Im thinking 6 & 4

Yes, I would be happy with that. It is another tough stretch.

 

[PDXFonz]

 

[PDXFonz]

8-2 is possible

But I’ll say 7-3; starting with 3-0 at home

Followed by perhaps our first back to back loss of the season

 

[Haakzilla]

5-5

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Gonna go with 5-5. That is very optimistic IMO.
3-1 at home and 2-4 on the road.
They have a stupid 4 on the road one at home and then the 2nd of a B2B on the road followed by another tough Utah game on the road.
This stretch absolutely sucks.

 

[Cugel]

7-3
MIL
CLE
split with UTA

This is ridiculous.
Check out January's schedule. They're home almost the entire month!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

11-0

Does our schedule ever get easier? I haven't had a chance to look it up, but it seems like we're only playing playoff bound teams all year.

 

[blazerfan11]

Hard to guess anything without knowing who's playing.

 

[SIeepwalker]

let's go 7-3 !

Go look if you want.

in feb/march or so. Need to basically tread water until then

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I predict that the team will win some games, lose others, play hard-nosed defense, attack the rim, not quit even when behind, and I will enjoy their style of play regardless of the results.

 

[blazerfan11]

When the team gets completely healthy I expect them to go on a long win streak.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

8-2 at worst but I won’t cry myself to sleep if it’s 6-4.

5-5 is optimistic? There’s no way we play that badly. Milwaukee is the only team with a better record than us and we play them on the road where we are dominant this year.

Ok

 

[blazerkor]

Despite their record I don't think Utah is that great. Milwaukee is the only team I see as being better than ours. If Kawhi is playing the Clippers will be a real test. We're better than the rest of those teams. We'll probably beat a team that's better than us and lose to one or two that are worse, depending on how many of our starters we sit.

So 7-3 but 9-1 if it were a single game elimination situation or I guess 3-1 unless there were a third place bracket and then it's back to 9-1.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

If they split the next 10 they will be sitting at 14-9 after 20 games. That to me would be a very successful start to a season.

[Fairly-Hard]

I read that again. In what world does 14-9 equal 20?
That was a bit early on that post!

They go through a stretch later in the year that is mostly made up of teams that were expected to be chasing Viktor. The trip depends on some health. They have so many guys dinged up, who knows what might happen. There are some tough teams in this stretch and there are some metrics that say Portland is playing over their skis a bit. 6-4 doesn't seem unreasonable. Anything more is gravy.

If they split the next 10 they will be sitting at 14-9 after 20 games. That to me would be a very successful start to a season.

Is this where I ask for my tax money back that went towards education?
