Must win game

Can’t start the season off cold. Need to be on it out of the gate. Hopefully they didn’t take preseason seriously and we see a different team. Otherwise we may be in for a long season.

@SAC
PHX
@LAL
DEN
MIA
HOU
MEM

@MIA

Need to be 6-4 in our first 10, worst case scenario. 3/4 against PHX in the first 10 games.

Big games to start the season. Can’t overlook needing to win tie-breaker scenarios which starts by beating Sacramento on Wednesday.

1-9…….2-8
 
This was kinda my point about us using the pick this season. This rookie isn’t going to help Dame get to that next level anytime soon. Hoping we all look at things realistic before we MELTDOWN in these games threads. Because if you are going into those games EXPECTING a W….ouch.
 
The most interesting games will be Sactown and Houston. Those are the only games out of the 10 where the Blazers won't be clear underdogs. If the Blazers look bad in those 2 games....:grim:

6-4! We’ll be lucky to be 4-6. I’d be happy to be proven wrong though.
 
It's going to be an ugly start to the season with this stretch of games.
 
The NBA is trying to force Dame to ask for a trade. :stirthepot:

Hundreds of variables being considered in making the schedule, I doubt what happens to Dame is a priority to whomever makes them

Don’t you honestly at least expect to beat HOU at home, win 1/2 against MIA, 1/3 against PHX, and then win 1 of the games against SAC/DEN/LAL/MEM?

I don’t think that’s too much to ask for, and at 4-6 I would wish we’d won more of those.

I mean of course you don’t think the blazers will beat your pride and joy LAL…

4-6 or 5-5 is my prediction, but I’m hoping for 6-4 or better. And no I won’t be surprised if we go 4-6 but I would be shocked if we went 1-9!!!
 
yeah. it's a wicked schedule, and it's not just the first 10 games that are brutal, it's the first 23 games, and 14 of those are on the road. Blazers could play better than many expect and still be something like 9-14 or 8-15
Or we could handle business and already be in a fantastic position in the post season race only 23 games into the season!
 
Gonna stick with the first 20 to see where this team is. 10-10 and I'm going to be ecstatic!
5-15 then I'm looking for huge changes or a Tank driver!
They ain't coming back from 10 games under .500
