The bold, outlandish and downright crazy predictions thread

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Okay. This is for the fantasy types who feel there is a fringe of reality.
I know this is a crazy take but i think we make the playoffs this year.

Shae gets most improved player award.
Scoot ROTY
Grant and Ayton mesh well with one making the all star game.
Simons balls out with elite shooting.

i think all of these happen and we make the playoffs and become the team of the future.

whats your crazy take?

 

[maxiep]

I don't think anything crazy or outlandish will happen this year.

I think it will be a year of spectacular individual game performances that demonstrate the potential of our youngsters.

I think this team will look amazing one night, and garbage the next. Beating the Nuggets on the road, then losing to Orlando at home.

I think Anfernee will be frustrated because he'll want to score 25+ppg and Chauncey won't give him enough minutes.

I think the roster will be shaken to its core by midseason moves, and a third of the players who started the season with us will end it elsewhere.

I furthermore think the roster at the end of the trade deadline will be less talented and younger than it is now. That we will continue to stock assets.

I think we get bigger and more athletic after the trade deadline.

I think the mantra preached by everyone from the Blazers will be "patience".

I think this is Chauncey's last year as our coach, and it won't be his fault. He's no longer a fit for what we want from this team. He'll be wildly successful at his next stop.

Scoot ROTC? Is that supposed to be "Rookie of the Century"? Or are you suggesting that he's joining the Reserve Officers Training Corps?

 

[BassPlaya]

I am going to finally figure out and understand women....completely.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

My crazy prediction would be that Ayton is featured offensively to the point that he becomes an all-star.

hahaha reserves man. Reserves. Hes a soldier!!!!

I mean, there's crazy, and then there's crazy. That would be the second one.

Okay. When you do you had BEST share the knowledge. Trust me, speaking for all males. If you do, we will worship you and make you King of all the lands!!!

[lawai'a]

crazy? chauncey fired during the break and udonis haslem replaces.

 

[HailBlazers]

DOMINAYTON becomes an All Star

 

[Voodoo]

Crazy? I think that the blazers gel and play better than anyone would ever expect, win 50+ games, make the playoffs, and Billups is award COTY.

 

[OneSport3]

Ant will be the MIP.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Here's my crazy prediction: Scoot won't be a starter at the beginning of the season, but will be by the end.

 

[riverman]

54 wins and we lose to the Bucks in game 7 in the finals in triple overtime with Dame hitting the winner from 50 ft at the buzzer. Nobody out crazy’s the river man!!!!

 

[Natebishop3]

Scoot will win ROY if they start him.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Ayton has career ending injury

@SlyPokerDog ban this man and delete this thread so that it no longer exists on the internet.

Scoot will be injured the entire season until Dame is found guilty of witchcraft while on a roadtrip to Boston, where Jrue Holiday will later perform an exorcism on Scoot, freeing him from the curse of the 0.

 

[blazerkor]

My outlandish prediction is that we don't start Scoot or Shaedon to start the season and that we hover around just under .500 starting Brogdon, Ant, Matisse, Jerami and Ayton. Then we trade every starter but Ayton by the trade deadline and go even younger. We finish the season with just over 30 wins but our very young team shows a ton of promise even while losing.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Shaedon gets deported back to Canada for his terroristic dunks on poor unsuspecting American basketball players.

 

[bemac]

Toumani Camara emerges as a legit two-way starter by the second half of the season

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Scoot will be injured the entire season until Dame is found guilty of witchcraft while on a roadtrip to Boston, where Jrue Holiday will later perform an exorcism on Scoot, freeing him from the curse of the 0.

That one is impressive.

DOMINAYTON becomes an All Star

Get him 18 shots a game and he has a good chance.

His True Shooting percentage for 2020-21 and 2021-22 was higher than Dames' career high last season.

He'll have no problem exceeding Lauri Markannen's rebounds per game. Markannan became an All Star from a 37-win team.

Wow.

 

[blazerfan11]

After making the All Star squad, DA legally changes his name to Domin'Ayton.

54 wins and we lose to the Bucks in game 7 in the finals in triple overtime with Dame hitting the winner from 50 ft at the buzzer. Nobody out crazy’s the river man!!!!

The knock on Ayton is that he only shoots when it's an easy score. He's more LaMarcus than Shaq. He's a comfortable mid-range scorer, but not the outside threat Lauri is.

This is honestly what I'm hoping for. Not THAT crazy...
