    Sure. Just go 14-6 or better the rest of the way.

    And seriously, if we want to get and hold 3rd seed we'll kind of have to.

    Right now the three seed is playing at a 48 win level. So 12-8 could do it but I don't see us losing 8 games. We should be good.

    I don't see them loosing anytime soon. We'll finish the season strong and go deep in yhe playoffs! The momentum is building for us to have an upset in the west!

    I can see this team going all the way! We should stake out the parade route on where to stabd for the championship!

    I think we'll probably end up just short of 50... I'll say 48. The NBA is unpredictable and I don't want to get my hopes too high... Lord knows the Blazers have brought me back down to earth before.

    Nevertheless, looooove the way we've (and by we've I mean "the man with the big... guts" Damian lillard) been playing recently!

    If you play the ‘schedule game’ and count the wins, it’s possible. But they gotta stay hot for a good while.
    Being a long time Blazer fan... I expect a couple inexplicable losses and see us around 47 wins and either the 4th or 5th seed.

    Here’s how I see it going the rest of the way......
    I say 9-11 which would give us 45 wins. That’s a damn good season with the talent we have. Who knows what seed that will be as crazy as the standings are right now. Could be 5th, could be 9th!

    Not a chance. Our calendar towards the end of season is absolutely brutal. 47 wins would be amazing from here.

    It's what I have been aiming for in my 2K Start Today mode where I picked up the team from before the Kings game. Currently sitting at 42-31 so I might actually get to 48 wins.

    Well good thing you always sell short, so I expect 48 wins.

    You think that were playing at a level where we'd lose 5 straight? Seriously?

    3/3 vs. OKC - W
    Theyre coming off a B2B, we've had their number.
    3/5 @ LAL - W
    Gonna be a harder game than people think, they've been playing well
    3/6 vs. NYK - W
    Not a good team without Porzingas. Should be an easy win
    3/9 vs. GSW - L
    I think this is very winnable. We're coming off 3 days of rest, they're playing a traveling, 2nd night of a B2B, and we've shown we can beat them at home.
    3/12 vs. MIA - W
    Miami's been struggling lately, and we will have played only 1 game in the previous 5 nights.
    3/15 vs. CLE - W
    We've beaten Cleveland at home the past two years, and they aren't improved after the deadline. Only 2 games in the previous 8 days. They have the same record as us as well. Therefore, I think this is a win.
    3/17 vs. DET - W
    We're better, and will get revenge on our previous loss to them.
    3/18 @ LAC - L
    Tough game. I think we'll win one out of three in terms of this game and the two games following.
    3/20 vs. HOU - L
    Tough team, tough game.
    3/23 vs. BOS - W
    Boston hasn't played as well lately as earlier in the season, and we'll be looking for revenge after losing to them on a buzzer beater earlier in the season. Seems exactly like the game we'd win which we shouldnt.
    3/25 @ OKC - L
    Very hard to sweep all 4 games against a team like this.
    3/27 @ NOP - W
    They've been hot but played a very easy schedule lately. That includes SAS who didnt Gasol, Kawhi, or Aldridge (for most of the game). Tough game but I think we'll take care of it.
    3/28 @ MEM - W
    Trap game. Gotta stay sharp.
    3/30 vs. LAC - W
    We're better than them, so a home win makes sense.
    4/1 vs. MEM - W
    Trap game, this team is hopefully past letdowns against bad teams.
    4/3 @ DAL - W
    Easiest game remaining on our schedule against the "tanking" Mavericks.
    4/5 @ HOU - L
    Tough game. Would be a huge win.
    4/7 @ SAS - L
    Could be the game that wins or loses HCA for us.
    4/9 @ DEN - W
    We'll either beat DEN, HOU, or SAS on this trip. Denver is most likely.
    4/11 vs. UTA - W
    Solid win to close out the season.

    That's 14-6 to finish the season, and 50 wins.
    I expect anywhere between 48-50.

    Ehh I wouldn't say there's no chance. Unlikely but possible.

    It's subtle. Check again. Look at HCP's profile picture in my edit.
