How Many Playoff Wins for the Blazers?

[e_blazer]

So, how many wins do you predict the Blazers will get in this year's playoffs before they go on summer vacation?

I'm going with 7.

 

[Natebishop3]

All of them.

 

[e_blazer]

All of them.

So, you're going with 16 wins then?

 

[BBert]

Blazers will win 16 games.

 

[e_blazer]

Blazers will win 16 games.

Love the optimism, BBert.

 

[riverman]

All of them

Sorry Nate, hadn't read your post when I echoed mine

The homer in me says six, my more cautious side says two.

Are you predicting we win the first round and get swept in the second?

I'm going with 11.

I'm going with 16.

If they win seven, that means we lost in the second round 4-3.

I say 16. Go big or go home.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I'm already on record with series wins over Houston and San Antonio, so I'll go with 9 wins.

Can't go full Mags.

 

[Strenuus]

Realistically? 3

Homerfied? 9

 

[blue9]

Two.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Thirteen.

 

[KingSpeed]

16 I hope. Gut says we won't beat Houston but once though.

 

[tlongII]

I predict 3.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

If I had to put money on it then I would bet 2 but I would hope to be wrong!

 

[OneLifeToLive]

2...

 

[BBert]

Is this like some reverse jinx thread?

 

[PDXFonz]

Please god let it be at least 3. Tired of these 4-2 exits.

 

[santeesioux]

2 wins.

 

[blue9]

Please god let it be at least 3. Tired of these 4-2 exits.

Would you rather 4-1?

 

[PDXFonz]

Would you rather 4-1?

Not really, but at least then we wouldn't be getting knocked out on our floor.

Yeah, that does suck to lose on your home floor.

The Rockets won against us in 6 games on their home floor. I'm hoping this series ends in 5 games on their floor.

I think people are really overestimating Dwights impact. This is not an Orlando Dwight anymore, he doesn't defend the pick and roll while also guarding the rim as he did in his prime. That Dwight was a one man defensive monster. This Dwight is a borderline all-star along with 10 or so big men in the game. LaMarcus can easily hold his own; but Lopez will destroy Terrance Jones.

Batum and Wes will be able to limit Harden from going wild. The more I think about this series the less worried I am. The 1st round streak will end this month at 14 years!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

10 wins.

 

[ripcityboy]

2 wins. And that's being nice.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Blazers will win 16 games.

FO', FO', FO', FO'!!

I find it odd that I agree with most of this, but still only see 2 wins for us.
I'm not "afraid" of HOU at all. I just don't have any confidence in our key players. Coaching will be a wash.
