But yeah, your thoughts, Trey Kirby.

Yeah, 48.5 is a little bit too high for me.

Only 10 teams this year finished over 48.5.

You look at the Eastern Conference, you're like, Indiana will be good again next year.

Washington will probably be better.

Better than 17 wins.

Better than 17 wins, but I'm like, the Bulls are going to be worse.

They're not going to try for the first half of the season like they did this year.

Bucks, I assume, will be worse.

as well.

But then you've got to factor in tanking reform is coming.

There should be less brutal teams.

And the Hornets dominated against what Tom Haberstroh called the B League.

20-7 against the tanking teams.

Also, no surprise factor for the Hornets now.

Everybody knows they're good.

So it wouldn't surprise me to see them be about...

44 to 46 wins where they finished with 44 wins this year and it just feels a little bit different because they're not like this red hot team that catches everybody off guard this is a team that we're expecting that will have expectations uh come next year and that's just a different way to play

Look, I have to admit, I sort of didn't realize that they did finish with 44 wins this year.

I mean, 44 and 38 is a solid record, and that's why maybe Achieve has got it at 48 and a half.
