    I'm gonna say Lakers; they won't take us seriously, we will have four days off the prepare.

    was that a rookie Embiid out for season Sixers team?
    Without looking, I doubt that was a max salary team with a bunch of pros. If this Blazers team can't win 10 games, then the "replace Billups" thread will become a hot topic.

    I think the team might gel a bit and snag some wins later in the season.

    It was the 72-73 sixers. A couple years before losing to the greatest NBA team in the world in the 1977 finals.

    I think people here would be alright with making the finals in 5 years given the current situation.

    I initially voted for not this season. We should get one of the two games against Memphis we have at home though. If not, it could be awhile.

    I didn't vote for tomorrow, but it was my second pick. Sixers are on the second night of a back to back.

    The Pistons have a complete starting five that plays defense and has enough shooters to space the floor. They have 2-3 reliable scorers. They honestly look like a playoff team and remind me of those late 2000s Portland or Seattle/OKC teams, just brimming with youth and potential.

    Because of this, I also don't know that Scoot will be able to finally break out against a strong defensive team in Detroit. They have Ausar, Stew, and Duren clogging up the paint and hounding people who try to get through.

    In that sense, I don't see Portland winning. Furthermore, a 20+ win season means the Blazers win closer to 25% of the games.

    I'd expect the W against the fourth team here, via Memphis, rather than against the Pistons.

    I'm getting a historically bad vibe from this team. And I was optimistic going into this season. I just didn't anticipate how bad the team would be as a whole...I also thought Scoot was going to be much better.

    Just like Canadian money, Canadian wins only count for 2/3rds of an American win so it doesn't really count.

    As a season ticket holder "first home win."
