Game Thread The Official 2018-2019 Regular Season Prediction Thread

[Orion Bailey]

Okay. Little earlier than I had said I would, but this should give more time for everyone to change their predictions 2189p375034985709857 times.

I will only use one prediction from each person and I will only use the last prediction.

For this seasons tiebreaker, we will go with CJ McCullom's 3pt% and for a tie breaker on that, include his total attempts. If CJ happens to be traded without enough data to use, we will move to another player at that time. If he is traded midway through the season or later we should have enough data to use. Which will make his total attempts pretty interesting.

No more predictions will be allowed after tip off of the first regular season game on Oct. 29th.

My prediction is:

50-32, 41% shooting on 424 attempts


GO!

 

[Reep]

52-30, 40% on 435 attempts, assuming Blazers leadership is right about clearing out the paint and supplying more 3pt shooters.

 

[SIeepwalker]

I've got it right last year, let's run it back

50-32; 41% 440 attemps

Id have to go back and check but I think last years winner is no longer on the forum and never redeemed their prize. I believe @Chris Craig was the runner up and the runner up will get the prize if it still goes unclaimed at the start of this coming season.

Did I miss your prediction as a winner/runner up?

@Sweetriverphil was the winner.

With 49-33, 208 threes made

@SIeepwalker had 49-33 202 39%

@Trackjack had 49-33 202 38%

I had 50-32 232 threes

Actual #s

49-33
227 threes
36%

 

[PtldPlatypus]

45-37, 38.7% on 455 attempts

 

[Chris Craig]

53-29 42% on 452 attempts

CJ's gonna shoot lower than last year and the worst since his rookie year? That would be so disappointing and I doubt we'd get to 45 wins if that was the case.

@Sweetriverphil was the winner, but has not claimed his prize.

That puts @Trackjack (Why arent I able to tag him like Chris did?) as the runner up with the closest 3PT%.

If @Sweetriverphil doesnt claim by opening night, and @Trackjack is no longer a member, then the next runner up would be @SIeepwalker and would be eligible for the prize.

As compared to his 3p% from last year, that would be a difference of 1%; on 455 attempts (my prediction), that's basically a total difference of 5 fewer 3's made on the season, or a loss of 15 points. The team won 49 games with CJ shooting 39.7% from 3; no reason to think that 15 fewer total points scored would necessarily equate to 5+ fewer wins.

Give us your guess? thats all it is.

and he might make the All Star Team too!

This is the year he's going to put his signature on the team!

 

[Hoopguru]

Geez...where are all the 33 some wins and 40 some loss's?

I guess they don't want to be recognized!
Cowards! lol jk

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I can never predict the team to lose.

I always believe we will make all of our shots.

And if we're going to make all of our shots then we need to shoot more.

 

[tlongII]

47-35

 

[BigGameDamian]

I say 48-36. But even a 50 win season will be a challenge to make the playoffs in the west this year.

What I really want to know is how we convince the NBA to let us play 84 games this season.

 

[James lamphear]

I will say 46 wins 39 percent 470 attempts .

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

44 wins, 280 attempts 42%

 

[Chris Craig]

CJ's gonna shoot lower than last year and the worst since his rookie year? That would be so disappointing and I doubt we'd get to 45 wins if that was the case.

I think he will attempt less, with Curry, Stauskus, Trent JR taking threes. His percentage will therefore likely be higher

 

[RickyJoe]

45-37 40.1% on 202 attempts

 

[Chris Craig]

45-37 40.1% on 202 attempts

Only 202 attempts?

Wow! Just 40 wins?!? According to you this season is going to be really rough. Here's to hoping you're wrong.

To be fair he’s been really consistent about the 40 wins basically all summer.

 

[blazerkor]

To be fair he’s been really consistent about the 40 wins basically all summer.

His consistency doesn't change the fact that it's a very bleak outlook for our team. I mean nine less wins would be devastating. If we're on pace for 40 at the trade deadline, I would expect some big trades.
