    What do you think the Blazers record will be over the last 12 games?

    I'm predicting 2-10

    If the Blazers can win the next 3, which is doable if they stop allowing layups and play aggressive defense, 6 wins and 6 losses is my guess.

    Let's hope for playing fresh players to keep defense, rebounding, and off-ball movement at up tempo to get the 6 wins.

    Whatever win total means us ending up in 10th place... that.

    3-9 or 4-8....they will surprise us with an unexpected win or two.

    At this point, it is more important how they play vs if they win. These last two games feel different.
    More aggressive D, which seems to catch the refs by surprise as well. And much better at sharing the ball.
    Less stupid turnovers, and better at finding the open man.

    No Jones, No Little and No problem

    The way injuries are lately, teams like Utah, Denver, and Phoenix won’t be playing their stars. Nets don’t have Harden. Celtics have been godawful, just lost to a Thunder team that is trying to lose. Blazers will crush Spurs and Cavs. Trae Young is out. Who knows when LeBron will be back. 8-2 seems doable.
