"They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014
"I guess I got a little carried away there" ~ ezzbee Apr. 2015
"We only have one rule on this team. What is that rule? E.L.E. That's right's, E.L.E, and what does E.L.E. stand for? EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY. Right there up on the wall, because this isn't just a basketball team, this is a lifestyle. ~ Jackie Moon

That should work...now we just need to find a volunteer

I'm going with 39 Wins.
Here's my rational:
- Last year we had 23 wins. With a winning percentage of 0.348.
- Apply that to 82 games and you get 29 wins (rounded up).
- Assume Bargnani plays at least 75 games. Add 3 wins to that count. So we are up to 32.
- JV/Ross should add at least +1 win. That brings us up to 33.
- Replace "lottery ball" Butler with Fields.. automatic +3 wins. That brings us to 36.
- No tanking this year (since we don't have a pick essentially). Add +2 wins. That brings us to 38.
- Other teams have improved as well. That's -3 wins. That brings us down to 35.
- Lowry replacing Jose as a starter +1 wins. That brings us to 36.
- Jose replacing Bayless as a backup... add +2 wins. That brings us to 38.
- Add a full training camp for Casey, that should net us at least 1 win.. which brings us to 39.
I think we'll have a 39-43 record, and will either be in 8th, 9th or 10th depending on how the other teams do.

I will play devil on this
- Last year was short with many BACKtoBACK and even BACKtoBACKtoBACK...not fair comparison
- I never understood a 1 player can account for a win ---you need 5 players
- Can you do the opposite, were a player equals losses?
- How does Field equal auto 3 win...like i said that formula makes no sense you need 5 on court player work as team
- So lack of tanking will get us only 2 wins....
- Other teams improving means we lose 3 ---but we also improved so I had 25 ...makes no sense
- But I will agree with you on the team trainning camp part
Just killing time on a Friday...not much action here at ACC parking lot
