Over/Under on Jazz Wins

[GoBolts]

What's the over/under on number of wins this upcoming season? I'm going to set the number at 25...

 

[David Ginola 14]

Over...

 

[JimLes]

People are seriously underrating our chances this season. I would be very, very shocked if the Jazz won fewer than 40 games. Barring major injuries, of course.

 

[mellow]

too soon.

 

[Stoked]

I feel they will be about .500.

Let's find out who's on the team first.

What kind of idiot thinks the Jazz will win fewer than 25 games?

Me.

Say they go with the young guys and Kanter(who's coming off an injury)or Favors go down? They could be a pretty bad team.

Hard to say without seeing who the Jazz sign to fill out the roster. I'm hoping for 25 wins, which would have tied for 4th worst last season. I'm expecting 30, which hopefully keeps them in the top-10 (31 wins = 9th last year). I think the Jazz really struggle early on. Despite having a quality PG, it's still a new offense to everyone. Jazz are potentially losing 4 of their top 5 scorers. Yes, Utah will be MUCH improved defensively, but the bench is pretty bad unless the Jazz sign some good FA's. I think 25-30 wins is a good projection, pending what Lindsey does in free agency.

I say 38

 

[Harambe]

I'm going with in the mid 30s.

+1

That being said, it's hard for me to see a scenario where they don't win at least 25.

Gonna wait until we sign another PG and a 3rd big.


If we pick up Millsap, well be in the low 40s again.

 

[Scorpjazz]

easily over, no clue on actual amount til we see who is on team though.

 

[Growlor]

Sounds like 25 was too low.
If the over/under were seet at 35 where would you be?

 

[Dr. Jones]

34

 

[Hotdog]

Enough to just miss the playoffs and not have a good pick.

 

[GoBolts]

Not sure if 25 is too low, yes we need to see the remainder of the roster but my bet is the "big names" who are the FA's won't be on it.

For comparison sake, look at the 04-05 season. Record 26-56
7 man rotation
Boozer 34 min 18 pts.
Harpring 33 min 14 pts.
AK 33 min 15 pts.
Okur 28 min 13 pts.
Bell 28 min 12 pts.
McLeod 26 min 8 pts.
Arroyo 25 min 8 pts.
Remainder of players
Giricek, Eisley, Collins, Snyder, Humphries, Lopez, Borchardt
Coach - Sloane

Last year the Jazz won 43 games and it looks like much of that offense will be gone. TBD.
Our young core has a bright future but is still "young".
Last year's numbers = ? this year.
Favors 23 min 9 pts.
Hayward 29 min 14 pts.
Burks 18 min 7 pts.
Kanter 15 min 7 pts.
Burke - Rookie
Evans, Murphy, Marvin & ????
Coach - Corbin

Unless the FO pulls of some magic I will stand by my prediction of under 25. And yes, I will remember this post and come back to accept my rewards or eat my words at the end of the season... And get ready for the Wiggins sweepstakes.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Can't go by just the averages, GoBolts. The main reason the Jazz were so bad in '04/'05 were the injuries to Boozer and AK. It would likely take <20 wins to be involved in the Wiggins/Parker sweepstakes.
