I believe Rudy will be forgotten by the trade deadline. From our rookies Babbit, Johnson and Williams, I think Williams will earn the most rotation minutes while Babbitt will be seen as a wasted pick. I think Joel Przybilla will be playing basketball again, but with another team following the trade deadline. Roy will average 21 points, 4.7 assists and 5 rebounds. The Blazers who will be All-Stars will be Roy. Batum will average 31 minutes and 15 points with a 3pt % of 39%. Bayless will play mostly backup Shooting Guard position and average 16 minutes and 8 points and 3 assists. Wes Matthews will average 27 minutes and his signing will be considered average. The main backup SF will be Babbitt, then eventually Cunningham . Oden will play in 64 games this season and will average 29 min, 13 pts, 9 reb 1.7 blks. Camby will play in 69 games this season and will average 18 min, 7 pts, 7 reb 1.2 blks. Andre and Roy will do their best to co-exist and Andre and Oden will pleasantly gel. Aldridge will average 3 offensive rebounds and 5 defensive rebounds as well as 17 ppg. Andre will average 29 min, 13 pts and 6.5 ast with a 3pt% of 31%. The worst Free throw shooter to shoot at least 25 free throws will be Joel. The best free throw shooter will be Miller. The best 3pt shooter will be Batum. Cunningham will play mostly 3 position this season and will be thought of as valuable tweener. Pendergraph will play mostly 4 position this season and will be thought of mostly as a backup scrub 4. The biggest fan favorite will be Roy and the biggest scapegoat will be Bayless. My favorite will be Mattews and I will cringe whenever Babbitt takes the floor. Nate McMillan will finally coach the team to the 2nd round of the playoffs this season. As last year injuries defined the season, this year's depth will define the season. The biggest off-the-court news story will involve Oden.

The NW division order will be Denver, Portland, OKC, Utah and in last place Minny. The Blazers will finish 4th in the Western Conference. The Blazers regular season record will be 56-26. In the Playoffs, the Blazers will lose in the 2nd Round. The team that was not in the Playoffs last season that will be this year is Houston. The Rookie of the year will be Wall and the most improved player will be Westbrook. The "journalist" that will bug me the most will be Canzano.

My boldest prediction for this upcoming season is Oden will play relatively injury-free. I would also like to say Nate will get a lot of votes for COY.

I believe Rudy will be picking splinters out of his backside by the trade deadline. From our rookies Babbit, Johnson and Williams, I think none will earn the most rotation minutes while all will be seen as a wasted picks. I think Joel Przybilla will be playing basketball again at the YMCA in 3 years. Roy will average some points, less assists and even less rebounds. The Blazers who will be All-Stars will be Armon Johnson (in the D-League all-star game). Batum will average 30 minutes and 12 points with a 3pt % of 39%. Bayless will play mostly out of position and average -3 minutes and a bazillion points and 0.2 assists. Wes Matthews will average 2 minutes and his singing will be considered a little flat. The main backup SF will be LaMarcus Camby . Oden will play in 41 in-flight poker games this season and will average 48 min, 50 pts, 22 reb 6 blks. Camby will play in 28 in-flight poker games this season and will average 48 min, 50 pts, 22 reb 6 blks. Andre and Roy will fight over the ball and Andre and Oden will fight over the last in-flight hagen-daz. Aldridge will average 5 offensive rebounds and -2 defensive rebounds as well as 50 ppg. Andre will average 54 min, 50 pts and 22 ast with a 3pt% or no 3pt% at all. The worst Free throw shooter to shoot at least 25 free throws will be Steve Blake (trade deadline acquisition). The best free throw shooter will be Joel Przbilla. The best 3pt shooter will be Jeff Pendergraph. Cunningham will play mostly out of position this season and will be thought of as that guy with the funny missing toof. Pendergraph will play mostly 4 positions this season and will be thought of mostly as a point-center. The biggest fan favorite will be Luke "Jackson, White Dude" Babbit and the biggest scapegoat will be Rich Cho. My favorite will be Mocha Almond Fudge and I will cringe whenever Blaze takes the floor. Nate McMillan will slow the pace to a league record pace of 50 possessions per game and will prove that you can win games averaging 35 points per game this season. As last year injuries defined the season, this year halftime musical numbers will define the season. The biggest off-the-court news story will involve a picture of a player's junk.

