    Yeah, seeing that their 19-year-old rookie has started from day 1 and is playing 32 minutes per game.

    That is what Terry Stotts would do.

    Yep--he'd be a lock.

    The Nuggets will bounce back from their bad start. They already are. I could see them finishing higher than 4. They are a good team. They have defense issues though that could continue to hurt them.

    Utah is interesting. They could continue to be good or like the Suns a few years back, start really good and then fizzle out, once teams figure them out.

    I bet they also trade their good role players before the trade deadline. Ainge doesn't fuck around when it comes to tanking. Clarkson and Conley are gone. And probably others as well.

    Different situation. Their 19 year old rookie was arguably a lock for the #1 pick down the stretch right? On a team that will end up with one of the worst record in the league right?They don’t have 2 or 3 vets making 300+MILLION dollars ahead of him in the rotation right?

    The question I asked was how many games did you say the Blazers would win "to start the season", as in the first 8 games.
    Anyway, 40 games isn't out of the range I would expect them to win for the entire season, though that would be the bottom of my range.

    He's reconditioning. I think he is still out for today's game. Maybe next Wednesday he will return.

    Blazers are -4 they need to win by 5 points to cover. Total score over or under is 180

    I'm quite certain the 180 is not the over/under. It might be the money line, but I can't say for sure.
