Re: I'm going with 57 wins! What did Vegas said last year? SI had us finishing 11th in the West. Neither Kenny, Ernie, Charles, or Shaq had us making the playoffs.
Well it has been said several times that practice feels like it's mid season. So the win total thread should be earlier too.
Call me an optimist, but I think they'll win 50 ... fewer wins than last year, but maybe actually a so-so to decent defensive team.
Going to take me quite a while to get to 500. Right now I'm spending a lot of time at work. A couple of comments a day at best.
This is a redux of last season for you. I want to say, last season you picked us not even making the playoffs, then we made it to the second round. If this holds true, are we going to make it to the WCFs?
Re: I'm going with 57 wins! Winning the first round added confidence. Getting killed in the second round added IQ and the burning desire to, and an understanding how to, get better. Both were extremely important and valuable.
Okay I mistaken your playoff miss, but the wins and outcome is about the same. Mine was almost nice! Haha
Re: I'm going with 57 wins! I agree. I know a lot wanted Dallas in the second round, but I wanted Spurs. We needed to get our asses handed to us so we know what to improve.
I don't see how it changes the win/loss for Blazers, but it could definitely change the division race
Okay I stand corrected. We had a better opportunity to beat OKC tonight and did. It gave us a 1 game advatange on them and maybe got an extra win
62. 1st or 2nd seed. Leading league in offensive efficiency and 3pt shooting. After all, not much has changed from my opinion last year that we could be a really good version of the 2009 Magic...where we have great shooters, everyone can facilitate, a big man (men?) in the middle for cleanup duty and paint offense when needed. If anything we're massively better at 6-9th man.
