll take the over on the Hawks by at least that .5 point which we will surely get!

 - 4th in the east!

In fairness, a lot of people think the Hawks are vastly superior over the Knicks, based off the playoff series.  Yes, the Knicks crowd will be geared up to be against Trae, but how will the actual team do vs the Hawks?

The Knicks could easily have a losing record going into that game.

Hawks vs Sixers would be the better matchup on paper, but maybe not the most anticipated one from a home fan standpoint.

I hear all this.  But in a world where friggin UTA plays DAL and BOS plays ... anybody, the Hawks game can't be the least exciting.

 Better than their projections above or better than the Hawks?
