    I have to declare my official prediction of where the Blazers will finish this season, before my opinion becomes obvious and non daring:

    Blazers win the NW Division. On record. Anyone else willing to jump on board with me?

    I've always thought about 47 wins, but after watching the regular rotation last night, I think:

    51 wins, edging out Utah (injury issues and chemistry problems predicted) for the NW division. They will come on late in the season though.

    I'll go with the NW Division title as well, put us at 53-29. Time to set the expectations high for this team, we're going to be good.

    I want to see us beat a good team before I get all excited about their prospects, two wins against the woeful Kings and one against the Hawks in pre-season are hardly good litmus tests.

    48 wins, only because I think we have a spate of injuries and will miss Webs more than we think.

    everything would have to go right with the luck of the draw that is player health, but thats what I see as the top end of what they could do this year.

    Agreed. 47 or 48 if everything breaks right - 45 if Oden gets off to a rough start. Say 22-19 in the first half, and 26-15 in the second. Utah remains the class of the division.

    I picked 52 a while back and I'm sticking with it. Should get us top spot in our division.
