    :dunno: All depends on how long Nurk is out or less than 100%. The odds are very high that we will no longer have Kanter as a safety net. (and no, a handful of good games doesn't change my opinion on Leonard)

    wow, what a worthless poll as nobody even knows who is going to be on any teams roster.

    If Nurk is out half the season, that win total looks about right

    Last year with nurk you gave them 40 wins. ;), Pepperidge farms remembers.

    It'll be really interesting to see what they do at Center next year and this summer. Do they just let ML and Zach have those minutes until Nurk comes back, do they try to get a big who can be serviceable as a starter (either keeping kanter or trying to find someone else).

    Glad we don't have to make predictions for a few months. :)

    So they didn't just make the WCF without him? Sure, they will miss him a lot but they could still be a good team. A 45 win team doesn't beat OKC and Denver this year.

    Guys really stepped up, Kanter especially. That’s why with he, Hood and Curry most likely gone, I think we win around 45 games.

    Next season we start Meyers at Center (as in WCF Game 4) and Zach at Forward featuring the high post, enhanced PNRs and PNPs, improved passing and ball movement, 15 swish3s per game scoring, and have a 54-28 season record on the way to the 2020 NBA Championship!

    Please tell me #5 should be Shaq, not Shaw? I don't remember Brian Shaw being a big time scorer...

    And then AD and his agent forced his way to LA, so it's fucked again!

    Past history indicates that we are fine with a 54 win season (a new Blazer record) which will be at least a 3 or 4 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs, on the way to winning the 2020 NBA Championship!
