How convenient of them to remove last years predictions

Last year they predicted 38-44 games...SHOENE predicted 32 wins..Year before that 37 wins..
Thats too low. 35—39 wins would be more fair
My suspicion was that the advanced stats would generally call this a 30ish win team. So this 25 prediction isn't that far off - it's just the low end of the range. At least we have our draft pick.

by free agency win shares alone the knicks should be at 27 wins and that's not including melo's win shares. bad and sulking melo gets you to 29, typical melo gets you 32-34 wins... and i am not even factoring in grant and kp6.
a buying in melo + grant and kp6 playing well gets you another 4-6 wins i should think.

How did you arrive at 27?

i looked up the free agents we acquired and added their win shares, and then subtracted the win shares of the players we lost, and it netted a positive. i can't find the post where i initially did the research, but i was impressed with lopez and o'quinn on their win shares.
marijuana was not involved.

so coaching and chemistry don't play a factor?

What draft pick? Lost it in the Bargnani trade.

you missed the [sarcasm][/sarcasm]
the way I look at this squad is its a 30 win team that can be +/- 10 games.
If players stay healthy, if they meld, if the coach does well - it could be a 40 win team.
If players aren't healthy, don't meld and the coach struggles- it could very well be a 20 win team.
I don't foresee a (likely) scenario that puts us out of either range.

Only if your connecting the dots. You don't like fish. Phil likes Fish. That's all you need to know until the season starts.
Nothing changes until Phils Facts throws him under the bus. Until then, there are no games until end of Oct.

Don't yah just hate it, or just have to laugh you get all excited about a "gotcha" moment, maybe even tried to find a cute youtube video to drive home the point, then someone reminds you this is just entertainment, not law school?
25 is kinda low. This team has the potential to make the playoffs. If they don't gel I could see 35 wins though....I'm hoping for 43-39
