    So, the Blazers have completed the first quarter of their season and are sitting at 4th place in the West with a 13-8 record. Here are their next 20 games, which will take them to the midpoint of the season. What's your prediction as to how many of these they win?

    • Thursday, Nov. 30 vs. Milwaukee| 7:00 p.m
    • Saturday, Dec. 2 vs. New Orleans | 7:00 p.m.
    • Tuesday, Dec. 5 vs. Washington | 7:00 p.m.
    • Saturday, Dec. 9 vs. Houston | 7:00 p.m.
    • Monday, Dec. 11 at Golden State | 7:30 p.m.
    • Wednesday, Dec. 13 at Miami | 4:30 p.m.
    • Friday, Dec. 15 at Orlando | 4:00 p.m.
    • Saturday, Dec. 16 at Charlotte | 4:00 p.m.
    • Monday, Dec. 18 at Minnesota | 5:00 p.m.
    • Wednesday, Dec. 20 vs. San Antonio | 7:00 p.m.
    • Friday, Dec. 22 vs. Denver | 7:00 p.m.
    • Saturday, Dec. 23 at L.A. Lakers | 6:30 p.m.
    • Thursday, Dec. 28 vs. Philadelphia | 7:30 p.m. (TNT)
    • Saturday, Dec. 30 at Atlanta | 4:30 p.m.
    • Monday, Jan. 1 at Chicago | 5:00 p.m.
    • Tuesday, Jan. 2 at Cleveland | 4:00 p.m.
    • Friday, Jan. 5 vs. Atlanta | 7:00 p.m.
    • Sunday, Jan. 7 vs. San Antonio | 6:00 p.m.
    • Tuesday, Jan. 9 at Oklahoma City | 5:00 p.m.

    I'll say 10-10, but sure there are several of these they're capable of stealing.

    12-8

    The Blazers have some tough games in this stretch, but I believe they're hitting their stride and may even out perform my 12 win prediction.
    (I'm loaded up on the Kool Aid!)

    You're predicting a loss to Atlanta? You've gotta be kidding.

    That is one ugly stretch. I am thinking 8-12

    7-13 in my opinion. Tough stretch. Making up for that easy early season schedule for sure.
    Wonder how many will be jumping off the ledge on here? Don't know why I even ask. I'll still be supporting my favorite team, bet on that.

    If Memphis can beat Houston twice, we can beat them once.

    13-7 lets get it.

    Not kidding. We always find a way to lose to a shit team.
    I guess I should have also predicted one win that we shouldn't get.

    HAAAA! That shit just made me laugh out loud. Man, that's always a tough back to back. We get in SO late down there. Should be a tough game.

    True--in our first 21, we lost to Memphis, Brooklyn, and Sacramento. Sad losses, all three. I guess a stinker in ATL isn't out of the realm of possibility...

    Looking again, you're right--didn't realize that game was the second half of a home-road back-to-back. Although, I've been told that teams actually generally do worse when they get into LA early the day before a game, because they tend to spend the night before the game out on the town. Blazers are gonna sleep on the plane and then go straight to the hotel. All bidniss.

    My first look over those games, I got 12-8. Would put us at 25-16. I think it's very doable.
