Alas, I'm sure you noticed, it won't ultimately matter that your crystal ball yielded the most accurate Tiago prognostication.... i.e., since we first have to accomplish winning 47 and then...  finish in 3rd place.

But I'm rootin for ya. :)

 

Wait.

Noooooooooo I'm not.

3rd place and a 2nd round exit... versus... 5th place and a EC Finals exit?

Sorry. I misspoke. Give me the EC Finals... and all the better without the benefit of any home court advantage.

Let's DO THIS!

TONIGHT the Taurean out-Kawhi's Kawhi!!!!!!

I think the pace is for 45, but I think it's come together some for the team. Put me down for saying those that picked 47 will win.

I like how you think, @Lurker.

A generous estimate for Tiago there.

So.....

I thought Splitter could give us 17 mpg for 50 games. Now I need him to suddenly play 57 mpg the rest of the way to give me a chance.

I was expecting something like that too.  Ugh.  Splitter goes next to Speedy on the list of worthless Hawk acquisitions.

The season starts and....

 

It's not quite going to happen for the Hawks this season. I think I predicted 50 wins last year... I came pretty close. I'll go with 43-38 this year if the team is reasonably healthy. Maybe a first round exit.

I think I'm going to get pretty close.

[Thomas]

So in the end I think we gave the Spurs a second rounder and Georgios Printezis for Tiago and we eventually ended up with a very nice chemistry improvement for us in Ersan. Took a while to complete all that but I'll take it.

As it stands for now, here's the tally. Let's say the submission window closes at tip-off Thursday night. Don't miss this chance to gain instant credibility with anything you post for the next year based on your exceptional predictive abilities

(... You believe that, right?)

 

The guy that has us at 43? wins is prolly gonna get it right..@ Hotlanta...if we win 2/3. If we win all three remaining games then @Alex takes it.

 

Nobody predicted less than 43....that's good I guess..lol.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Alex is the man.   Won the Hawksquawk NCAA Tournament Challenge, and will get close to predicting our final record.

But props to @Hotlanta1981.  Love him or hate him, he's going to be the closest.

@turnermx won the NCAA I thought.

You're correct.  I don't know where I got Alex winning it from.

[Gray Mule]

Lose last game tonight and Hotlanta has nailed it with 43.

Win tonight and Alex has it with 44 wins.

I'm off just a little with 47.

Still, all in all, a good season.  Now, on to highly favored Washington........

It just makes sense.  I actually nailed the win total prediction last season...along with the one they call @Gray Mule

[benhillboy]

Damn I was 3 wins off.  Bud slacked and Sap was out too long.
