I was right under that (39). For the sake of a few on this board, I hope the Jazz get to at least 26. But I have to admit I've moved from optimistic to "man, this team is a LONG ways away." So now I'm hoping for a season full of Chicago-type games (close losses) and a win total of 30 or under. I'm already in the mode of thinking Utah really needs another significant player. Thirty wins last year would have resulted in the #8 lottery spot.

The next 17 games (through Dec 31st):
Home (8): Probable wins (3) vs Orlando, Philly and Miinesota. Possible wins (2) against Denver and Miami. Probable losses (3): LA Clippers, Toronto, San Antonio
Away (9): Possible wins (3): @OKC, Orlando and Charlotte. Probable losses (6): @Sac, Was, NO, Miami, Memphis, LA Clippers.

I think the Jazz will go 6-11, maybe 7-10. So just slightly better than their current record.

So around 12-20? Man our schedule has been brutal. I remember seeing a stat that we had played the most away games and the least home games out of all the nba teams...

Not anymore. Jazz just played 3 out of 4 at home. They've now played 7 home and 8 away.
And we had a relatively easy EC road trip, but didn't take full advantage. The schedule will always be brutal because of us playing in the WC. Outside of the Jazz, Lakers, Minnesota and OKC (but just for one more week), the WC doesn't have any bad teams.

The median is 35 wins. We could still hit that if we are a .500 team for the rest of the season.
 
I said 31 and now I really don't see them getting past 22. They shouldn't be this bad but they are, who is to blame for this one.??? Players - too easy; Coach - expected; the entire front office - a challenge :)
 
Would be kinda funny if literally all 60+ of us guessed too high.
we'd suck at The Price is Right.

We might be looking at that scenario. The lowest guess was 27 wins.
I got suckered in to thinking Trey and Enes had really improved and went with 39 wins (ouch!)

As for placing blame, look no further than the guards. Trey and Dante have stunk it up. Hood never did find his shot. And of course Alec, who was shooting a decent 3PT percentage (38%) was lost for the season. Also blame Quin for not giving Rudy the starting job. The team was rallying behind him. Now that Enes is back, Rudy is getting limited minutes. If this is to build Kanter's trade value, all is forgiven. If not, QS needs to look to next season as he is doing with Dante and start Gobert.
 
I was high by 5-6 games. I think I really overestimated our bench play. And of course there's the whole "Burks out for the season" thing.
 
Burks and hood injury + exum being worse than I thought and kanter and favors missing games.

I think i picked 37 or 39 wins
