<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Vintage:</div><div class="quote_post">Portland: 47-25, 7th seed</div> Thats only 70 games. You mean 47-35. I say 48-36. 7th seed. <font color="blue">Thanks..........Vintage</font>
I dont tihnk the team record will depend on Sabonis. I think they will get around 40-45 wins. Lets not forgot, they are pippenless.
It's hard to predict now, they should make an offseason move some time soon. But I'd say 43-39. They are without Pippen, there's bound to be some suspensions and things like that and having a weedaholic at the point wont help. Will be lucky to reach the playoffs. They have the talent but need to keep the team together the whole season. Easier said than done for Portland.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Depth:</div><div class="quote_post">Around 39-43 8th place. There not what they used to be, they"ve gone way downhill.</div> 39-43 will not be 8th seed. Blazers will win 45-50 games (assuming they win some road games). They'll make the playoffs but probably get knocked out early.
That doesn't look to be very possible now. I say a late season charge gets them to 42-40 but they still fall short.
