Forum Game Down the stretch they go!

What do you think the Blazers record will be over the last 12 games?

I'm predicting 2-10

 

[Mr. Robot]

hopefully 0-12

 

[Titan]

Tank!

 

[calvin natt]

3-9

 

[Cugel]

1-11

 

[SlyPokerDog]

12-0!

If the Blazers can win the next 3, which is doable if they stop allowing layups and play aggressive defense, 6 wins and 6 losses is my guess.

Let's hope for playing fresh players to keep defense, rebounding, and off-ball movement at up tempo to get the 6 wins.

 

[stampedehero]

Five wins out of twelve.

 

[tester551]

5-7
Wins versus Pacers, Hawks, Cavs, Rockets, & Nuggets

 

[James lamphear]

5-7 sound about right.

Wow. Cavs and Rockets I'll give you.

 

[Tince]

4-8

 

[Titan]

OP already has 2-10 and I agree with that.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Whatever win total means us ending up in 10th place... that.

 

[TBpup]

3-9 or 4-8....they will surprise us with an unexpected win or two.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

12-0!

Heh heh!

 

[Blazer509]

Odamn. That’s a curveball...

At this point, it is more important how they play vs if they win. These last two games feel different.
More aggressive D, which seems to catch the refs by surprise as well. And much better at sharing the ball.
Less stupid turnovers, and better at finding the open man.

No Jones, No Little and No problem

The way injuries are lately, teams like Utah, Denver, and Phoenix won’t be playing their stars. Nets don’t have Harden. Celtics have been godawful, just lost to a Thunder team that is trying to lose. Blazers will crush Spurs and Cavs. Trae Young is out. Who knows when LeBron will be back. 8-2 seems doable.

We played well against Denver and Clippers too. The ending was a coin flip. The only truly bad game lately was the Hornets one and we lost by 8.

I don't know much about this team anymore. They seem to be just unprofessional.
I believe people can change. If Dame will finally put team success over his ego MVP and Stotts stops drinking and can be a coach for these boys, let's go.

Honestly, with the injuries and the teams locking in resting their stars, I could see Portland going 9-3. And I'd go into the playoffs expecting to get swept in the first round.

Does anybody at this point feel confident we pull off more than 2 wins in the first round?

I do. #EnoughIsEnough

Here's a more specific question:

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Dallas really does have a ridiculously easy schedule, although the Wizards game is a lot harder than it would've looked a month ago.

Blazers/Lakers next Friday should be INTENSE. Lakers will have played the Clippers the previous night.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

12-0!

*Cough cough*

 

[SlyPokerDog]

12-0!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I thought we had the tiebreaker over one of them?


I guess the problem is that the Mavs have it over the Lakers? If the Lakers have it over us, how is it decided, and why are we the ones who'll get screwed?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

*Cough cough*

You're a third right - that's better than normal!
