    How many wins?

    For me...54 wins, first in division, make the WCF's.

    Do you want me to make this a poll, man?

    I think we'll split the difference between the last two seasons. I'll go with 52 wins, hoping for more :)

    Thanks for the offer Ed, but no. A poll would make it pretty much just how many wins. I know that's what the thread titles says. This way, posters can guess division and where they think the team gets in the playoffs, if they are inclined to do that.

    52 sounds good too me as well. I hope that the Blazers have slightly better than average health this year to statistically balance last year, if that happens - this team is 55+

    In the Playoffs this team gets out of the first round. How far, I do not know - but I would love to think that they win at least 2 rounds.

    53 wins. If our bigs are healthy we make it to the conference finals.

    Gotcha.

    I'll go with 52 and a second round playoff appearance (yay!) and loss (boo!).

    This should be like Christmas eve and I feel like we're playing forehead darts.

    P.S. I just made up "forehead darts", but I think it would involve darts and foreheads.

    48 wins, really? A step back from last year?

    I think the lack of depth at center early on could put us in a hole and the vibe around this team does seem a little ... what's the word I'm looking for? ... "Strained" I guess. And lastly I think the bottom of the conference is a little bit better which should make the road tougher.

    (If it's any consolation I think the Jazz will be a 4th seed with 50 wins, Thunder will probably only win 51, and the Lakers 55).

    I don't think Utah has any depth. They looked great against us in a meaningless preseason game, but who knows. Of course I am concerned about our Center situation, but WHO DOES HAVE DEPTH AT CENTER?

    51 wins, NW Division champions, Cho makes a big trade, fall in the WCF.

    And a lot of bitching here when we have a good season.
