    I'm stealing this post from BBB.net, but this is the interesting:

    Percent of Season Completed: 24.39%

    Percent to 50 Wins: 28%

    Percent to 45 Wins: 31.11%

    Percent to 41 Wins: 35%

    On Pace for: 56 Wins

    Percent of Home Games Played: 17.07%

    Percent of Road Games Played: 31.71%

    A Look at Last Year: 8 - 12


    The Blazers are essentially 25% through the season, on pace for 56 wins and are already 35% to being 500 with only playing 17% of the home games. That's a lot of statistics, so read that sentence again. Now, let it sink in. That's pretty amazing stuff. In essence, the Blazers are off to a great start. I just thought I would share because I think it is pretty powerful and telling stuff.

    :cheers:

    I have to say that I am impressed with the record so far, the deck has been stacked against Portland for the start of the season, looking forward to more home game were we play pretty good! :D

    Good post. Some people just need a little perspective. I think anybody would've been happy before the season to see this team reach 50-plus wins and get back to the playoffs.
    Playoffs have always been the goal, and I think this team will do it. We probably aren't winning it all this year, but we are taking the baby steps toward it.
    Brandon's first year, we were respectable. Last year, we got to 41 wins. This year, 50 wins and playoffs. Next year, win a series or two.
