Final_quest Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 I have the same number of wins in my head as last year, in the 53-57 win range. DJM brings us up a level, but there will be kinks to work out with chemistry and the end of the rotation. We have a strong core, and if any number of guys can add to that in a significant way we are dangerous. I will give us 57 wins. That's my optimistic number and I will go in to the year with optimism. ************************************************************************************************** Additional thoughts. Long winded talk: Between AJ, JJ, Tyrese, and the Holidays we got a shot to have some juice at the end of the rotation. Even on the main core 7 of our starters plus OO and Bogi there is a lot of room for growth. Bogi can play at 6th man of the year level. Hunter has a negative VORP and people think he can become the 3rd best player. OO can anchor the front court of the second unit with starter level play. But if Capela comes alive close to his 20-21 version, that's the biggest impact to overall win total. Again, similar to last year when the most excitement was Hunter and Cam joining the ECF core. I thought our higher level success was built on Capela and Bogi's allstar level play. This year DJM and Capela will be the key players to get us to 55 wins and above, adding to Trae and Collins. Hunter and Okongwu are nice, but I personally put more stock in Capela and DJM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique in the house . @Jody23 our infamous “on to the next” Your prediction sir! Spud! Yes, I am (and have been) very, very busy with work and family... I scroll over here when I am able, but not nearly the amount of time I used to. Still love the Hawks and challenge the Traeters whenever they raise their heads:) Really hoping we can take a step forward this year... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member MarylandHawk Posted October 16, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 61 and 21. This is a best case scenario. I think this is the best hawks team we have had so I want them to have the best Hawks record. Only problem is the East is a beast this year so…. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it be known that the winner gets the big grin and admiration of all Squawk posters. My guess: 47-35 @Gray Mule might win this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted February 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 LongTimeFan and I have the exact same numbers. Hawks must have a really good remainder of the season to reach this many wins. Expecting a major run to close the season, there is yet hope that we make it!

bird_dirt Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Whew, baby. A lot of optimists on this board. Ending at 41-41, no one guessed under, and no one really got too close. @marco102 and @Peoriabird both mentioned Brad Rowland’s 46 win line, so I assume they were taking that over/under but never explicitly said so. Should we give it to them? If not, default winner winner of the chicken Hawk dinner goes to @Gray Mule and @LongTimeFan with an explicitly stated 47 win prediction. I think @enrique and I were the next closest at 48 wins. Next season we should make it more of a contest to see who picks the closest without going over. Winner gets some sort of honorary title or something on the board. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted June 12, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 This is good evidence for just how big a let-down this season was for pretty much every Hawks fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just amazed at how despite EVERYTHING throughout the history of this franchise, hope still springs eternal for its fan base. Everyone took the over! Honestly, I’m a little disappointed in @Peoriabird and @Plainview1981 for not keeping it and bringing the average down. Y’all are slipping.
