    I think that bet would be aimed at the many people who think we will only have 20 to 30 wins on the season. If people are confident of that number then they definitely wouldn't think we will have 20 wins by the all-star break.

    I'm almost convinced . . . Something very special about this team, no doubt about it.

    I agree this team as currently constructed is better with CJ than with "Post-Injury Maxed Out Wes".

    Drummond has absolutely exploded since Monroe left. He might be another hickson

    I still give the team around 30 wins. I'm not changing my prediction. It's a long 82 game season and we are not even 10 games in.

    SO in agreeance with you. It's fun to watch, but also, a wait-and-see approach is not a bad thing.

    It's weird at how hard Mediocre Man is working to make sure that he is only happy when the Blazers lose.

    You thought we would beat the Grizzlies (who normally have our number regardless) on the 2nd night of a back to back?

    I picked 33 and I not ready to budge it either but Grizzlies were definitely one of the losses in my book. Surprised if you say otherwise.

    I thought we'd blow them out because we are going to be a beast at home this season and the Grizz lost to Warriors by 50.

    Originally I did not pick us to beat them. I thought we'd get wins against NOP, MIN, PHX (once), Utah, and Denver. I thought we'd get at least one win off Phoenix.

    After we lost both games to Phoenix, I posted on Tuesday that Memphis looks like ass so far this season, so that we might get one off them since we also play them on the 13th. We're actually pretty close to where I thought we'd be in the first ten games. I had us down for losses to SAS, Detroit, Phoenix (once), and Memphis twice. So far we've lost to Phoenix twice. I think the Spurs might get us, but they've been playing pretty shitty as well. Detroit is tough. That's going to be a war.

    I see Detroit as an easy win. San Antonio too because it's at home. The 4 game road trip will be challenging but we should be able to split it.

    You see Detroit as an easy win? You mean the Detroit that just handily beat the Suns on their floor? The team that beat us twice in two nights? The team that's 4-1? That Detroit?

    That's because it's not about the team, or the game; it's about him being right when other fans on the forum are wrong. And that means he has to be happy when they lose; it's the only time the fans are wrong.

    Drummond is beasting.
