Pre-season over it's prediction time - how far will we go?

[Spens1]

if we make it out of the first round i'd be happy with that.

Fired Up... Western Conference Seedings Baby:

1. Houston (Harden, CP3 & Capella).
2. Warriors (GS will rest players).
3. Utah (cohesive unit).
4. Lakeshow (LBJ & Young Guns).
5. OKC (Westbrook & Roberson Out).
6. Portland (Backcourt).
7. Spurs (Pop & DeMar).
8. Denver (No Defense).

Lakeshow Baby...

speaking of GSW resting players, I remember last year and the year b4, in their last pre-season game or 2 they started to play like it was a regular season play their players as normal, but this year they didn't - got to think about that

How long is Westbrook and Roberson out for? I might have to change my predictions lols

Lakers are a very desirable trade partner once the All Star Break hits and the summer contracts of KCP ($12), Rondo ($9), Lance ($4.5) & Beasley ($3.5) can be traded... Best case scenario is Pelicans, Blazers, Toronto or Minny start off really slow & we make a deal...

Lakeshow Baby...

4th or 5th seed, with GSW, Houston, and the Spurs ahead of us. First round matchup with god knows who, which we win. Lose in the second round to the Warriors while putting up a fight.

I have feeling we will do some trade for a star player

Yeah, it sure seems like Wagner, KCP, Stephenson and a future protected 1st will be shipped for Jimmy Butler come mid-season.

Or a bigger deal that basically involves Lonzo for Lillard.

No way Blazers would ever trade Lillard for Lonzo. Stop dreaming

Third in the West and we make it to the Western Conference Finals.

Huge, huge season fron Ingram-

I'm not the one inventing these ideas. It's been mentioned by credible people.

Based on the first 2 games: 7th or 8th seed, but a PO miss is also feasible.

We Will develop as the team starts to gel however
-we will never be an adequate 3pt shooting team
-we will not be able to space the floor enough
-our D will never be better than average (in the regular rotation only McGee has some paint protection skills)

The situation reminds me greatly to 2012-13.
