    We have the deepest team we've had in over a decade. We can handle injuries. Even if Lillard went down, we have the depth in CJ to weather the storm.

    If we lose any player at any position, I don't think there is much drop off to the guy who would replace him. We're deep as fuck.

    Its a long season and while the New Orleans game looked promising, I don't think I want to change my prediction. They could get more comfortable and win a higher # than my prediction, and I think Henderson returning will have a more positive impact than some might feel...and two games against Phoenix is just a small sample size, but its not that they're losing, it's how they're losing.

    So I'm sticking with 22.

    Sorry Spam, but it appears 21+ might be closer to the mark.

    I thought 32 before camp. Felt encouraged on us going over after the preseason but stayed at 32. Now I'm concerned there's a chance we could be under; like way under. I'll stick with my number though.

    Reading this thread I am surprised the number of people that had us near .500. Do they honestly believe that or are they just predicting what they hope will happen? I thought it may be possible to be near .500 if we had some lucky breaks, if young guys improve more than we expect, if other teams had injuries and we do not. But that's a lot of ifs and certainly not an average outcome I'd expect. Just as likely we barely get 20 wins.

    If the Blazers bomb over the next 5 games it'll basically end any chance of being .500 in my mind. We haven't played any of the good teams and have multiple brutal road trips. Now is the time to stack up some wins if we're going to be respectable.

    I'm sticking with 35. Solidly out of the playoffs, but they'll show some spunk throughout the season.

    Throughout the summer my realistic guess was 27 wins, with a best-case scenario of 40ish wins. When this thread got made I was riding high on "Oh Boy The Season Is About To Start", so I went best-case. After seeing a few games I'm reminded of why I don't like Terry Stotts, and I think we'll hit closer to 27 than 37 (which is what I think my "official" guess was).
