52... and top three again. Honestly that’s me putting A TON of faith in Ant, ZCo and Hood. If all 3 of them hit 52 could be a reality.

I guess you can go with that though I prefer that people actually give a hard number so we can see who really nailed it.

Not sure enough to have precise number because i can't defend something if i am not 100% sure .

I felt really **** before last year and they blew my mind.
I feel really good about this season so expecting disappointment.
32 wins as a flip of last year.

I’m in the 50-52 range (maybe 53) with 3 for 3 (3rd place 3 yrs running).
So I’ll go 52. Tight race in the West (4-8) with 52 enough for 3rd.

The west is just so talented. I think we end up 6th seed w/ 47 wins.

Sorry for the pessimism, but our defense is going to be sad this year. I'll go with high 40's, say 47 just to put a number on it. Still good for 6th seed in a competitive West.

I'm torn between 41-43 but because I think a lot of our rotation is going to be a **** show I'll say 41.

Blazers aren't missing the playoffs with a prime Dame unless something catastrophic happens. That said, player continuity is questionable after a lot of turnover. I'll go mid-40s barring some game changing mid-season trade.

Hassan is the X factor imo. But I have my doubts.

It's a tough question to answer at this point. I think they may struggle a bit early on as they continue to figure out the new rosters. I am kind of leaning towards 43 wins. Having said that, I can just as easily see them hitting 53 wins. I'm going with 43 at this point.

I don't get your math. You have the Blazers finishing 5th ahead of Warriors and Jazz, but only winning 43 games. Warriors and Jazz are going to win 49-50 games. Mavs and Spurs will win 43 or more.

Honestly I recon 60 wins and fighting it out with the clips for 1st seed in the West.... Everyone seems quite pessimistic here. From my perspective we are clearly better than last year's 53 win /WCF squad.

48 wins after a rough start, lots of variables at play on this years squad. Defense will be an issue, small guards and wings might be an issue. Injuries to the front court could really hurt the win total.

I'm self imposing a ban on myself for making any predictions for this NBA season - Blazers or otherwise. I truly have no idea what is gonna happen. I could just as easily image the Blazers ending up with the #1 overall pick in the lottery as I can envision them winning a title this year. I have no freaking idea.
