What Will the Blazers Record be by the All-Star Game?

[KingSpeed]

21-27, 3 game win streak, and a win against the 27-21 Grizzlies.

Next game is the Warriors. A win will be HUGE, getting us to 5 games under .500.

Stotts' lineup adjustment, Turner and Vonleh in as starters, is paying off.

Yep. Having both Turner and Plumlee as ball handlers in the starting line up makes things so much easier for Dame & CJ. We're becoming very tough to guard. And we're getting more for our money with Turner starting.

I like planned chaos.

After tonight's win, the Blazers are at 15-21 and in the 10th spot in the West. Here's their schedule prior to the All-Star Break. What do you think their record will be at the end of this stretch?

Wed, Jan 4 @ Golden State
Thu, Jan 5 vs Los Angeles
Sat, Jan 7 vs Detroit
Tue, Jan 10 @ Los Angeles
Wed, Jan 11 vs Cleveland
Fri, Jan 13 vs Orlando
Mon, Jan 16 @ Washington
Wed, Jan 18 @ Charlotte
Fri, Jan 20 @ Philadelphia
Sat, Jan 21 @ Boston
Wed, Jan 25 vs Los Angeles

I think they'll go 13-6 in that stretch and be at 28-27 by the All-Star Game.

Feb 1 game not on the schedule! haha

You mean Jan 31st?

 

[illmatic99]

You mean Jan 31st?

Yes. Oops

 

[e_blazer]

Yes. Oops

Ad my oops in there too. Not sure how that happened.

 

[e_blazer]

The original post has been corrected to add the Charlotte game on Jan. 31st that was missed. As of today, the record is 7-7 for the listed games.

12-7 for a 27-28 record

Dammit, @e_blazer I was going off the schedule you provided in the initial post of this thread. So with that Charlotte game added, that would make my guess 28-28...though it will probably be 27-29, but being an optimist and Im going with .500 at the break.

Thanks. I was wondering how I'd gotten the wrong number of games in my guesstimate. Not my fault. As usual.

Your continued perfection is still in operation, BBert. Fortunately, I don't carry that same burden.

At this point, .500 at the break looks pretty good. Obviously, the team was not ready for the return to winning ways that I had hoped for.

Current Record: 22-28

Fri, Feb 3 vs Dallas
Sun, Feb 5 @ Oklahoma City
Tue, Feb 7 @ Dallas
Thu, Feb 9 vs Boston
Mon, Feb 13 vs Atlanta
Wed, Feb 15 @ Utah

I'm looking for 2 different milestones:
1) get to .500
2) get to positive +/-

We will achieve neither by the break. Let's go Blazers!

Portland currently has a -2.2 ppg differential over 50 games. They have been outscored by 110 points over the season. To get a positive +/-, they would need to win each of those 6 games by over 18 points each. I doubt they sweep that schedule to get to 0.500, but I know they will not get to a positive +/-.

I am looking forward to some time in the future, after the break, when we achieve those things.

Sorry - a little dyslexia going on. Read it "will we" instead of "we will".

So you don't disagree that a .500 record at the break would be pretty good then.

4-1 our last 5 games. The only loss to the Warriors.

 

[Blazer_Steve]

I say 3 and 3 going into all star break which would be 25 and 31

PERCENTAGE CHANCE TO WIN EACH:

Fri, Feb 3 vs Dallas 80%
Sun, Feb 5 @ Oklahoma City - 40%
Tue, Feb 7 @ Dallas - 70%
Thu, Feb 9 vs Boston - 45%
Mon, Feb 13 vs Atlanta - 50%
Wed, Feb 15 @ Utah - 35%

In 3 Simulations (Random Numbers Picked between 1-100), we went 2-4 (24-32), 5-1 (27-29), and 4-2 (26-30)

My best guess is we finish 4-2 and go 26-30 before the break.

For over a month while we were "rock bottom" as the thread title said, we were still one win ahead of last season. Now that we feel better because we've gotten used to it...we are 2 wins behind last season.
