Revised prediction thread

I thought now that it's the end of February, it might be nice for us to go on record and state where we think this team will end up. Also, I need to try to wipe the egg off my face from my beginning of the season prediction of 28-33 wins.

Here's the schedule: http://espn.go.com/nba/team/schedule/_/name/por/portland-trail-blazers

How do you think we finish? And what seed would you think that would be?

 

I think we have seven losses the rest of the way, putting us at 57 wins and the #3 seed.

Holy cow, I've become Mags. :MARIS61:

 

after your preseason predicting disaster I wonder if we should now fade you in a big way? I hope you did not just jinx the team big time

 

What is this shit? The Bro-Code states you must stick with your preseason prediction. MODS, lock this thread!

 

DAMN YOU! I JUST LOOKED AND SAID WE'D WIN 17 OF THOSE GAMES! I guess I'm at 57 as well.

 

Wasn't your original prediction 41 or so? I thought I was Mags-Crazy saying 50!

 

I say 55, because I like round numbers, and we'll make some mistakes. #4 seed.

 

I think I said 47 before the season.

Gonna go up to 53. 13-11 the rest of the way. Brutal March schedule, so we have to get all our cheap wins now. We have two more 5 game road trips.

@DAL, @HOU, @MEM, @ SAS, @NOP in 7 days

@CHA, @MIA, @ORL, @ATL, @CHI in 8 days

If we can get through those two trips at 5-5, we might get up to 55. Our toughest home games are once vs. LAC and twice vs GS. Our last two games are against these guys-- could have huge seeding implications.

 

I say 56, up from my preseason 48

 

I think mine was 46 wins or so.

 

You still have a chance, we just need to petition the new commish to review our 18 losses.

 

I was thinking mid 40's as well. As long as we were healthy.

Looking ahead, race for #8 in West could really go down to wire:
4/12 - Phx/Dal
4/13 - Gsw/Por
4/14 - Mem/Phx
4/14 - Min/Gsw
4/16 - Dal/Mem
