The Official Win Total Prediction Thread

[julius]

You can apply not thinking to most of your posts though right?

wouldn't have it any other way, junior.

 

[PDXFonz]

I'm not sure how many top tier free agents have signed elsewhere period. Shaq is the only one I can think of, but I haven't put much effort into thinking here.

Lebron James, Chris Paul.

 

[julius]

Lebron James, Chris Paul.

Chris Paul was traded, but you're right about LeBron.

 

[blue9]

Melo used his impending free agency to force a trade - I think that's essentially the same thing.
Harden and Howard (blech).
Chris Bosh.
Steve Nash.
LMA (hahahaha!).
Boozer (maybe more on a Monroe-level FA).

Right here, right now, how many games do your Portland Trailblazers win this season. No need to explain why, just give us your total.

So, New Orleans is the only team on this upcoming 5-gamer that you think the Blazers win? Or Orlando?

Watched Orlando play the Suns on our off night down in Phoenix last week. I was actually very impressed with their backcourt and team defense. I think Orlando will give us problems. Especially with their big white man they have in the post! So yes, I think we end the trip off with a W. Day off in NOLA to rest, I think will help us out.

 

[Denny Crane]

Blazers currently in 9th seed, 1.5 games behind 8th.

The Blazers would have to go 12-44 the rest of the way to match your prediction.

I don't think so.

They're a little bit ahead of where I thought they'd be. Just slightly. I thought they'd be at 11-19 after 30 games, and they're already 11-15. The next few are tough.

OKC
ORL
MIA
ATL

I could see us going 0-4, but out of those 4, I actually think MIA is the weakest.

I actually think the Hawks are beatable..they're not playing like they were last season. I think they miss Carrol more than they thought they would. getting a split on these four games would be great

Looking at this, we might get 3 out of 10. I like our chances against Minny, Phoenix, and the Knicks. The Bucks are another young team, but they've had more time to develop together. I don't think we beat the Thunder, Cleveland, Atlanta, or probably even Orlando. To be on the safe side I'll say 3 wins, which puts us at 11-19 on the season.

Next 10 are -

NOP
CLE
SAC
DEN
UTH
DEN
MEM
LAC
GSW
OKC

This is going to be a rough stretch. Very brutal scheduling. I think we could get wins against Denver at home and Sac. Historically we haven't done well in Denver, so that's probably a loss. We might be able to get one against New Orleans and Sac. I'm going to say 3/10 because I think we might steal a win against one of the contenders, whether it's Memphis, LAC, GS, or OKC. So our record at this point would be 14-26.

I was dead on about our record after 30 games. The next 10 are going to be really tough. I said we'd go 3 out of 10, and our record after 40 games will be 14-26. What do you guys think?

Great presumption on the 11-19. However I think we go 5-5 on the next ten.

Without Dame or CJ? With those guys I think we beat NOP for sure. Without them? I don't know.

@ NOP (W)
CLE (L)
@ SAC (L)
DEN (W)
@ UTH (L)
@ DEN (L)
MEM (L)
LAC (W)
GSW (L)
OKC (L)

That's how I think it will play out. Maybe. I guess it depends on who plays and who doesn't.

Yeah, I think Im kinda in denial about them not playing, but it sounds like tonight might be the last game. Either way they will go 9-1 on the next ten.

In all seriousness. I think we can beat Memphis at home, I think we beat Utah on the road and I think we hand Gs their second loss...no joke.

The two road games in Utah and Denver are going to be brutal. We never play well in those cities. Same with Sac. Not sure why we have trouble in Sac. The elevation in Denver makes sense (plus it's a back to back.)

Fine. Ill still consider it a win if we can hand GS thier second loss. Wait. NOt if. When.

I agree with all of these except the LAC win. Just want to hear you're reasoning behind that one.

Occasionally we surprise someone, and I think LAC will be the one. It's a crap shoot. Could be GS. Could be OKC. Hell, it could be Cleveland. I just think we're going to surprise one good team in this ten game clip.

82-0 in my heart.

27 wins in my head.

Pretty good. How are you feeling about yours?

Mine will be picking up momentum as we go...young guys with fresh legs 2nd half of the season...you'll see with your 20 game win (selling the team short) prediction....and I even tried to get you out of your bet with just the mags steak dinner? FAMS?