The NW division order will be Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thunder and in last place KAAAHHHHN!!!. The Blazers will finish seventeenth in the Western Conference. The Blazers regular season record will be garbage. In the Playoffs, the Blazers will hold a pizza party and watch together at the practice facility. The team that was not in the Playoffs last season that will be this year is the Thunder. The Rookie of the year will be Kevin Durant and the most improved player will be Kevin Durant. The "journalist" that will bug me the most will be Paul Krugman.

My boldest prediction for this upcoming season is the Thunder will cure cancer. I would also like to say Go Thunder!!

I believe Rudy will Playing well for another team by the trade deadline. From our rookies Babbit, Johnson and Williams, I think None will earn the most rotation minutes while Williams Unless Bayless is traded will be seen as a wasted pick. I think Joel Przybilla will be playing basketball again For another team. Roy will average 22 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds. The Blazers who will be All-Stars will be Brandon Roy. Batum will average 30 minutes and 12 points with a 3pt % of 40. Bayless will play mostly 10 MPG as a 1 and 7 MPG as a 2 position and average 17 minutes and 9 points and 2.3 assists. Wes Matthews will average Dammit I forgot about Wes... 25 minutes and his signing will be considered Underrated. The main backup SF will be Matthews and Roy sliding over . Oden will play in 68 games this season and will average 27 min, 14 pts, 10 reb 2.7 blks. Camby will play in 74 games this season and will average 25 min, 7 pts, 8 reb 2 blks.

Andre will average 30 min, 14pts and 7 ast with a 3pt% of 9 The worst Free throw shooter to shoot at least 25 free throws will be Camby. The best free throw shooter will be . The best 3pt shooter will be Batum. Cunningham will play mostly PF position this season and will be thought of as A good future Roll Player. Pendergraph will play mostly PF position this season and will be thought of mostly as A fine 14th man with potential as a role player. The biggest fan favorite will be Batum and the biggest scapegoat will be The Vulcans. My favorite will be making the WCF's and I will cringe whenever Patty Mills? takes the floor. Nate McMillan will not renew his contract renewed after this season. As last year injuries defined the season, this year Showing the League we are here to stay will define the season. The biggest off-the-court news story will involve Dwight Jaynes.

The NW division order will be POR, OKC, DEN, UTA and in last place Kahn. The Blazers will finish 2nd in the Western Conference. The Blazers regular season record will be 55-27. In the Playoffs, the Blazers will Make the WCF this year. The team that was not in the Playoffs last season that will be this year is Houston. The Rookie of the year will be John Wall and the most improved player will be Oden. The "journalist" that will bug me the most will be IS Dwight Jaynes a journalist?

My boldest prediction for this upcoming season is Oden will lose his bust status. I would also like to say Mixum is almost back guys

[LameR]

IFrom our rookies Babbit, Johnson and Williams, I think Williams will earn the most rotation minutes while Babbitt will be seen as a wasted pick.

Bayless will play mostly backup Shooting Guard position and average 16 minutes and 8 points and 3 assists.

Wes Matthews will average 27 minutes and his signing will be considered average.

The main backup SF will be Babbitt, then eventually Cunningham

Andre will average 29 min, 13 pts and 6.5 ast with a 3pt% of 31%.

If Andre averages 29 min, and Bayless is mainly a backup shooting guard averaging 16 min, and Babbitt/CUnningham is the main backup SF (with Williams getting more mpg than Babbitt), then where do Matthews' minutes come from? Roy playing PG 19 mpg?

Time for a little prognosticating. Fill in the blanks and put on record your expectations for the season.
Trades may affect your response, but do your best.

