"Freak-Out Date"

Discussion in 'Portland Trail Blazers' started by PtldPlatypus, Oct 31, 2017.

When is it no longer "too early" to worry about the Blazers' performance this season?

  1. Now--it's never to early to be concerned about underachievement.

  2. 11/18--The first 16 games are the easiest part of the schedule. Bad play early is a BAD sign.

  3. 11/27--21 games is over a quarter of the way through the season. That's a big enough sample.

    23.6%

  4. 12/23--33 games before Christmas, 40% of the season. That's plenty for evaluation.

  5. 2/14--Nothing in the NBA season really matters until after the all-star break.

    12.7%

  6. 4/11--Wake me up when the playoffs start; we're a lock to be in them anyway.

  7. Other--I'm not beholden to your poll! I'll pick my own freak-out date, thank you very much!

    Not for me. Lots of season left, we’re still, insanely, in 6th place in the West. Call me after the ASG.

    500 ball club 26 games in....means we're probably a 500 ball club...good news is with this record...we'll probably be shopping before the deadline...trades around the corner anytime now...it's obvious we're not good enough as we stand to get to the next level of playoff success...we're just like most of the league...middle of the pack...the top 4 teams in the league would probably sweep us in a 7 game series if the playoffs start tomorrow..but I do think Dame makes the allstar team this year

    That's a mean thing they would do to his family and him. If I was the head honcho, I would dismiss him 1/2/18

    Bump. We won 49 last season. Few predicted that high. My 10-games-in prediction method was even more accurate than I dared believe. It's scary.

    Yesterday we were 7-10, so my prediction is .700 at the end of the 2018-19 season. Once again, my scientific findings scared me, so I delayed posting this .700 prediction until after we played Milwaukee, with its 8-1 (.889) record, 4th-best in the league. Then we beat them, so our record is 8-3 (.727).

    While it is tempting to predict .727 for the season, tampering with my super-sharp method would be dangerous and terrifying. I will be conservatively humble and stick with my algorithm's .700 prediction. Please support me with donations until you feel pain. Walking into my laboratory every dawn is an act of courage.
