Official Record Prediction Thread

Its after the 25th, so I won't change my official prediction. I knew the compressed training camps and season would benifit teams with scorers, and being the Jazz are short on shooters/scorers I figured they would be down. But I didn't figure the old teams of the league would struggle so much early. It will be interesting to see if LAL, DAL, SAS, BOS or PHX get down a bit early in the season and just decide to rest the vets and plan on lottery balls. This could improve the Jazz W/L ratio.
 
Wow, the Jazz look turrible. Getting to 10 wins might be a stretch. Let's start looking at who the top 3 players might be in the draft.

We may want to look at the entire top 10 as there is a decent chance we will have 2 of those picks.
 
Alright.

Xsy's official record prediction:

26-40

Half season checkup!

Right now, Utah's sitting at 15-17, winning at 0.469 percent

My prediction of 26-40, or a 0.394 record, is looking a little pessimistic. Utah would have to be 13-20 right now for my prediction to look like it's coming true.

March is going to be their hardest month this season. Hopefully they can do a little better than they did in February.
 
I could have sworn I posted my prediction (28-38), but I guess not. You can believe me or not, makes no difference to me.

So far I've been wrong 7 times: 3 times I predicted losses and the Jazz won, 4 times I predicted wins and the Jazz lost. Net result is that I'm off by one game. My All-Star break prediction was 16-16 and they are one game behind that pace, at 15-17.

The really bad news is that if I remain close, they will go 12-22 or 13-21 the rest of the way. That won't be fun to watch, and there will be even more witch hunts on JazzFanz.

Not unless:

1) Ty starts playing our young guys heavy minutes in that stretch; and
2) We get back our draft pick at the end of the year.
 
Unfortunately, the prognostication was predicated on playing Portland 66 times. Having reviewed the schedule, I'm revising my earlier buffoonery. Jazz will win at best half of their games, but at worst will be a .500 team.

Ugh. Can I revise my prediction? I'm thinking that the Jazz are nothing more than a middle-of-the-pack, overwhelming average, and mundanely median team. I wouldn't be surprised to not see them fail to miss not hitting the 33 win mark. Conversely, 33 losses seems all too likely.
 
I predicted a .500 record. Looks like I'll miss. But hey, if only winning 10 more games or so nets the Jazz a top-10 pick, I'm all for it. Let's lose a few more and drop below GS since it appears New Jersey and Sacramento are likely to pass them up soon.
