    Okay. Little earlier than I had said I would, but this should give more time for everyone to change their predictions 2189p375034985709857 times.

    I will only use one prediction from each person and I will only use the last prediction.

    For this seasons tiebreaker, we will go with CJ McCullom's 3pt% and for a tie breaker on that, include his total attempts. If CJ happens to be traded without enough data to use, we will move to another player at that time. If he is traded midway through the season or later we should have enough data to use. Which will make his total attempts pretty interesting.

    No more predictions will be allowed after tip off of the first regular season game on Oct. 29th.

    My prediction is:

    50-32, 41% shooting on 424 attempts


    GO!

    52-30, 40% on 435 attempts, assuming Blazers leadership is right about clearing out the paint and supplying more 3pt shooters.

    ???
    Id have to go back and check but I think last years winner is no longer on the forum and never redeemed their prize. I believe @Chris Craig was the runner up and the runner up will get the prize if it still goes unclaimed at the start of this coming season.

    Did I miss your prediction as a winner/runner up?

    CJ's gonna shoot lower than last year and the worst since his rookie year? That would be so disappointing and I doubt we'd get to 45 wins if that was the case.

    @Sweetriverphil was the winner, but has not claimed his prize.

    That puts @Trackjack (Why arent I able to tag him like Chris did?) as the runner up with the closest 3PT%.

    If @Sweetriverphil doesnt claim by opening night, and @Trackjack is no longer a member, then the next runner up would be @SIeepwalker and would be eligible for the prize.

    As compared to his 3p% from last year, that would be a difference of 1%; on 455 attempts (my prediction), that's basically a total difference of 5 fewer 3's made on the season, or a loss of 15 points. The team won 49 games with CJ shooting 39.7% from 3; no reason to think that 15 fewer total points scored would necessarily equate to 5+ fewer wins.

    I can never predict the team to lose.

    I always believe we will make all of our shots.

    And if we're going to make all of our shots then we need to shoot more.

    I say 48-36. But even a 50 win season will be a challenge to make the playoffs in the west this year.

    What I really want to know is how we convince the NBA to let us play 84 games this season.
