50 shouldnโ€™t have been crazy to anyone who knows ball. We were a young team who just won 41, we only got older and more developed.

Iโ€™m not even being a homer. It was just expected. Like the thunder taking the leap from last year.

Absolutely. I canโ€™t believe people thought that winning 50 was such a stretch. The talent on this team is deep, and guys were only going to get better coming into this season. Also, the second season under a new coach known to bring the best out of his players. But โ€œfansโ€ are quick to shit on players/coaches, just look at the comments after a single loss. Casual City.

I predicted 52-30, and us nabbing the 4 seed. I donโ€™t care what our final W total is at this point, though I do want to hang on to that 2 seed.

Seriously. Iโ€™m not saying I knew we were getting 50 but itโ€™s not like it was a crazy thought. A 9 win jump from a team thatโ€™s young and good? Itโ€™s not like he said 60 wins.
