    So, we have seen all the preseason games (well some of us) and have (at least) a little better feel of roles and what we could be good and not so good at. Time to put down your official prediction and playoff seed. @Orion Bailey will record these.

    53 and 4th seed. But it'll be a very close race for 4-7, so they could fall anywhere in that range.

    58 wins 2 seed

    I dont think you will need to win 67 games to get the 2 seed this year. It's going to be a close race from 4-10. A tiebreaker will be in effect for the 5-8 seeds.

    The large number of those +14 wins will come from improved play on the road. Last season we were 16-25, this season I think we will be closer to 26-15, 32-9 at home.

    Looks like I'm off then. Blazers outperform HCP by 21 wins. So that puts us at 67 this year.

    Just like last year, I will keep track of the win/loss of each predictor. Color coding is as follows and is ONLY for the games predicted:


    Black = undecided....still in the running to be correct
    Red = Blazers have blown by your prediction and you have lost.

    Green = the lucky winner/currently on point

    KingAlbertoJrSpeed
    ..............64-18......1st seed
    RipCityDSCPL........................61-21......3rd seed
    Dougnsalem..........................60-22.....2nd seed
    rotary111...............................58-24......1st seed
    Fonzthecpt1...........................58-24.....2nd seed
    Chris Craig............................56-26......3rd seed
    BonesJones...........................53-29......3rd seed
    julius.....................................53-29......4th seed
    BigGameDamian...................51-31.......4th seed
    KeepOnRollin........................50-32.....4th Seed
    Orion Bailey..........................49-33......3rd seed
    OSUBlazerfan.......................49-33......5th seed
    Rhal......................................47-35......5th seed
    trailblazer18.........................47-35......5th seed
    WillG....................................47-35......5th seed
    HCP......................................46-36......6th seed


    I will add to this list as more provide their predictions. Cut off will be at tip off on October 25th. At the point no other entries will be eligible ( late entries I will still track, but wil not be counted as official.

    I would like to give away a prize for this, however I'm not sure how to do it. I would like to give away a pair of tickets to the final game, but how do we know who is the winner BEFORE the game? plus with that short of notice will the winner be able to attend? Are they even in this state?
    I just thought it would be awesome for the person who is right to be able to attend the final game for so closely predicting how this years team will do.
    Anyone have any thoughts on how best to do this?
