Hey guys, even though the season is underway, we didn't get this thought out till now, so we got a sneak peak at what this team is possibly gonna look like for the rest of the season. Make your predictions on what the team's regular season record will be for 2020/21. Those who get the record exactly, will get a new title (to be determined later, suggestions for the title appreciated!!).
If there is an unfortunate work stoppage, we'll use the closest win % for the winner as long as they are within a reasonable percentage.
Sunday the 17th is the deadline to make your predictions, so get yours in now!!!!

I'll start it out.
47-25 a 65.3 win %
I think what we've seen after the first 5 games is very promising and that is without KP. Once KP gets up to snuff and Luka is fully conditioned, this team is gonna hum!

Unicorn being back will take us to the next level and our defense is for real...

I thought going into this year we'd be a 55 win team. My expectations have dropped a little since then, but I still think once we have KP back we'll stabilize.

I think I said 44 before the season. I'll stick with that.

46-26 with no major Luka/KP injuries. When Beal added at the trade deadline, that might change things.

You want to call this a win for me already. I went the most negative at 41-31. They´d need to finish 33-21 just to get there. 50 win pace.

Ok, doing some work on these contests this morning! Looks like the magic # was 42, no one guessed that, so the closest were Mavs2021 (41) and Dirkfansince1998 (43). I didn't state a tie-breaker, but will start to make a tie-breaker the poster who posted first in the future.
In the mean time, contestants (and any others that want to) please chime in about this for this year. Do I give them both the title change prize or use earliest timestamp as a tiebreaker?
