On the topic of the thread, I'm in for a 56 win prediction for the regular season.  Very excited about this team.  Has the potential to be the best Atlanta Hawks team we've ever seen but a lot of ifs that need to be converted to actuals to make that happen.

56 wins 2nd in the east behind Brooklyn

[Dejay]

I'll say 52-30...

I've been hyped before and let down...so as much as I loved what I saw vs Bucks in preseason, I will go 48 wins. We will make noise in the playoffs.

What up brother long time no see. Hope you well! Enrique in the house .

@Jody23 our infamous “on to the next”

Your prediction sir!

Brad Rowland and Robby Kalland are predicting around 46 games maybe slightly over siting concerns over the shooting, chemistry between Trae and Murray as the main concerns. Essential they feel like the offense will be worse with Murray vs with Gallo and Huerter lol!

That's fair take before I seen them in Abu Dhabi

From what I have seen so far.  Where we were steeply reliant of the 3 point shooting of Gallo and Huerter, we'll have more shot attempts from midrange and at the rim with Murray and I'm hoping for JJ's speed and athleticism and ability to play above the rim to replace Gallo.

We had by all accounts a really bad season last year and won 43 games.   If we had brought the same team back I'd say close to 50 but we massively upgraded our starting lineup with a dynamic 2 way guard.  50 should be attainable.

That something should be obvious to some who watches and reports on basketball. If Rowland and that other guy thought that the Hawks would park Murray in a corner as a catch and shoot player, you really have to question the intelligence of those guys

Not after watch both games. But to Rowland it doesn't matter unless they performed poorly.

[bird_dirt]

I’m going to go with 48. 
Hopefully I’ll jinx myself and they’ll go way over.

@sillent the optimist hit us with a win total!

I don't know where/how all these teams think they're going to easily get over 50. Somebody has to lose a few.

With the league being as tough as it is I still see us getting 50 wins though. 50 - 32 should be our bar.

Brad hasn't made his official prediction. They were discussing the over under and about 46 wins is a sweet spot and hard to say over or under.

46 - 36 is a solid season and although we believe the Hawks are much better, the East is better.  It is not out of the realm for the Hawks to go 46 - 36 with a slow start while building chemistry. I believe the Hawks will be a much better playoff team this season regardless of the regular season and both Brad and the other guy said as much.