I believe Rudy will traded by the trade deadline. From our rookies Babbit, Johnson and Williams, I think Babbit will earn the most rotation minutes while Williams will be seen as a wasted pick. I think Joel Przybilla will be playing basketball again after the allstar break. Roy will average 20 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds. The Blazers who will be All-Stars will be Oden & maybe Roy. Batum will average 30 minutes and 15 points with a 3pt % of .420. Bayless will play mostly PG position and average 20 minutes and 11 points and 3 assists. Wes Matthews will average 25 minutes and his signing will be considered genius. The main backup SF will be Matthews. Oden will play in 72 games this season and will average 28 min, 15 pts, 15 reb 3 blks. Camby will play in 65 games this season and OK I've already spent half my night getting this far and give up.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I believe Rudy will be happier on a new team by the trade deadline. From our rookies Babbit, Johnson and Williams, I think none will earn any rotation minutes while all will be seen (prematurely) as a wasted pick. I think Joel Przybilla will be playing basketball again by December. Roy will average 21 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. The Blazers who will be All-Stars will be none. Batum will average 28 minutes and 10 points with a 3pt % of 37. Bayless will play mostly PG and average 20 minutes and 7 points and 2.5 assists. Wes Matthews will average 25 minutes and his signing will be considered "meh". The main backup SF will be Matthews . Oden will play in 65 games this season and will average 28 min, 14 pts, 11 reb 3 blks. Camby will play in 70 games this season and will average 26 min, 8 pts, 9 reb 2 blks. Andre and Roy will coexist adequately and Andre and Oden will gel quickly. Aldridge will average 3 offensive rebounds and 5 defensive rebounds as well as 18 ppg. Andre will average 32 min, 14pts and 7 ast with a 3pt% of 22. The worst Free throw shooter to shoot at least 25 free throws will be Camby. The best free throw shooter will be Batum. The best 3pt shooter will be Matthews. Cunningham will play mostly PF this season and will be thought of as underutilized. Pendergraph will play mostly cheerleader this season and will be thought of mostly as a li'l bit crazy. The biggest fan favorite will be Babbitt and the biggest scapegoat will be Matthews. My favorite will be Batum and I will cringe whenever Bayless takes the floor. Nate McMillan will listen more to his assistants this season. As last year injuries defined the season, this year defense will define the season. The biggest off-the-court news story will involve Rich Cho's job performance.

The NW division order will be DEN, POR, OKC, UTAand in last place MIN. The Blazers will finish 4th in the Western Conference. The Blazers regular season record will be 52-30. In the Playoffs, the Blazers will win a series. The team that was not in the Playoffs last season that will be this year is Houston. The Rookie of the year will be Evan Turner and the most improved player will be Greg Oden. The "journalist" that will bug me the most will be Bill Simmons.

My boldest prediction for this upcoming season is Dwyane Wade will win MVP. I would also like to say Go Blazers!!!

 

[MrSelfDestruct]

I believe Rudy will be struggling on another team by the trade deadline. From our rookies Babbit, Johnson and Williams, I think no one will earn the most rotation minutes while they will be seen as a wasted pick. I think Joel Przybilla will be playing basketball again at a much lower level and on another team. Roy will average 20.5 points, 4.5 assists and 4 rebounds. The Blazers who will be All-Stars will be Roy. Batum will average 31minutes and 14 points with a 3pt % of .385. Bayless will play mostly backup PGposition and average 15 minutes and 8 points and 3 assists. Wes Matthews will average 28 minutes and his signing will be considered a good move based on fit. The main backup SF will be Matthews. Oden will play in 63 games this season and will average 28 min, 14.5 pts, 10 reb 2.1 blks. Camby will play in 65 games this season and will average 31 min, 7.5 pts, 10 reb 2 blks. Andre and Roy will co-exist better, but still not great and Andre and Oden will gel. Aldridge will average 2 offensive rebounds and 6 defensive rebounds as well as 18 ppg. Andre will average 31 min, 11 pts and 8 ast with a 3pt% or .240. The worst Free throw shooter to shoot at least 25 free throws will be Camby. The best free throw shooter will be Bayless. The best 3pt shooter will be Matthews. Cunningham will play mostly 3rd string PF position this season and will be thought of as a good insurance policy. Pendergraph will play mostly towel-waving position this season and will be thought of mostly as a cheerleader. The biggest fan favorite will be Brandon and the biggest scapegoat will be Nate. My favorite will be Nic and I will cringe whenever Pendergraph takes the floor. Nate McMillan will hopefully continue to shy away from his two-unit system this season. As last year injuries defined the season, this year the offensive system will define the season. The biggest off-the-court news story will involve whatever Quick chooses to over-exaggerate.

