And seriously, if we want to get and hold 3rd seed we'll kind of have to.

Right now the three seed is playing at a 48 win level. So 12-8 could do it but I don't see us losing 8 games. We should be good.
 
I don't see them loosing anytime soon. We'll finish the season strong and go deep in yhe playoffs! The momentum is building for us to have an upset in the west!

I can see this team going all the way! We should stake out the parade route on where to stabd for the championship!
 
I think we'll probably end up just short of 50... I'll say 48. The NBA is unpredictable and I don't want to get my hopes too high... Lord knows the Blazers have brought me back down to earth before.

Nevertheless, looooove the way we've (and by we've I mean "the man with the big... guts" Damian lillard) been playing recently!
 
If you play the ‘schedule game’ and count the wins, it’s possible. But they gotta stay hot for a good while.
Being a long time Blazer fan... I expect a couple inexplicable losses and see us around 47 wins and either the 4th or 5th seed.

Slacker. I already have my camping chair set up on the curb.
 
Here’s how I see it going the rest of the way......
I say 9-11 which would give us 45 wins. That’s a damn good season with the talent we have. Who knows what seed that will be as crazy as the standings are right now. Could be 5th, could be 9th!

Not a chance. Our calendar towards the end of season is absolutely brutal. 47 wins would be amazing from here.

It's what I have been aiming for in my 2K Start Today mode where I picked up the team from before the Kings game. Currently sitting at 42-31 so I might actually get to 48 wins.

Well good thing you always sell short, so I expect 48 wins.

You think that were playing at a level where we'd lose 5 straight? Seriously?

Check my post right above yours.
 
3/3 vs. OKC - W
Theyre coming off a B2B, we've had their number.
3/5 @ LAL - W
Gonna be a harder game than people think, they've been playing well
3/6 vs. NYK - W
Not a good team without Porzingas. Should be an easy win
3/9 vs. GSW - L
I think this is very winnable. We're coming off 3 days of rest, they're playing a traveling, 2nd night of a B2B, and we've shown we can beat them at home.
3/12 vs. MIA - W
Miami's been struggling lately, and we will have played only 1 game in the previous 5 nights.
3/15 vs. CLE - W
We've beaten Cleveland at home the past two years, and they aren't improved after the deadline. Only 2 games in the previous 8 days. They have the same record as us as well. Therefore, I think this is a win.
3/17 vs. DET - W
We're better, and will get revenge on our previous loss to them.
3/18 @ LAC - L
Tough game. I think we'll win one out of three in terms of this game and the two games following.
3/20 vs. HOU - L
Tough team, tough game.
3/23 vs. BOS - W
Boston hasn't played as well lately as earlier in the season, and we'll be looking for revenge after losing to them on a buzzer beater earlier in the season. Seems exactly like the game we'd win which we shouldnt.
3/25 @ OKC - L
Very hard to sweep all 4 games against a team like this.
3/27 @ NOP - W
They've been hot but played a very easy schedule lately. That includes SAS who didnt Gasol, Kawhi, or Aldridge (for most of the game). Tough game but I think we'll take care of it.
3/28 @ MEM - W
Trap game. Gotta stay sharp.
3/30 vs. LAC - W
We're better than them, so a home win makes sense.
4/1 vs. MEM - W
Trap game, this team is hopefully past letdowns against bad teams.
4/3 @ DAL - W
Easiest game remaining on our schedule against the "tanking" Mavericks.
4/5 @ HOU - L
Tough game. Would be a huge win.
4/7 @ SAS - L
Could be the game that wins or loses HCA for us.
4/9 @ DEN - W
We'll either beat DEN, HOU, or SAS on this trip. Denver is most likely.
4/11 vs. UTA - W
Solid win to close out the season.

That's 14-6 to finish the season, and 50 wins.
I expect anywhere between 48-50.

Ehh I wouldn't say there's no chance. Unlikely but possible.
 
49 wins, a first round curb stomping of the Wolves, and a 4-2 loss to GS in the second round, book it.

Not at all unreasonable. I would differ from you on the home games against OKC and Cleveland, and on the game @ LAC. But that 5 game losing streak you have in there is definitely a possibility.
 
I been saying 48 since the beginning. Lets hope that happens.
By the way. HCP has his predictions but they don't really make sense IMO. Even more so when he actually understands travel. The Golden State game in the second of a B2B for them on Three days rest for the Blazers. I got that as a possible win. Then he has a loss in Cleveland that the Blazers can get due to their schedule also. Then he has the Blazers losing at the Clippers. Has anyone actually watched the way the Clippers are playing now?
The rest is a toss up? Any given team on any given night can take a game.
 
I think they finish around 48-49 wins. There are just so many Playoff teams they go up against the rest of the way. Also, in 20 games, the Blazers have shown that they could easily lose a game they should win and also win some games they aren't favored in so tough to pin down.

Thunder x2
Rockets x2
Clippers x2
Warriors
Cavs
Celtics
Pelicans
Spurs
Nuggets
Jazz

7 games at home, 6 on the road against tough teams. It's pretty easy to find 4-5 losses on the road and 3-4 losses at home. They have been playing better at home of late but not against this time of competition on such a regular basis. That would also require them to go 7-0 against everyone else which should be doable but they almost lost to PHX the other night except Dame turned into Superman.
