[quote="rawdognyc" post=284177][quote="usguard" post=284145]Now lets get back to basketball! Do we get a big for next yr or will we go with what we have so far. MO is that I think we will be between 18-20 wins or am I too optimistic?[/quote]
If we only have 18 wins, with or without Slick, then even I think a shake up would be warranted. We won 16 last year with basically a 6 man rotation. We will have plenty of depth this year, albeit not in the big area, however I don't think that'll hurt us as much as everyone thinks. We can talk about what if Keita this and what if Roberts that, but there will always be question marks. Even without Shamorie, I feel our guard play will be fine. Granted not as good as with slick, however in a down year for the BE, we should be dancing and have 20 wins minimum either way. Granted I'm a homer[/quote]
I think the most common range for end-of-Season standings without Ponds is 7th - 10th place, so guessing 14 - 18 wins in that scenario.
With Ponds it’s say, 3rd - 5th place and roughly 18 - 21 wins.
All of it the product of gut, guesswork, and body twists, along with gnashing teeth.
