Best record possible for hawks if....

This is my 51 win break down:

We won 38 games last year.  The 14 of 15 game losing streak was brutal because of the rash of injuries starting with Pero.  I think we could have won at least half of those games if we weren't so beat up.  Having Al back, Teague's 2nd season running the offense and better team execution of the offense by the team in general, bigger and better defensively on the wings and in the back court and Bud's 2nd season good for another 6 wins.

So: 38+7+6 = 51 wins (minimum)
