    It's still a 41 win pace. But i do agree the schedule makes it worthy.

    Ah, exactly what I was waiting for! The king of calling out hypothetical opinions before they happen!

    Olshey gets a pass. He made the right moves, and sometimes the right moves dont pan out.

    How about calling for a new coach at 0-0? Is that better?

    Is that the best you can do @BonesJones? I expect more from you - like the hypothetical trade the high-priced guy for the up-and-comer that will be on a rookie contract! Yes! Now is the time to trade Dame for a chance to draft LaMelo!

    I, in response to your ridiculous hypothetical trade, would state that LaMelo is overrated AND Dad comes along with him - Please no! Not to mention that trading Dame is to trade the heart-and-soul of the team and that by merely suggesting such an idea you should be stoned for blasphemy!

    Shun the unbeliever!

    Here is a fantastic video by @BonesJones breaking down the early schedule and it's impact on the rest of the season.

    It will happen and in the case of 0-0 on the coach it already has. Not so sure how you would call this "Hypothetical".

    The most exciting part is drafting Meyers in the first round in fantasy and reaping the inevitable rewards

    Well i guess so if you have to pay to be on the podcast? I would think you would pay people to be part of it? But yes You Tube is quite a bit out of my element.

    Yeah, lets just open up guest appearances to all 2,320 of my subscribers. And pay them! Haha. Makes sense.

    Rip City Radio should pay all their listeners to appear on their shows.

    And while were at it, the Blazers should pay me to go to their games!

    Nice concept and video. Should have calculated standard deviation, though - it's 5.2.

    So, 50 +/- 5.2 wins. Of course, you assuming they win 50, so the 5.2 is more relevant than the 50. This isn't the most comforting, it's saying we'll win somewhere between 45 and 55 wins. This agrees with my sentiment about the season - anything can happen, injuries will be a big factor in the West.
