    given health to all...

    1 Rockets
    2 Thunder... Russell Westbrook?
    3 Spurs... Duncan's troublesome feet finally were right again last year
    4 Warriors... a fully mended Bogut would make them really tough
    5 Blazers... bench should be much improved with CJ, Robinson, & a year of seasoning for last year's 4 rooks
    6 Clippers... leftover Laker star power void/BS calls could push them up

    Why would you put the Blazers behind the beaten and depleated Lakers?

    I don't see PDX getting past 8th without a real center. And I couldn't decide who should go 7, so I figured the Lakers would figure out some way to make the playoffs.

    With Utah and Denver taking some serious steps back, and Dallas not making any real progress, I could see Lakers sneaking in as well.

    The only teams out West that are definitely better than the Blazers are the Spurs, Rockets, and Thunder. There is no reason we can't fight for #4 seed. None at all. The team to watch this year is the Pelicans. They are putting together a very nice team that will compete.

    And GS and the Clips and Houston...

    Two rookies, two wash-ups and Robin Lopez doesn't net us 20 more wins than we had last season.

    Well since we tanked the last 15 games: I'm sure we can pick up 20 easily.

    One thing to remember: the Blazers of course tanked at the end of the season - so the total number of losses may seem amplified, but the Blazers were also surprisingly good at home during the early-middle part of the season. If the Blazers can click like they did last December and January, for even longer (even if it's only at home), Portland could be looking at a #5 or #6 seed. But that's a lot to ask. Crappy teams like New Orleans and Minnesota have gotten better, and even the good teams that appear to be backsliding (Denver, Lakers, Dallas, Jazz) haven't fully fallen into mediocrity.

    Nice bump for a completely baseless prediction

    Baseless? I said we'd pick up 20 more wins. So far, we are on pace to pick up 30! Hahaha.

    I'm not saying you may be wrong. I am saying it was a baseless prediction.

    No, I had in another thread, explaining why I thought we would pick up 20 games after most of you guys called me out on it. I think even Denny called me out as well!
