Bill Sy: In our revisit of our preseason predictions, I set the bar at 50 wins and I’m sticking to it. They’ll have to go 16-6 with the 10th easiest schedule in the league. That means splitting four games against the Warriors, Jazz, and Grizzlies (x2) and grabbing at least a game or two out of five from the Bucks, Heat, Bulls, and Nets with some wiggle room to spare. And keep this in mind:
CHI: @ MIA, MIL, @ PHI, CLE, @ MIL, @ CLE, MIA, MIL, BOS
Four and a half games separate 1st and 6th.
