True Lakers Fans

My over/under wins for the Lakers is 56.5 which I think is pretty fair. What do you guys think? I have us 57-25 if healthy. Just over. Early on we may struggle because of chemistry but with LeBron, AD, Boogie, and Green I can see 57.

48 - 52 wins. They need to develop chemistry, Vogel will have to figure out rotations and competition too stiff.

I think 50 wins is realistic, considering we have a pretty nice lineup. There are a few seasoned deep teams that will beat us straight up, and I'm sure we'll lose a handful of games to Western teams that gameplan for our strengths and can drop buckets on us. Defense will be the difference between 44 wins and 57, and I pray to Chick that Vogel and the staff make top-notch defense a calling-card straight out of the gate. If the health gods smile on us and the squad really WANTS to become a top-10 defense, we can put winning streaks together and easily win 50+. As we all should know, it's not necessarily going to be as important how many wins we get as it is making it to the playoffs healthy and on a roll.

I am shooting big, I think it will take 57 wins to get the #1 seed because I see the Clippers winning 56 or 57. I also think we can win 57, we may start out 10-10 in our 1st 20 or so because of lack of playing together/chemistry but after that we should roll.
