    19-25 now. Need to go 17-21 the rest of the way to make me right. They'll probably need to win 6 of 7 on this homestand in order to make that a realistic possibility. I have them winning just 3 of their next 15 after that.

    I had 33. I think they win 32 to 34 looking at the schedule now so I think I will be pretty dang close.

    I had 37, right now (19-25)... we're on pace for ~35 (which I've said before is probably most likely); I'm STILL sticking w/ 37 :hcp:bc I believe our guys can do it!:smiley-yippee:

    I think we're going to do what the Jazz did last year with a young roster...win more games in the second half than the first...sticking with 43 but originally I thought that would put us at 10-11 seed in the west...now, it'll get you in the playoffs in the west.

    2 wins, 33 losses the rest of the way and you're spot on.

    I think when the Blazers win their 24th game, HCP should have to change his sig to read, "Sent from a sorry-ass fan.........FAMS", for the rest of the season.

    I said 35, which would mean going 14-21 the rest of the way after last night's win over the Kings. Given how tough the schedule is after the All-Star break, that could still turn out right, but I'm hoping for closer to 40 wins. I think the last 4 games before the break will tell a lot about this team's chances going forward. Toronto (H), Houston (A), Memphis (A), and Houston (H) are all against playoff teams. If the Blazers can't win at least two of those, they're not likely to make the playoffs, IMO.

    35 would be within 3 wins of the 32 that I predicted, so I don't think that would be at all unreasonable.

    42 for me. 4 games over the rest of the way and I'm good.

    It's crazy, we can legitimately lose the next five games.

    The interesting thing to me about these win prediction threads is that the pessimists are always much more confident than the optimists*, and the pessimists have been mostly wrong dating back to, probably, that 21 win season.

    After you filter out the idiots on both ends, the stubborn confidence of pessimists and tendency toward accuracy of optimists is a trend I see in all sorts of aspects of my life. In the face of uncertainty, fear is always more convincing than hope. But it shouldn't be.

    (*Excluding Speed, of course, whose wild optimism is kind of an outlier.)

    I think my prediction was somewhere between pessimism and optimism. I think we'll still be pretty close to the 32 wins that I predicted. Probably a little more like 35ish.
