    Being rational is being a Laker fan?

    He was responding to somrone worried about making the playoffs. What is more likely, playoffs or 20 wins?

    HCP wasnt the irrational one

    You don't think we'll even get 20 wins? The only that that has happened ins the 2nd season in Franchise history, in 1971 when they went 18-64. The worst team in the modern era was 2005-2006, and even they won 21 games.

    I think our current roster is better than this:

    Telfair/Jack
    Webster/Dixon
    Miles/Outhouse
    Randolph/Skinner
    Pryzbilla/Ratliff

    I have the Blazers winning around 25 games this season 30 would be a stretch goal.

    43 win season 10 or 11 seed in the West. I don't bet but here's my prediction

    I think the Blazers at least win 30 games. The team honestly isn't that bad.

    I think they can win 30, not because we're better than expected, but because there are still a lot of bad teams in this league that despite our losses, we still have more talent than.

    Wow, you backed off that "won't even 'eek' into 20 wins" statement pretty quickly!

    30 wins if we had an Eastern Conference team's schedule. West is just so damn tough!

    I figure we'll be the team others play down to or rest their starters against and 43 wins doesn't sniff the playoffs in the west anyway

    Been through them before. We have one star. I like some of the guys on our roster, and look forward to seeing them bust their asses out there. That said, 98% of our roster, would be fantastic 6-10 guys coming off the bench. Combine that with the defensive attention that will now be thrusted upon Dame.......
