That's overstating the case. Utah is the clear favorite, but they aren't immune to injuries

Of course...all things equal then its not even close...at best you will be within 5 games of them. FYI, in my predictions I have Jazz the #2 seed overall in WC.
 
I see the Blazers behind the Jazz by 3 games, having the Blazers sitting pretty at 48 wins!
 
50 wins even, second in division, seventh in conference.

See, you guys lose all credibility with me with predictions like this! You really think we are going to win more games then Utah?

" The Blazers beat Utah in three of the teams' four meetings last season.

"They were good last year, and they should be better this year," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "They beat us to death last year. They have a chance to be a terrific team this year." http://www.sportsline.com/nba/story/11061303


Yeah, Sloan has no credibility either. :gtfo:

We are not playing the Jazz 82 times my man.
 
I've been saying 54 wins since as far back as I can remember, so I'm not changing now.

And we'll be in the playoffs, somewhere in the 4th-6th range.
 
I've been saying 56 - 58 wins for months on that other forum. So, I'll stick to my guns and go high at 58 (but not be at all disappointed with "only" 56).

BNM
 
47 wins.

If we find consistent outside shooting early in the season, though, wow... Look out.
 
Okay, we're almost to the 24 game mark that was supposed to be abysmal for this young team.

I'm very optimistic that we can win our division. Now that it's been a month later, we're 12-6 through the first 20 and we've seen that Oden can play while healthy, what does everyone think?
 
I'll stick with my prediction of 55 wins. We might win more though.

55 seems more like an over/under then a predicted ceiling.

HCP... are you still looking down your nose?

STOMP
 
Before the season started I had us pegged at about 47 wins. The team has blown away my expectations. I think we are a better team than Utah and now will be really disappointed if we don't at least win 50 games.
 
I'm sticking to my 52 wins.

Waiting to hear HCP's prediction, though.
 
Wow! Wow! I stand corrected. I was wrong. These guys have played way above my expectations. The season is still young, but they are playing very well! I will say 52 is about right.
 
I'm thinking we handle these next 2, lose in Boston and then win @Toronto. What would that make us, 15-7! Wow!
 
I'm looking forward to that game in Boston. I would love to see KG get punked!

Remember all the shit he was talking to LA at the end of the game there last year?!?!?!? Hope Greg dunks on him!

national tv too, greg needs to dunk the ball so hard on kg that he breaks kgs wrist, then lands on ray allen, breaking RA's knee, only to break paul pierces will, with nothing but a steely glare.
 
C'mon HCP! Still time to jump on the 58 bandwagon!!
 
58 is a stretch. My 52 might even be. The same way we have been pulling out wins from the clutch of defeat, I'm sure we will give up a few we should have won. It's a LONG season, and we are so young. I'm pumped though!
 
OK, I've been moved off of my 46 win prediction ... I'm going all the way up to 50!! Pretty impressive eh?

I guess I was kind of right and kind of wrong. I might want to bump up my prediction to 50, given the tough schedule thus far. But I'll reserve judgment until this 5-gamer is over.
 
Before today's game Mike Barret said we were on pace for a 53 win season. I think we'll exceed that. This blazer team still isn't firing on all cylinders yet. Not even close.
 
This team is definitely capable of winning 55+ games. We're still really young though. I'm interested in seeing how we respond to the addition of Martell Webster.

Denver is playing really well though. Chauncey Billups' stock just went up quite a bit in my book. He has turned that team around.
 
As many Laker fans will tell you, Championships are won in June, not November.

As much as I hate KG's antics, I'm rooting for the Celtics to do well this year. The Celtics are the only team that can beat the Lakers, imo. Any other team in the finals, and it's another championship for the Lakers.

But right on with GO dunking all over the Celtics and KG.

In a 7 game series I don't think its inconceivable that the Blazers could beat the Lakers, especially if Oden keeps improving and everyone else stays healthy.

I agree. And I don't think the Celtics have a chance against the Lakers if Bynum is healthy.

Very few people are talking about the Blazers winning it all this year, we're just excited and a bit surprised at how well they're playing thus far.
