Schedule through all-star break

[PtldPlatypus]

Ok, so LA is out for 6-8 weeks, RoLo probably won't be back until after the all star break, and Freeland miggt be out tgat long too. We have 11 games between now and the break:

Today v Boston
1/24 v Washington
1/26 @ Brooklyn
1/28 @ Cleveland
1/30 @ Atlanta
1/31 @ Milwaukee
2/3 v Utah
2/5 v Phoenix
2/7 @ Dallas
2/8 @ Houston
2/11 v LA Lakers

I'm feeling very pessimistic right now, and I think I only see 4 wins in there, which would put us at 35-19.

 

[KingSpeed]

I see at least 7 wins. Would make us 38-16. Not bad.

 

[tlongII]

I see 11 wins.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I see 11 wins.

Yes, one team or the other will win all 11 games.

 

[tlongII]

Uh 10.

 

[KingSpeed]

6?

 

[BlazerBeav]

We just lost the easiest game on that list. Duck and cover, this could get really bad.

Refs stole that one from us IMO... 3 fucking steps??? How do you not see or care about that?

 

[illmatic99]

We're fucked

 

[ChadWick]

If Batum is out, Lillard slumping. I honestly think we're gonna be losing a lot more games than people think. This is not a good team with who we have left. Like not even a .500 team. It's going to get bad, please prove me wrong Blazers.

OT: Wassup with that Custom Avatar? I click the link and it's not working.

I disagree - it's easily a .500 team. We have guys who can put the ball through the hoop, and we have guys that can defend. We just need a decent game plan to utilize the players we have available to us.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I feel so defeated - a week and a half ago we were in 2nd with a 3-4 game cushion over the pack, rolling along - and now I'm trying to talk myself down off the ledge.

 

[Strenuus]

You know, at least there'd be a reason for the poor games... And not just because of a fundamental flaw in the system.

Thats my attempt at glass half full.

I'll give it a try too... they'll all be back by March with completely rested legs and will be peaking in April, May, and June?

How broken and battered will Damian and Wes end up?

I haven't posted in a long time. I used to have a thread for the link to make custom avatars/sigs; guess it got deleted. I need to edit my profile. I'm pretty decent at photoshop, and can still make a sig or avy.

But

This is also a concern.

Can you make a Sig with a red Jersied Damian Lillard with red writing that says "4-Point Play"

(Yes I did just invent the word Jersied)

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Think we go five and five..these guys will figure out how to play short handed..they have a bit of pride unlike some teams in the league.

I'm a pretty big homer but

Dame / Blake
Wes / CJ
Crabbe / Wright
Leonard / Claver
Robinson / Kaman

Is not a .500 team

 

[riverman]

Upside 40-14
Lowend 36-18

Dame & Wes will need to average around 35 points a piece for that team to be .500

Exactly. We're going to lose to any playoff team. And the bad teams we "should" beat, I can see us losing close games in the 4th QTR due to Wes and Lillard having nothing left in the tank at that point in the game.

You did forget Barton on that depth chart, though that changes nothing.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Looks like the Rockets are doing pretty good against the Suns to me.

then had to win at the buzzer....

 

[BigGameDamian]

Now the Rockets are only a game back.
