    Really? You can't understand why Blazer fans in a Blazer forum would predict that their team will win?

    Btw, there is a full on homer standings part that you can only be in if you never pick against the Blazers.

    It's just a game.

    I am not aware of the “Homer standings”. Hence why it doesn’t make sense that people pick Portland 82 times a year.

    A lot of people never pick against their team. It doesn't mean they don't think they will lose.

    Last year if you predicted the Blazers to win every game you would've gone 53-29 in the regular season.

    I don't get why you have to come into this thread and say anything at all if you're going to be like this.

    I just said I didn’t understand it. It’s a prediction thread where everyone predicts they’ll win every game. Seems odd is all. (And it is)

    It is kind of funny, I’ll give you that, we all predict in another thread they’ll lose like 30ish games, but then here we predict they’ll win every game, it seems were confused. :)

    You get ranked based on how close to the final score you were, if you had the correct margin of victory, and there are also side games for the biggest contributor and how close you were to contribution points, and for who was the closest to predicting the amount of starter and bench points.

    It's not a super serious thing man. Several people picked the Clippers to win so you're exaggerating that "everyone" does it. Plus this year the winner gets some baked goods from @crandc.

    I said 99%. I’m certain if you went through every game it’s close to that. Again, I just said I didn’t understand it. If this was a true prediction game - like you were betting on it - it wouldn’t be the same. It just seems like a bunch of Blazer fans afraid to predict their team will lose which is fine.

    "Lou Williams made a go-ahead jumper with 58 seconds left, then added a 3-pointer and finished with 26 points to lift Los Angeles over the Trail Blazers 107-101 on Thursday for coach Doc Rivers' 900th career victory.' Source/MSN sports
