Canzano and Quick "Something is not right"

[MIXUM]

hasoos... give a prediction on wins and your expectations please

 

[MIXUM]

and if i win.... you can post i was owned by mixum. anyone else have the guts to take the challenge if im so wrong?

 

[XXPrimusXX]

As far as the Batum and Babbit predictions go, let's try to simplify it.

As in, where do you think Batum will rank in scoring average on the team?

And with Babbit, how many 15+ point games do you think he will have?

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

some predictions....

blazers get off to horrible start

What would you define as a horrible start?

oden doesnt play 30 games

Did you see his medical chart? I am going to take the over on this one

roy has a serious injury

Again, very vague. Can you define what you consider serious?

no major trades that improve us

Would last season's trade for Camby be considered major?

batum has best season of any blazer

Maybe, but the odds are not in his favor.

babbits shooting wins us at least 2 games

Bayless could have been credited with a couple of wins in both of his seasons and Martell had flashes. Not a very bold prediction.

blazers miss the playoffs

Vegas disagrees. How much are you going to wager?

How many of these predictions being wrong would be considered a failure?

 

[MIXUM]

dude read above.... im not going through it again

and primus... babit has at leats 2 games like that and batum has his best year yet. which means numbers go up in major areas like scroing steals rebounds etc.... i mean if he has like 3 of 5 thats included. but it cant be ft% or some stupid stats.... major stats

 

[Blazinaway]

they are tough predictions... i know. im sorry but this is my forecast. really think the blazers are in for a brutal season.

roys comments above confirm this

LOL a "brutal season", go back to bed, take two aspirin, and try to start the day again

 

[Blazinaway]

sit back and watch what i said come true.

Like I said before, if someone throws out enough enough crap something might eventually stick, deleted.

Ok. I'll settle for 3 15+ games and, and a career high in 3 of 5 major statistics: points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. (I actually hope you're right about this one.) Haha.

Sound like a deal?

 

[MIXUM]

yeah... i hope i lose

 

[XXPrimusXX]

yeah... i hope i lose

Don't worry, you will.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

if im wrong about 4 of 7...... i will post mixum was 100% wrong about the 2010-2011 season as my sig for a year

now i will clearify the predictions....

horrible start... after 20 games the blazers are at or under 10 wins

This is not a horrible start. It is an average start.

roy misses 20 + games with same injury or a nagging one

I would classify a major injury as something like Joel or Greg experienced. Ok with this definition though.

no major trades that drastically IMPROVE us. example... miller, pryz, 1st rounder for devin harris. thats a big trade

Not many teams make blockbusters. No matter the trade, this definition would remain very debatable.

batums numbers increase across board or at least a career year

A serious departure from your claim that he would have the best season on the team.

blazers miss playoffs

Very quantifiable. How much are you going to wager?

babbit makes some big shots to win us a few games or has 15+

LA is going to score 15+ just about every game. Is that winning the game for us?

oden is a slam dunk not to play 30....

so theres your bet...

Very lame bet as well.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

1. Blazers get off to horrible start this season (.500 or sub .500 after 20 games).

2. Greg Oden doesn't play in more than 30 games.

3. Brandon Roy misses 20+ games with the same injury.

4. A big trade does not take place that drastically improves the team.

5. Nicholas Batum averages career high's in 3 of the 5 major statistical categories (Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals and Blocks).

6. Luke Babbit scores 15+ points in 3 wins this season. (Non-garbage time.)

7. The Portland Trailblazers miss the playoffs.


If MIXUM is wrong about 4 out of the 7 predictions above, he will post: "MIXUM was 100% wrong about the 2010-2011 season." as his signature for a year starting from the end of the regular season.

If by some act of god he is correct about these predictions, I will post: "I was OWN'd by MIXUM." as my signature for a year starting from the end of the regular season.

Pretty straight forward.

I thought he said Roy had to miss 20+ to the same injury, and Babbitt's scoring would win us games so his 15+ should come in meaningful minutes in actual wins.

Other than that I like your odds

He is letting MIXUM backtrack in a major way from his original claims.

You're right, I changed it to be more specific to the original guidelines.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

It's ok. He will still lose. I'm not the least bit worried.

