I'm going to be optimistic and say we'll sneak into the playoffs. I voted 45-50 wins.

Based on 27 last season, I would say high 30's. Prediction: 38-44.

Of course, if our team gels, then we have a reasonable chance of ending up over .500. Best case scenario is we nab the 8th spot in the playoffs. But that only happens if Kobe is still Kobe and Byron has this team playing together and with solid defense.

48 wins. If wasn't good enough for the playoffs last year, but with less games in tank mode, we might fare better.

That's assuming the team stays relatively healthy (i'm counting out Nash though).

Every year starts out with a 96 win goal! Woo Hoo!

It's just like when I walk into a pub with a $100 bill. The goal is to walk out with that same $100 bill. Never seems to happen though. Fun always get's in the way of my walking out with that same $100 bill. Fun usually goes by the name Amber, Tiffany, Hayley, Corona, Dos XX's, Steinlager, Paulaner, Stella, or the most common one - "Of Course I Remember Your Name".

50-55 wins. This team from top to bottom will be much better than most people think. I wouldn't be suprised if we sneak into the 4-6 spot in the playoffs with a chance of 2nd round.

50 wins but I'm an optimist. I just really like how we have so many one on one and pick n roll scorers this season; I also think we are a very deep team

No. I prefer losing the Christmas day game, and the Superbowl weekend game, so I don't even have to worry about missing anything special if they lose, since I'm never available to watch those.

Bingo with only 2 numbers? Impressive.

I'm loving the 45-60+ votes. Hahaha.

I picked 45-50 for this poll. I really like what our team is molding into and I think they have a chance to make a run at that 8th spot.

I picked 36-41 in the poll I made two weeks ago. http://forums.lakersground.net/viewtopic.php?t=169480
This was the most popular vote at the time. Seems like a lot of you are getting as hyped up as I am about this season!

You are so arrogant; how much did you win betting last year? Since you know the future.

Seriously. I can't believe lakerglory is so down on this team to say 50-55 games.

Only the non-arrogant would pick 55-60.

I'm arrogant because I'm realistic and not a homer?
