    He's that guy that almost made a minor trade earlier in the season.

    I don't give a fuck about regular season wins if it means we don't get any farther than the first round again. This team has proven that the number of wins it compiles during the regular season has nothing to do with their playoff performance.

    It would be nice to get 50 wins but then I have to be realistic that I don't see it. I had predicted 46 wins but now and I hated to say it I am more in line where HCP is on his win total. Due to I don't see no identity how they really want to play. Sometimes they play with good movement and other night the play a lot iso ball with the guards. The defense scheme just plains sucks for this team. If your not getting anything from the bench your not going to win very many games or if you are barely winning then over using your starters then that will catch up with you sooner or later.

    Stupid thread. If we were playing at a 50-win pace the tone would be different. Were playing at a 33-win pace over our last 15 games.

    I think most of us would be good with a 50 win season, but it doesnt look like (right now) its going to be a 50 win season... Thats why they play the games though.

    Way to bail on the team guys, I’m still confident in my original prediction of 38 wins.

    Looks like Utah will be 1/8 of our losses

    To reach your goal of 50-32, we would need to go 31-17 the rest of the season. If you consider that even remotely possible - I just don't know what to say. The way they are currently playing, 24-24 would be optimistic.

    10-3 start with the continuity edge over everyone else. Now 9-12 since teams have caught up. Which one is more representative? Probably somewhere in the middle....which is pretty much where they are with their current #6 seed. #NBAPurgatory

    A horrible Miami team once went 31-10 in the second half of a season. Surely we can go 31-17. We haven’t played Bulls, Hawks, or Cavs yet. We have a game left against Knicks and a few against Phoenix.

    The way we are “currently playing” is winning 4 of our last 6 games. That’s a 67% winning clip which evens out to 32-16 the rest of the way. So it seems the way we are currently playing gets us to 51 wins. We don’t play Utah every night.

    I think I picked 42 wins at the beginning of the season. Not sure what we are currently on pace for right now.

    'A horrible team once...'? Talk about cherry picking.

    Why stop at 4 of our last 6? How about 10 of our first 13? That is a .769 winning percentage? We should be on pace to win 63 games? 7 of our next 9 at home....we should win all of those games. I'm tired of the lack of faith in this team. Blazers can still finish with 67 wins.....let's Go! :breakdance:
