    Just for the sake of fun what is your way too early to predict the season win total prediction with a +/- also.

    My prediction: 30 +/-3

    With this group, I'll say 35. If vegas has our over under at ~30 wins, I think i'll place a bet

    Is that a cop out?

    I've said this before, I really don't know what our win total will be and I don't care. I hope we don't chase wins. Right now we need to develop our young guys. The true success of this season, for me anyway, will be about how our young guys progress. Give CJ minutes. Give Meyers minutes. Let Crabbe show what he can do. Let this group grow together. What would success be? The 8th seed? The playoffs? I don't want to be the plucky team that gets swept in the first round. If we play our young guys and we win games, great, I would be thrilled if our young core clicks and has success.

    I agree but wins are important so they stay positive. The losing on a 15 win team can be counter productive to their development. So I do hope they win over 30.

    My way too early prediction in Mid July is...........35
    if Dame stays healthy.

    I think 35 would be nice all things considered. The trouble is the West is still stacked despite our fall.

    The NBA is so tough right now. Which teams would you say are a guaranteed win? Are there any?

    I've heard predictions of 26 wins and such. I think that's too low. Although, it would really help them get a top pick.

    I think Damian alone gets you 30 wins. 33 feels about right.

    I'm saying 36 wins, with a 12-game swing either way.

    If Dame stays healthy, 15-20 wins.

    None right now. But every year there are teams who get destroyed by injuries. As long as we are not one of them....we could come close to duplicating what Utah did last year. (Get hot late when other teams are hurt and our young players start to gel.)

    I think we can go 15-15 against the east and 20-32 against the west. If we stay relatively healthy.

    I was told by RIPCITYDUDE
    So I am setting low expectations for the Blazers, so I will not be disappointed.
