With 8 games remaining....

[BoomChakaLaka]

How do we finish?


I'd be really happy going 5-3. My fear is that we go 3-5.

New Orleans (Road) = W
OKC (Home) = L
Dallas (Home) = L
Golden State (Home) = W
Utah (Road) = W
Lakers (Home) = L
Memphis (Home) = L
Golden State (Road) = L

8th Seed: Lakers (because I think LA may catch San Antonio) But I'd love to start with San Antonio.


Weigh in!

It's hard to tell, we could win all those games, but we could also lose all of those games but 1.

I say 5-3 or 6-2 to finish.

New Orleans (Road) = L
OKC (Home) = W
Dallas (Home) = W
Golden State (Home) = W
Utah (Road) = L
Lakers (Home) = W
Memphis (Home) = W
Golden State (Road) = W

I think the road games will be the tough ones...

Lakers game could go either way, but the Rose Garden will be rockin' with the playoff atmosphere seeping in... That game may hinge considerably on if the Lakers are still in the hunt for 1st place, if not, I wouldn't be surprised if Kobe & Gasol got the night off.

I predict 6th seed, against Dallas.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I guess I'm stil sticking with my prediction of 45-37 that I made a couple months ago. 2-6 over these last 8.

I wish I were wrong, but sorry its teh truth.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I agree with 2-6. I dunno what that would mean for our ranking. I really REALLY hope the Lakers don't make it to #1, but I have a feeling we'll be facing them in the first round.

 

[Rhal]

Well seeing as I placed a wager that we would win 50 this season i'm gonna go with 7-1

 

[illmatic99]

I'm optimistic that we'll do well at home. 5-3

Ws:
vs. OKC (we aren't getting swept by OKC)
vs. GSW
@ UTA (Everyone is winning there)
vs. MEM
vs. LAL (see OKC)

 

[PapaG]

The Blazers will be 4-3 going into the Golden State game. A win will mean playing the Lakers; a loss will mean playing the Spurs.

The Blazers will go 4-4 and face the Spurs in the first round.

 

[THE HCP]

I thought the season was already over

 

[BlazerBeav]

5 of the 8 at home and people are predicting 2-6? What are we, the Jazz? There is no way on God's green earth that we are only going to win 2 of the last 8 games. Of the three road games, we have New Orleans without West, a Utah team that just lost at home to Washington and has benched Al Jefferson and the Warriors. What are we supposed to be scared of? OKC, Dallas or LA at home? We'd better be able to beat them at our place.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

The Blazers will be 4-3 going into the Golden State game. A win will mean playing the Lakers; a loss will mean playing the Spurs.

The Blazers will go 4-4 and face the Spurs in the first round.

I'm thinking along the same lines - so if a "win" in our final game means facing the Spurs - we'll win it and go 5-3.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I will go with 4-4

 

[BlazerCaravan]

New Orleans (Road) = L
OKC (Home) = L
Dallas (Home) = L
Golden State (Home) = W
Utah (Road) = W
Lakers (Home) = L
Memphis (Home) = L
Golden State (Road) = L

This is my fear. I think we'll do better.

 

[THE HCP]

New Orleans (Road) = W
OKC (Home) = W
Dallas (Home) = L
Golden State (Home) = W
Utah (Road) = W
Lakers (Home) = L
Memphis (Home) = W
Golden State (Road) = L

 

[Pinwheel1]

New Orleans (Road) = W
OKC (Home) = W
Dallas (Home) = L
Golden State (Home) = W
Utah (Road) = W
Lakers (Home) = L
Memphis (Home) = W
Golden State (Road) = L

That is pretty good. My concern is that we lose tonight. Yes they lost West, but Landry seems to usually play well against us.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

New Orleans (Road) = W
OKC (Home) = W
Dallas (Home) = L
Golden State (Home) = W
Utah (Road) = W
Lakers (Home) = L
Memphis (Home) = W
Golden State (Road) = L

This feels exactly right to me, with the possible exception of trading the OKC and DAL results.

 

[KingSpeed]

7-1

New Orleans (Road) = W
OKC (Home) = W
Dallas (Home) = W
Golden State (Home) = W
Utah (Road) = W
Lakers (Home) = W
Memphis (Home) = W
Golden State (Road) = L

50-32

 

[Rastapopoulos]

0-1 so far...

 

[maxiep]

OKC (Home) = W
Dallas (Home) = W
Golden State (Home) = W
Utah (Road) = W
Lakers (Home) = L
Memphis (Home) = W
Golden State (Road) = W

6-1.

 

[Klinky]

I would just like everyone to note I am a perfect 2 - 0 w/ my predictions right now.

Much better than my NCAA bracket.
