    I think your first 2 options are clearly not going to happen with this group though right?

    Who knows, that all depends on how well this new squad gels and how much our young players have developed, it really is too early to say playoffs or less than 20 wins though.

    You always play like you have chance to make the playoffs or you can play for ping pings balls like Philly has in the past years. Even if you come close reaching your goal you can take that into the next year. If you play to lose why even suit up for the game.

    Nobody said anything about not TRYING to win. Talent wins out.

    40 wins? Not even in the East my friend. Don't let your allegiance to our Blazers blind your common sense.

    We
    We do have talent the question is how long will take for them to gel together. There properly more talent on this team then last but there pretty young right now.

    So if we are going to win 40 games in the stacked West, how many games will the Warriors or Spurs or Clips win? 75?

    About the same has last year if they don't have injuries.

    We had talent but we weren't healthy, if we had been healthy who knows how many more wins we would have had?

    45 is my cap, that's best case scenario if all players play up to their potential.

    I understand that. But we won 51 games WITH injuries. You think LA/Batum/RoLo/Wes/Wright/Blake/Etc are only worth 6 wins?????

    If Leonard and CJ become immediate studs and Vonleh shows promise? Sure.

    Honestly Wes and Hendo aren't THAT far apart from each other from a talent standpoint imo.

    Plumlee is a better player than RoLo.

    Wright, Blake and AAA were all pretty disappointing anyway.

    Batum and LA will be hard to replace but it's not impossible.