 

[Jayps15]

Yea odds are in your favor, even letting him back way off his ridiculously stupid Batum claim only gives him 1 pretty sure fire get while I see at least 3 that are almost locks in your favor.

 

[The Professional Fan]

posting a not so friendly blazer article = attack mode

i dont know why those 3 - 4 guys cant put me on ignore? then they complain. they read my posts. it is really hard to figure out. over 1500 views where i imagine at least 200 came from them.

PLEASE PUT ME ON IGNORE!

6:59am, Today, Mixum notices the thread he started became civil. Prior to the civility, he had poured gasoline all over the thread, lit a match, and walked away. Never to be heard from. Hilarious. Every thing you'll ever need to know about Mix, you can find right here, in this thread. Brilliant!

We should just change the title to: MIXUM: "Something is not right."

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

1. Blazers get off to horrible start this season (.500 or sub .500 after 20 games).

I disagree with .500 being a horrible start, but ok.

2. Greg Oden doesn't play in more than 30 games.

3. Brandon Roy misses 20+ games with an injury.

4. A big trade does not take place that drastically improves the team.

There should be a vote on what classifies as a major trade. I would say last year's Camby trade was huge.

5. Nicholas Batum averages career high's in 3 of the 5 major statistical categories (Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals and Blocks).

Should be changed to Batum will have the highest win shares on the team. I have little doubt Batum's numbers will increase.

6. Luke Babbit scores 15+ points in 3 games this season.

7. The Portland Trailblazers miss the playoffs.

Via the expectations for this season, sub .500 after 20 games would be a pretty abysmal start for this team.

Any trade that improves the team is a major trade in my estimation. The way he worded it makes it hardly a bold prediction, I know.

I say if ANY of the starters are moved this season, that is a major trade.

As far as Batum goes, I have faith that his numbers will go up exponentially, but I'm not so sure he will have career high's in 3 of those 5 categories. I know it's shying away from the original premise of his prediction, but I'm not really concerned about it.

 

[hasoos]

hasoos... give a prediction on wins and your expectations please

As on the other thread, 54 wins, 5th seed, one and done in the playoffs.

Any trade that improves the team is a major trade in my estimation. The way he worded it makes it hardly a bold prediction, I know.

I say if ANY of the starters are moved this season, that is a major trade.

I would say make a list of players that if moved would automatically constitute a major trade.

My list: Camby, LA, Batum, Roy, Miller, Rudy, Wes, Oden Joel

I would also say firing Nate or packaging a group of assets would also qualify.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

So here is what I propose as terms for each of the 7 predictions.

1. Blazers get off to horrible start this season (.500 or sub .500 after 20 games).

2. Greg Oden doesn't play in more than 30 games.

3. Brandon Roy misses 20+ games with an injury.

4. Blazers do not make a major trade. Major trade qualifies as Camby, LA, Batum, Roy, Miller, Rudy, Wes, Oden, or Joel traded, Nate fired (New coach must make playoffs), or a package of players/picks not including Mills, Johnson, Cunningham, or Oberto.

5. Nicholas Batum has the highest win shares on the team.

6. Luke Babbit scores 15+ points in 3 games this season.

7. The Portland Trailblazers miss the playoffs.

I say that when 4 come to fruition, the wager becomes due and is in effect until the end of the next regular season, and has more teeth depending on how many are correct/wrong. Will put correct in blue, wrong in red.

4
Same terms already agreed on.

5,6, or 7

Loser has sig of "I am no better than Mike Barrett or HCP. Just a blind HOMER." along with repping MAXIM plus no complaining in any of his threads

MIXUM has sig of "I am a Canzano wannabe and was dead wrong about the 2010-11 season along with being limited to one thread and 10 posts per week.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

And if there is a lockout, until the end of the next season that is played.

 

[BGrantFan]

As on the other thread, 54 wins, 5th seed, one and done in the playoffs.

54 wins = 5th seed? I just don't see it. The West will be lucky to have the top seed win 55 games, if only because the Lakers are going to sleepwalk through much of the regular season and still win 55.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

To make it more likely to be agreed upon

People willing to make the bet with MAXIM on the terms I layed out:

1. Me

 

[KingSpeed]

Something not right?

 

[MickZagger]

Something just isn't right.

 

[Natebishop3]

I'll tell you what's not right..... Quick and Canzano.
