How Many Wins?

Might as well put them all in one place, so pick a number.  A basic assumption is that this is the team, barring relatively minor trades, at the end of the season.  Major trades, in or out, change the calculus and therefore are not to be considered (especially when we can't know who is coming or going).

Injuries are part of the game.

47 for me.

I went with 46. I think a 46-36 record sounds pretty good.

I voted other. I would love to see them be a big time looser. At least lose enough to get a top 5 pick. I'm still looking down the road a bit before I expect Danny will have all the chips needed to hand Brad a legitimate contending team.  Wishes aside, I'll go with 40 wins.

I'll go on record with 49. I'm really OK with absolutely no trades all season but if we pull the trigger and make the big play of course the W's total will rise

47

48

swish,

Did you make a selection and hit 'Submit Vote'? I ask because there are no votes tallied for either 40 or 'Other'.

Before I vote what does the winner receive? And is it pick the amount of wins without going over?

If the stakes are something like a Walter MCarty bubble head doll I need to put more thought into this.....

Just kidding, I'm going with 51 wins.

42

I must have missed hitting the submit vote. Put me down for 40.

So far, nine board members have voted and the average is 45.5. Waiting for Rambone to come in with 60.

I predicted 50 wins for this season not too long after last season ended, so I am sticking with the 50.

6 and 4 (or perhaps even a bit better) in November will say a lot about this team.

Well that is THE ANSWER....

Odds in Las Vegas have them at 50-1. Years ago a friend went to Vegas BEFORE the Garnett/Allen acquisition. They bought me a ticket, paid me $500 at the end of the season. So....I said what the heck, and bought a $20.00 ticket! You can call me a dreamer, but, since I do not drink, that was my
treat to myself.

What if.............Danny makes a big trade before February deadline and we end up with that guy we have been hoping for? Oh well, I wished for Ray Allen and it came true and I have always liked David Lee and look who is
here.

Wasted $, time will tell GO CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

48 sounds like a good number to me, but I wouldn't be surpised if it was as low as 40ish or as high as 52ish

I voted 52 because that was the highest number, but I really think 55.

i voted 51

I took 41, because I can never resist these things. I keep hearing this voice, however.

It's saying "see me in April."

15 voters, average guess 47.

Steve,

Rambone voted 52, but in his explanation he said he would have voted '55' if he could have. Is your average of 47 based upon the votes cast, or did you add to the total by elevating Rambone's 52 to 55?

Gee, I wonder where that voice is coming from?

55 because that was his real preference.

I'm with you, Matty. 49 sounds like a winner.
