    As far as the Batum and Babbit predictions go, let's try to simplify it.

    As in, where do you think Batum will rank in scoring average on the team?

    And with Babbit, how many 15+ point games do you think he will have?

    How many of these predictions being wrong would be considered a failure?

    and primus... babit has at leats 2 games like that and batum has his best year yet. which means numbers go up in major areas like scroing steals rebounds etc.... i mean if he has like 3 of 5 thats included. but it cant be ft% or some stupid stats.... major stats

    Like I said before, if someone throws out enough enough crap something might eventually stick, deleted.

    Ok. I'll settle for 3 15+ games and, and a career high in 3 of 5 major statistics: points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. (I actually hope you're right about this one.) Haha.

    Sound like a deal?

    1. Blazers get off to horrible start this season (.500 or sub .500 after 20 games).

    2. Greg Oden doesn't play in more than 30 games.

    3. Brandon Roy misses 20+ games with the same injury.

    4. A big trade does not take place that drastically improves the team.

    5. Nicholas Batum averages career high's in 3 of the 5 major statistical categories (Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals and Blocks).

    6. Luke Babbit scores 15+ points in 3 wins this season. (Non-garbage time.)

    7. The Portland Trailblazers miss the playoffs.


    If MIXUM is wrong about 4 out of the 7 predictions above, he will post: "MIXUM was 100% wrong about the 2010-2011 season." as his signature for a year starting from the end of the regular season.

    If by some act of god he is correct about these predictions, I will post: "I was OWN'd by MIXUM." as my signature for a year starting from the end of the regular season.

    Pretty straight forward. :)

    I thought he said Roy had to miss 20+ to the same injury, and Babbitt's scoring would win us games so his 15+ should come in meaningful minutes in actual wins.

    Other than that I like your odds

    He is letting MIXUM backtrack in a major way from his original claims.

    You're right, I changed it to be more specific to the original guidelines.

    It's ok. He will still lose. I'm not the least bit worried.

    Yea odds are in your favor, even letting him back way off his ridiculously stupid Batum claim only gives him 1 pretty sure fire get while I see at least 3 that are almost locks in your favor.

    6:59am, Today, Mixum notices the thread he started became civil. Prior to the civility, he had poured gasoline all over the thread, lit a match, and walked away. Never to be heard from. Hilarious. Every thing you'll ever need to know about Mix, you can find right here, in this thread. Brilliant!

    We should just change the title to: MIXUM: "Something is not right."

    1. Blazers get off to horrible start this season (.500 or sub .500 after 20 games).

    I disagree with .500 being a horrible start, but ok.

    2. Greg Oden doesn't play in more than 30 games.

    3. Brandon Roy misses 20+ games with an injury.

    4. A big trade does not take place that drastically improves the team.

    There should be a vote on what classifies as a major trade. I would say last year's Camby trade was huge.

    5. Nicholas Batum averages career high's in 3 of the 5 major statistical categories (Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals and Blocks).

    Should be changed to Batum will have the highest win shares on the team. I have little doubt Batum's numbers will increase.

    6. Luke Babbit scores 15+ points in 3 games this season.

    7. The Portland Trailblazers miss the playoffs.
