    Too early to talk about 60 wins?

    We're working on the second 25% of those wins already. I'm excited to see how long it takes to get to 30!

    For comparison, other Portland three-loss teams:

    1990-91: 27-3 (63-19 .768)
    1977-78: 18-3 (58-24 .707)
    2013-14: 16-3 (?)
    1998-99: 15-3 (35-15 .700)
    1999-00: 14-3 (59-23 .720)
    1989-90: 12-3 (59-23 .720)

    Not saying they're going to win 58-63, but maybe...

    Hah! That's right! Yeah, I've been fine, so I guess this is a little off topic, but... I took my talents to Reddit. I'm fond of the upvote/downvote system. I decided to see how you all were doing, so I had to cross-post my latest stat-dig when I saw this thread. I got out of the service and returned home to the Portland area to be a full-time student. How are you?

    Electrical Engineering at Oregon Tech-Wilsonville (opened 2012). I have a sick fascination for logic and machines. It's been a lot of fun, but this semester is particularly brutal, but I'm doing all right for a guy in his late 30s. So I'm looking... Lady Peacock, is it? When is that coming out?

    I don't see any reason why this team can't win 55 games or more. Every time the haters think "this game will show us where we're at" we win. We're undefeated against 3 of the other 4 elite teams, only cause we haven't played Miami yet. We are really good.

    Bump. Our voting by this point was pretty accurate.

    Damn, this should have been a public poll!

    I had said 50-54.

    this team continues to "surprise"! First the great start, then the slump and slew of injuries once again reduce expectations, and then a great stretch with LMA out and bench kicking in big time and we are back to a big mood upswing! Great season so far, my hope now is that we surprise in the playoffs!

    I love how nearly every time, we see a normal distribution in the responses to these polls.

    We're pretty smart in aggregate.

    Our little group here is totally representative of the entire fanbase apparently. Or something like that.

    haha

    I think we're accurate to the different kinds of fans Portland has. A microcosm.

    40-18 is so far beyond my expectations for this team that I can't wait to see how they're going to surprise me next.

    your big words don't impress me!

    I think it's still not sinking in to me about how good the record actually is. If they continue at the winning % they're at now, it's 56 wins. Which puts them as the 6th best record in team history, and nothing to be that upset about.

    I'm not sure they'll end up with 56 wins, but I can't think of the last time the Blazers actually had as surprising of a season as this one is. Of course, the record of the last 15+ games has put a weird filter on the teams overall record.
