    I think I said something like 35-38 which is where I think we'll end up. Can anyone link that thread from before the season? This team is right about where I thought it would be. I'm generally an optimistic guy so this is a good thing!

    I said 32. We currently have 28, with 22 games to go, which IMO is about 4-6 more wins than we "should" have. It will be tough to only win 4 more games, so my guess is looking a little low.

    btw, we are 28-32, just like last year at this time, with a much better team. Future is bright

    Go Blazers!

    I had 41. In hindsight I overestimated our bench.

    I think our bench is better than it seems. It's just really tough to play so many raw young players so many minutes and expect great results. Leonard took a lot longer to understand how to play, and I think it took everybody a long time to realize how Claver could be properly used. I also overestimated our capabilities at PG. I thought Smith looked ok in Summer League. He's clearly not.

    Fiddy.

    We still got a shot if they'd only let Nolan Smith and Babbitt play.

    I predicted 44 and the playoffs. Expected Batum to earn that contract but him and Lillard have been above what I expected, what I didn't think would happen would be this bench be this horrible (until the last few games). I didn't expect Leonard to have a big impact but I did expect Freeland and Claver (although Claver has come on in recent games) to have very big impacts. Also expected Babbit to continue his hot shooting from last year and was hoping Smith was more of a "Nate fuckup" then the horrible horrible player he actually is.

    I don't remember exactly but I think I said 32?

    I'm sure somebody will go look it up now so they can volleyball spike my wrongness back in my face.

    It was already bumped and you did predict that.

    you would be closer if you predicted 82-0 like I did! More realistic and logical guess.

    That's some funny math you're working on there.

    IIRC, I said we'd flirt with a winning record for most of the season, falter late, then catch a couple of late season breaks and end up within one game of .500.
