    We have an extremely easy schedule from the start of the season through November (22 Games). Copy the list below and predict which games we'll win and lose:
    Oct. 18 at Phoenix
    Oct. 20 at Indiana
    Oct. 21 at Milwaukee
    Oct. 24 New Orleans
    Oct. 26 L.A. Clippers
    Oct. 28 Phoenix
    Oct. 30 Toronto
    Nov. 1 at Utah
    Nov. 2 L.A. Lakers
    Nov. 5 Oklahoma City
    Nov. 7 Memphis
    Nov. 10 Brooklyn
    Nov. 13 Denver
    Nov. 15 Orlando
    Nov. 17 at Sacramento
    Nov. 18 Sacramento
    Nov. 20 at Memphis
    Nov. 22 at Philadelphia
    Nov. 24 at Brooklyn
    Nov. 25 at Washington
    Nov. 27 at New York
    Nov. 30 Milwaukee
    __________________________
    Here's mine:
    Oct. 18 at Phoenix W
    Oct. 20 at Indiana W
    Oct. 21 at Milwaukee L
    Oct. 24 New Orleans W
    Oct. 26 L.A. Clippers W
    Oct. 28 Phoenix W
    Oct. 30 Toronto L
    Nov. 1 at Utah W
    Nov. 2 L.A. Lakers W
    Nov. 5 Oklahoma City L
    Nov. 7 Memphis W
    Nov. 10 Brooklyn W
    Nov. 13 Denver W
    Nov. 15 Orlando W
    Nov. 17 at Sacramento W
    Nov. 18 Sacramento W
    Nov. 20 at Memphis L
    Nov. 22 at Philadelphia W
    Nov. 24 at Brooklyn W
    Nov. 25 at Washington L
    Nov. 27 at New York W
    Nov. 30 Milwaukee W

    So I predict us to start 17-5. Not too crazy given how easy our schedule is to start. What do you think?

    12 home games (85% win rate), 10 away games (40% win rate). = 14.2 wins. Rounds up to 15-7 optimistically.

    Same as BonesJones. That really is an easy slate--so many home games and "easy" road games. Clippers at home, Nuggets at home and Jazz on the road are the main "W"s that I could see becoming "L"s, but I'd make Portland the favorite in all three.

    I learned my lesson last year. After making early predictions, and then having Uncle Festus be a no-show from day one (our season would have been SO different had he been healthy for it), I am gonna wait to do the poll. Bump it on Oct 17th please....:D

    You think we'd lose at Sacremento?

    I think we'll be 16-6 actually because we'll probably lose a game like that, it's just so hard to predict which game will be a total letdown haha.

    I will make my prediction later, as I believe there is a trade coming. Or so I'm told.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If they go 11-11 over the softest part of the schedule, you should be predicting well under 43 wins for the season. ;)

    I think Sac will be better than people think, and even if they're not, yes, I think we'll lose a game or two that we shouldn't.
