Do you guys think 52 is possible? It's a stretch but i think it could happen?

13-5 over the last 18? Does seem like a stretch

they can't boot any more games away like the Memphis game. They have to win all the gimme games; I count 8. Then, just go 5-5 in those more 'evenly' matched games. Or 6-4 if they do blow one of the gimme's. It's do-able, but it's a challenge

tomorrow night's game against OKC is a critical game, even though the tiebreaker is already settled. A 4/5 matchup against OKC would be scary if OKC had HCA. I don't think Denver will fade enough for Portland to catch them, & Houston sure looks like they are getting into the super-team mode they had last year

5-5 in the more evenly matched? Weve just Gone 6-2 on the road for 7 against 2 contends and 3 other evenly matched teams.

I wanna hear what games are "evenly matched".

I'm sorry BJ but it's almost like you spend a lot of time just looking for an argument with somebody about something

in this case, you ignored what I said. That being that there were about 8 games on the schedule that were "gimme's"...games that Portland should win, and the rest of the games were "more evenly matched". Do you see the connection there?? Apparently not, so I'll explain it: 8 easy games and 10 games more evenly matched than the 8 easy games. It was pretty obvious what I was saying

in other words, the home game against Phoenix is a gimme. The home game against Indiana, and the road games against New Orleans, and Minnesota, and Denver are examples of the more evenly matched. The last game against Memphis showed what can happen, even in games Portland should win, let alone against teams that can actually put up a fight

I was also responding to a question about hitting the 52 win mark. That was the context of my suggestion that 5-5 in those tougher games would get Portland to 52 wins if they won all the easy games. It was about how to get there, not if they would or wouldn't.
 
Will people be fine with 3-5 finish or will it be the end of the world?

It would be nice to get 50 wins but then I have to be realistic that I don't see it. I had predicted 46 wins but now and I hated to say it I am more in line where HCP is on his win total. Due to I don't see no identity how they really want to play. Sometimes they play with good movement and other night the play a lot iso ball with the guards. The defense scheme just plains sucks for this team. If your not getting anything from the bench your not going to win very many games or if you are barely winning then over using your starters then that will catch up with you sooner or later.

Well we beat 46 wins

Stupid post.

How? I said people would be happier if we were playing at a 50 win pace, and at the time, people were unhappy with us playing at a 33-win pace over the last 15 games. What part of that was stupid?
 
Imagine if everyone brought up Kingspeed's terrible predictions. "Golden State might miss the playoffs"... yeah, no.

We are going to have way more than 32 losses. You can’t extrapolate using the hot start.

Where are you getting 50 wins from? We are on pace for 45-46 wins and that includes being 10-3.

Stupid thread. If we were playing at a 50-win pace the tone would be different. Were playing at a 33-win pace over our last 15 games.

I think most of us would be good with a 50 win season, but it doesnt look like (right now) its going to be a 50 win season... Thats why they play the games though.

To reach your goal of 50-32, we would need to go 31-17 the rest of the season. If you consider that even remotely possible - I just don't know what to say. The way they are currently playing, 24-24 would be optimistic.

Not only remotely possible but done and then some.

(52 wins) is my best guess as to what will happen.

I am pleased to be wrong. We won't be losing 32 games.

Sorry but no fucking way are you getting away with that.
My post was asking about 52 wins.
It was posted on March 6th for crying out loud.
Try to keep up here.

yeah, I agree

in a forum where one of the most common things done is to make guesses on the future, trying to gouge people for wrong guesses seems petty
 
I said 46 and certain part of the season I didn't think we get that but I been wrong before I love to be wrong in situations like this one.
