    2017-2018 OFFICIAL WIN/LOSS PREDICTIONS!!!!!!
    .................................................................................................................................................................................



    After 72 games into the schedule the Blazers currently sit 44-28, 16 games above .500 and 3rd Place in the Western Conference. A 13 game win streak has propelled us into the national media talks about being a dark horse spoiler and potential contender, sitting just a tier below the two top dogs, GSW and HOU. It is becoming clear that with some more internal growth and a move or two for one more play maker, vet role player, we might just put us on that same tier.

    With 10 games remaining, the Blazers will likely need to win 6 games to keep this 3 seed spot. If we could go 6-4 the rest of the way, we would finish the season with 50 wins. This looked like an easier feat a week ago, but looks to be trying, as we have just lost two in a row at home against contenders.

    Let's take a look at who we have left....

    Tonight we play OKC
    , we have owned them this year, but they don't want to be swept and are fighting for position themselves... and it's at their house. This will be a very tough game. If we want to show the rest of the West that we can beat them in the first round, we will need to take some road games coming up, so to me, this is a must win for confidence factors. A three game losing streak can quickly snowball if we don't pull this one out.

    Sunday we play the Pelicans, who just got smoked by Houston themselves. Another must win to show the teams below us, they are not on our level.

    Then we have 4 winnable games against the Clips, Mavs and Griz x 2 over the next week, but that's where it ends. It is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE, we take 3 of these four games if not all four if we want to hold on to the 3rd seed.

    The last 4 games are against playoff teams or teams fighting at the doorstep. Houston, Spurs, Nuggets and we end the season against the Jazz, who look like they might be on our heels by then. Our seeding may just come down to this game!!!


    ........................................................................................................................................................


    NOW, on to who's hot and who's not (don't let the red fool you) ;).....





    Black.........Still in the unknown category. Could win or lose (but odds are getting slim)
    Green........Currently holds/is close to the winning prediction (Or on the predictive path to win)
    Red...........Has lost (better scouting next time)

    What's even more relevant is, assuming the Blazers make the playoffs and the Clippers don't, Portland will be tied with Toronto for the fourth longest active playoff streak at 5 seasons. ATL (10 seasons) and MEM (7 seasons) have already had their strings of consecutive playoff appearance snapped.

    NO. I don't click on anything that has a screenshot highlight of the Fakers. I think you meant that for someone else around here.

    I'll miss on that MIP prediction, but I was pretty close on the rest of it. Word.

    2017-2018 OFFICIAL WIN/LOSS PREDICTIONS!!!!!!
    .................................................................................................................................................................................

    Well, playing down to opponents has poked its ugly head once again it seems. We still need to figure out how to close games regardless of the refs.

    With one game left, its a virtual must win. Not only to get that three seed, but for the mindset of the team. We cant back into the playoffs on a losing streak. This team is still too young.

    ........................................................................................................................................................


    NOW, on to who's hot and who's not (don't let the red fool you) ;).....


    We are down to two people who can win this thing!!!!!



    Black.........Still in the unknown category. Could win or lose (but odds are getting slim)
    Green........Currently holds/is close to the winning prediction (Or on the predictive path to win)
    Red...........Has lost (better scouting next time)
