Seems about what you'd expect. I think that they have Dallas and Phoenix too high and the Blazers a couple of games too low.
 
Thats about right. Exactly what I picked for last season.
I will also go with a first round exit out of the playoffs.

i mean, we won 42 last year with ten fewer games played. I think all the win totals are a bit deflated, but hard to argue with an 7-8 seed slotted for the play-in with our current roster construction.

Like I said, I don't have a real problem with that line of thinking going into the season. I do think that the current Blazers roster has more in them than they're going to get credit for. It's going to be trendy to talk smack about how they did nothing, but with health, a new coach, and the elimination of two huge defensive sieves from the bench, I think they will surprise some people.

I confused about one thing though. Everybody on here said the Lakers were going to suck this season.

Weren't they projected to win more than that last season?
 
I think Portland is too low. And I know Kawhi is out but the Clippers seem low as well

Dallas even with Warriors and above Denver looks loopy, but I don't know how long Murray will be out

Portland is a little low. The Clippers were still good without Kawhi. But, I think that number is in the ballpark.

Dallas seems high.

Warriors seems high too. Klay will be back in December, but will he be the same player? Can Wiseman stay healthy? They brought back Iguodala and have a good balance of youth and veteran leadership. But, how will it all fit?

Denver has proven they can win without Murray in the regular season. Murray probably won't be back till late in the season. But, they can still get the Ws with Jokic kicking some ass.
 
This is wildly unpredictable because I still think there is a chance that Neil makes a big move that would change things. I also think there is a great chance that if we lose the vast majority of our games against actual contenders and/or winning teams during the first couple months of the season that Dame will ask out before the trade deadline.

So if the roster remains the same as it is now, throughout the season, I would imagine that teams would start to really take advantage of our lack of size 1-3 like Denver did and we'll be what we were last season. A team with high level offense and low level defense and a team struggling to stay out of the play-ins. So we'll probably get 46 wins and end up in sixth or seventh seed. We'll likely go out in the first round or get swept out of the second

If , God forbid, an injury happens to the Blazers starting 5. This is a 50 win team on the low side, if they stay healthy. Doubting Dame again.

When was the last time we made it through a season without a key player injured? That, however, is not all.

A) Zeller is (imho) a downgrade over Kanter.
B) We still lack a size at forward and are likely to get brutalized on the boards.
C) The Dame/CJ backcourt will remain a major handicap on defense.
 
I put them 36-44 wins next year but this is just my thought about this roster right now. It might change after I look at them closer.
 
54.....every year I predict 54....this is my lucky season...can feel a long overdue win coming...