The NW division order will be Portland, OKC, Utah, Denver and in last place Minnesota. The Blazers will finish 3rd in the Western Conference. The Blazers regular season record will be 51-31. In the Playoffs, the Blazers will advance past the first round. The team that was not in the Playoffs last season that will be this year is LAC. The Rookie of the year will be Wall and the most improved player will be improved over last season. The "journalist" that will bug me the most will be Quickzano.

My boldest prediction for this upcoming season is it will be Nate's last in Portland. I would also like to say the season can't come soon enough.

 

[ABM]

If Andre averages 29 min, and Bayless is mainly a backup shooting guard averaging 16 min, and Babbitt/CUnningham is the main backup SF (with Williams getting more mpg than Babbitt), then where do Matthews' minutes come from? Roy playing PG 19 mpg?

Well, did I ever mention which teams Bayless and/or Miller would be playing for?

 

[Mediocre Man]

I believe Rudy will be in Texas by the trade deadline. From our rookies Babbit, Johnson and Williams, I think Williams will earn the most rotation minutes while any of our Euros will be seen as a wasted pick. I think Joel Przybilla will be playing basketball again in December, for a team in the midwest. Roy will average 24 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. The Blazers who will be All-Stars will be no one beause Roy will be hurt. Batum will average 25 minutes and 10 points with a 3pt % of 34%. Bayless will play mostly out of position and average 13 minutes and 8 points and 3 assists. Wes Matthews will average 30 minutes and his signing will be considered good. The main backup SF will be Matthews . Oden will play in 67 games this season and will average 24 min, 10 pts, 10 reb 2 blks. Camby will play in 53 games this season and will average 26 min, 9 pts, 13 reb, 3 blks. Andre and Roy will not play 1 second together this year and Andre and Oden will do the same. Aldridge will average 3 offensive rebounds and 5 defensive rebounds as well as 16 ppg. Andre will average 35 min, 16 pts and 8 ast with a 3pt% or 29%. The worst Free throw shooter to shoot at least 25 free throws will be Joel. The best free throw shooter will be Bayless. The best 3pt shooter will be Matthews. Cunningham will play mostly with himself position this season and will be thought of as the best young 11th man in league history. Pendergraph will play mostly cheerleader position this season and will be thought of mostly as salary filler. The biggest fan favorite will be Batum and the biggest scapegoat will be Roy. My favorite will be Oden and I will cringe whenever Nate takes the floor. Nate McMillan will get another free ride this season. As last year injuries defined the season, this year too many mediocre players will define the season. The biggest off-the-court news story will involve Paul Allen's illness.

The NW division order will be Den, OKC, Por, Uta and in last place Min. The Blazers will finish 7th in the Western Conference. The Blazers regular season record will be 49-33. In the Playoffs, the Blazers will lose in the first round again. The team that was not in the Playoffs last season that will be this year is Clippers. The Rookie of the year will be John Wall and the most improved player will be Johnny Flynn. The "journalist" that will bug me the most will be Jason Quick.

My boldest prediction for this upcoming season is the Blazers will miss the playoffs due to injuries. I would also like to say this team would be better without assclown.

Old timers should find my Oden stats familiar. I'm not being sarcastic though; I think those numbers are possible for him if the offense is right and he can stay on the court.
