2019-20 Blazers Schedule.....

[BonesJones]

Their numbers assume static rosters and do not evaluate things like:

- Injuries, there are always injuries each year that wildly swing projections.
- Player movement - you can't predict this, and it changes a team's outlook during the season
- Post all-star break team goals. A lot of bad teams win more games at the beginning of the season when playoffs are still in reach. Once teams start facing the reality of missing the playoffs there is a shift in strategy for many teams (tanking).
- Schedule plays a big part in overall records by the end of the year. Playing OKC at the beginning of the year versus end of the year is a completely different matchup.

Still doesnt excuse always underrating us. Thats all in-season stuff.

- Zach Collins blowing up.

- Anfernee Simons blowing up.

- @THE HCP underestimation factor. If he’s going with 45 wins, you can bet on #55WinsFAMS.

I just noticed we have a 12:30 pm PST home game against the Rockets on ABC on March 15th. I can't think of the last time we were on ABC during the regular season. It might be over 10-15 years ago. The only ones I can think of at all were Game 1 vs Warriors in 2017 and Game 7 vs Nuggets in 2019. But regular season game? Those have been usually reserved for Knicks, Heat, Cavs, Warriors, Thunder, Celtics. Does anyone remember the last national network game we had in regular season at home? I know we had a Game 6 vs Lakers in 2000 but that was NBC back then.

I remember another one. It was NBC but it was the game when Kerr played for us and everyone threw their Bill Walton dolls on the court. It was against the Lakers. Lots of technicals. We won. Double overtime, I think. Bonzi Wells was on fire. That would've been around 2002.
