It’s a “prediction game” and until my opinion has been changed (like an acquisition of a caliber forward) I think Neil has saddled us with less a team than last year. My prediction is that we will be out rebounded in each of our first 18 games.

Last year I predicted 18-0 and was hopeful. I’m not as hopeful with this group - sorry. I’ve been a Blazer fanatic since attending my first game with my Dad back in 1974. I was present in the Memorial Colliseum in 1977 for every playoff game including game 6 and in fact have the jersey of Bobby Gross that he wore in the Championship game 6 - he finished runner up to Walton for Finals MVP for those that didn’t know.

I predict a loss to the purple and piss because I’m simply not convinced. I will however cheer for the Blazers and I will hope to see Dame and CJ both score 50....but I think Lebron will score big tonight namely because we don’t have a forward that can stop him.

Go Blazers!

Dames set a new career high on the day they honor Allen.

The Purple and Piss go back to HeLA with their tails between their legs.

Its going to be a fast pace big scoring game.

As I said in the other thread... the Blazers will win. The only question is if the media will even notice.

[Hoopguru]

Dame will go with Purple shoes tonight!

And such posts should be preceded with “I am a loser with no faith in the Blazers so I am predicting them to lose as follows:”

Of course, that would mean I would be so labeled at some point as I don’t always predict a Blazer victory.

Blazers win 107-99, in the most annoying home atmosphere since the Warriors became a great team.
