How about a little over/under?

by djudd on Jun 20, 2009 2:16 PM PDT Comment 19 comments

We've got a few days to kill until the draft. Why not partake in a game of over/under. I'll present you with a category and a number. You get to predict whether the actual outcome will be higher (over) or lower (under).

1. Number of all-stars will the Blazers have in next year's All-Star game? Over/Under 1.5?

2. Number of former all-stars will the Blazers have on the team next year? Over/Under 1.5?

3. Number of games Travis Outlaw plays for the Blazers? Over/Under 1?

4. Number of starts for Jerryd Bayless? Over/Under 9?

5. Number of wins for the Blazers next year? Over/Under 55?

6. Number of new players on the team? Over/Under 2.5?

7. Number of games that Greg Oden starts? Over/Under 49?

8. Number of games Martell Webster starts? Over/Under 49?

9. Number of rookies on team next year? Over/Under 2

10. Number of trades on draft day? Over/Under2?

What's your guess?

1. Number of all-stars will the Blazers have in next year’s All-Star game? Over/Under 1.5? Over- I think it’s LMA’s year, judging from how much he improved last season

2. Number of former all-stars will the Blazers have on the team next year? Over/Under 1.5? Under

3. Number of games Travis Outlaw plays for the Blazers? Over/Under 1? Over- I could see them dealing him before the deadline

1. Under, There are too many elite Fs in the West for Aldridge to sneak in. No way he gets on ahead of Dirk, Duncan, Gasol, Anthony, Stoudemire, etc.

2. Under

3. Under

4. Over, but largely dependent on injuries

5. Over

1. Number of all-stars will the Blazers have in next year’s All-Star game? Over/Under 1.5? 2 is a a possibility if the Blazers are winning and they want to reward the team, giving LMA an semi-deserved bit a la David West. Its also conceivable Oden could get there. Under is still the safer bet though.

2. Number of former all-stars will the Blazers have on the team next year? Over/Under 1.5? Guys like Kirk and Hedo are the most likely big-time additions and they haven’t been all-stars.

3. Number of games Travis Outlaw plays for the Blazers? Over/Under 1? Outlaw is a trade piece with potentially more value on the open market than to the Blazers.

4. Number of starts for Jerryd Bayless? Over/Under 9? I’m just not sold on Bayless at all.

5. Number of wins for the Blazers next year? Over/Under 55? This is a tough one— I think you set the bar at just the right place— Blazers should be improved, but so will some other teams.

6. Number of new players on the team? Over/Under 2.5? I’ll say 3.

7. Number of games that Greg Oden starts? Over/Under 49? I’ll cast a hopeful vote for “over.”

8. Number of games Martell Webster starts? Over/Under 49? Way under. He fails to beat out Batum, IMO.

9. Number of rookies on team next year? Over/Under 2 I don’t think more than 1 makes the roster.

10. Number of trades on draft day? Over/Under2? Push. I’ll say KP makes 2 deals.

1. Number of all-stars will the Blazers have in next year’s All-Star game? Over/Under 1.5?Roy, Aldridge, and maybe Oden(fingers crossed). The regulars at PF are getting long in the tooth. LA will be short listed for the alternates and can beat out West.

2. Number of former all-stars will the Blazers have on the team next year? Over/Under 1.5?Vince Carter/Devon Harris?

3. Number of games Travis Outlaw plays for the Blazers? Over/Under 1?We need to clear space at the 3 or somebody will be squeezed out. I doubt Webster could clear a physical. I would hope for a former all star if Travis goes.

4. Number of starts for Jerryd Bayless? Over/Under 9?This could be a Roy injury or a point guard injury but he is a combo guard for when we need offense.

5. Number of wins for the Blazers next year? Over/Under 55?

6. Number of new players on the team? Over/Under 2.5?plus we stash one overseas.

7. Number of games that Greg Oden starts? Over/Under 49?If this happens he might be our second allstar.

8. Number of games Martell Webster starts? Over/Under 49?We start him slow. Batum-shocka locka

9. Number of rookies on team next year? Over/Under 2 Push

10. Number of trades on draft day? Over/Under2? One trade up, one consolidation, and one for next year

Oh

1. Roy again, LMA/Oden proly not ready. Oden could do it if Yao can’t play due to injury.
2. I doubt we get Harris/Kidd.
3. I think he’s traded
4. Barring injury, Bayless is not our starter next year.
5. Should improve by 2 easily enough
6. Outlaw/Sergio/Frye gone at least, proly Shav/Ruffin too.
7. Barring serious injury he should beat Przybilla this time around
8. Batum should start, we need firepower off the bench
9. I think it will be 2 even actually. Picked under just because.
10. Most will be minor, but a few should happen.

I like your picks

I also agree that Batum should start because we need Martell on the bench for scoring, however I think Nate will start Martell for most of the season because Nate does silly things like that. (we’ll talk about how Nate trusts Martell more, but its really just because Nate does silly things)

1. I think we may trade for one, and I wouldnt be surprised to see LMA or Oden grab a spot (not all of them but any one of them along with Roy)
2. Roy and I think we’ll trade for one (my guess is Harris, and I hope so)
3. I think he’ll be traded
4. I say over because Im gambling on the fact that we’ll end up with a young PG like Harris (maybe Sessions or Rubio but I doubt it) and Bayless will be traded and he will start some games for his new team.
5. I think we can do it, year older, a year better, and we right now have winners on this team
6. this over/under number should have been higher. just the loss of Shav. Raef, and Frye does it.
7. I think Oden is going to be a top 5 center next year
8. I do not think we’ll get a new SF and I think Martell will start the season as the starter
9. I think we’ll end up with one drafted this year and I think Freeland will be over, maybe even PK if we trade both Bayless and Sergio because we have a new starting young PG and Blake as the sub.
10. i think we’ll trade down in the draft, I think we’ll trade for a player with that draft pick, and I think we’ll have a couple 2nd rounders traded away for future picks
