I dispute your methodology in identifying games we 'should' win or lose. Rather than look at overall record, that should be determined based on host's home record vs visitor's road record. For instance, the Blazers have a better overall record than the Clippers, but their 17-15 road record is worse than the Clippers' 18-13 home record, so the Blazers should be expected to lose that game. Same logic applies to road games at OKC, NOP, SAS, & DEN, which is why I presently have the Blazers final record projected at 47-35. Anywhere in between your figure and mine should be pretty acceptable.
You are kidding right? You work for the organization you posted a schedule on. Come on now. It has EVERYTHING to do with it. Id say you have been reading many things wrong... Like lots of my posts... And oh yeah.... #23wins.
Yep. No matter how you look at it, there will be games that we 'should have won' and didn't, and vice-versa. The best team in the league never goes 82-0, and the worst never goes 0-82. That chart in no way shows what I think will happen. As you pointed out, too many variables. Take each game one at a time, and give it our best shot. There isn't a team in the league now that I think we don't have a chance of beating. Of course GS & HOU are tough, but it's getting harder and harder to bet against Dame, er. I mean the Blazers.
Everyone else's schedule about to get tougher. They have to play us. Seriously, not to go all @KingSpeed, but POR currently has a better record than MIN, OKC, SAS, NOP, DEN, LAC, UTA and CLE. Should we not be favorites against those teams, or at least have 50/50 odds? BNM
I dispute any method that considers the Blazers record prior to the All-Star break because, well, DAME TIME!!!
You DO realize on average I work for about 20 different "companies" over the course of the year and the Blazers are just one of 'em. I'm steadying juggling shit kid.
Thennnn maybe you shouldnt post like you know it all and are close to the team and know things....kid You are the one constantly blasting the optimists and trying to... “keep it real” cause you know more... Get the fuck out of here with that bs..... kid. Own you shit bro. Yours can stink too at times.
I can't believe I'm actually acknowledging you again. I have NEVER said I know it all and know MORE than people on here, EVER. Everything I post is my opinion as a basketball fan and has nothing to do with who I work for. Please give me an example of me saying I know it all. I'm AM very close to the team, players and coaches and staff, but I have never posted things I've heard or seen. I share my work experience on here because in the past I was always asked about it. Now with you new guys, I'm all of a sudden bragging. So your first sentence here isn't working at all. And I don't think I'm "blasting" anybody. I may not agree with them and let them know it, but this place for all opinions, everybody's. And if I have ever "blasted" anybody, I promise I've never come at them with an "I know more attitude". I may call them nuts or crazy for their opinion, but have never claimed I know more. You need to get your shit straight before you start making claims about me on here. I'm serious. Stay clear of me man. One thing I really don't like is people saying I said something when I didn't. Quit sweating me, I don't even acknowledge you for a reason and posts like this is why.
#23wins That in no way could be interpreted as being pro Blazers organization. And it was embarrassing.
Who said I was pro Blazers organization? Nobody brings up me nailing the next season win total though. Remember that one Bulls fan?
Ha! This prediction will never go away huh? Ha!. Said before I thought we would suck. We lost like 5 of our best 6 guys. I think that was the Veags line that year too huh? Close at least. That will be my most memorable post Denny.
I don't think anyone can accuse you of being blinded by being close to the team/players. After #23wins, I'm surprised they still let you wash and wax their cars.
Dude, you have issues. Right off the bat you misread my first line. I said you post LIKE you know it all. NOT that you SAID you know it all. "Thennnn maybe you shouldnt post like you know it all and are close to the team and know things....kid" Learn the game then post rook. Jesus... I got my shit straight. Your the one all bent. lol. You want me to stay clear of you? Then leave the forum or don't talk shit and them back track. LMAO.. When I have more time (cause you aren't worth fretting over), Ill quote a few of your posts acting like you know it all just so you can bitch some more... lol. For someone who loves to crack on people and joke around, you sure are a sensitive little OB. I thought you had thick skin...At least that's what others tell me.... I love people who dish it out but cant take it. I love it. I will pick on you until you get it... ROOK!
