I have gone over the whole schedule and have us winning 51 games. How many wins do you count? What's your prediction.
I think 46 is a legit prediction. It's more than the so called experts are giving us. Do you think the 46 wins gets us into the playoffs?
There will be an official win loss prediction thread i will create on the first game of preseason. The cut off for entry will be tip off of the first regular season game. I track it and update it for all. Plus, you dont want to make your predictions too early. Trust me. Preseason injuries, rookie letdowns, etc will influence you as training camp and preseason is going.
Oh. Let me add, there is a prize for the winner. You will also need to predict thier position in their division. Then there is a tie breaker and that will be... how many 3pt shots cj makes and his 3pt percentage.

No matter the reason, it still goes down as a disappointing offseason on the heels of a(nother) disappointing playoff collapse. "GM Neil Olshey let Shabazz Napier and Pat Connaughton walk for minimum deals, opting to replace them with Seth Curry (fine, but a health risk) and Nik Stauskas (inexplicable)," Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes wrote. "Meanwhile, the roster's most glaring void, forward depth, went unaddressed." Portland's primary investments went to scoring guards (which it already had too many of) and Jusuf Nurkic (who seemingly plateaued last season). It isn't clear if the newcomers can play with both Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, or even if that backcourt has a long-term future in the Northwest. It's hard to see how the Blazers got any better, which is worrisome for two reasons. Their swift playoff exit suggests this club played above its head as the No. 3 seed. Also, the Blazers were closer to the conference's midsection than that seed suggests (three more wins than No. 9), and almost everyone behind them improved in some way.
I get that they probably didn’t get much better if at all, but I don’t get why these “journalist types”, think they got 7!!!! Games worse... Dames still there, Nurkic is young and got better every month last year. The only two teams that really improved beneath them are the Lakers and the spurs (because Kawhi didn’t play last year). I mean who knows maybe they get worse, but literally if one or two of those young guys become solid additions to the rotation or better. I think Houston will come down to the pack after losing their forwards. They don’t have a ton of front court depth either now.
It's not a formal game or anything, I was just wondering what everyone's estimates were right now. We've watched SL and seen the rest of our off season moves, so what do you think at this point? Just for fun.
I know we are better than what everyone is predicting. I don't need to post like crazy and fight these guys. I know what I know.
