Yes, That Really Does Make Fifty Wins

Glad to see you can enjoy this game..Hope all is well!

Give jr our best;)

Tell your son that he rocks.

Well, in AK’s defense, we did finish closer to 48 wins than 60 lol.

Hope all is well, jscot.

hey, jscot. Hope you’re doing well.

What a fantastic season.

I would look back at the last 3 years as all truly amazing in their own ways:

2007-08= After the enthusiasm of winning the lotto, and the heartbreak of losing Oden in preseason, many, including myself were dreaming of a shot at Derrick Rose and going into the lottery, yet the amazing 13 game December winning streak fueled the playoff fervor only to fad in the end. Still the first time over .500 felt damn good.

2008-09= THIS was the year we got Oden back and while mostly disappointing, this was the first time he had to actually work on his game with no restrictions. Too bad it was during the NBA season and not the offseason. The revelations that were Rudy and Nic and the freight train we became after the all star break, even getting home court in the playoffs only to face our worst matchup and bow out, hungry for more after our first taste.

2009-10= THIS was the year everything was to come together, only to have it so derailed by such a staggering amount of injuries. The roller coaster ride this season was/is. Even though Brandon is hurt and may miss the playoffs, after all the crap we have been through this year, it’s like,

“Oh another injury to a key player, whatever. We’ve been through this before and we got it.”

NOTHING surprises me this year and each of the past 3 years have ALL been some of the most memorable in record.

How long have your numbers been predicting the Blazers in the 6th seed with 50 wins? Since February?

sorry nate i take everything back. had we got one earlier i think we would have done even better, had we not our season would have been over a week ago. i brush aside the without … and … cause we have a center right now that is everything we hoped greg would be in a couple years or at least by now. that being said and looking to the future after the sonics spend 15+ mill on someone else good. i like our prospects with this team we saw tonite plus a heathy(?) greg and brandon…and joel

I don’t think he really accepted (;-), but at least now I don’t have to donate the money.

And I think I also predicted 50 or 52 wins. It all falls in place in the end.

after losing Joel and Greg, I don’t think I made an official “re-prediction” but I was feeling ~46 wins and a 7/8 seed.

This team is amazing and always performs better than expected.

With Portland’s win the all-time series is tied 100 to 100. Nice.

the Dauphin.

it has also been fantastic the way these guys have responded. I love this team, these guys are tough now in ways they weren’t just 6 months ago. I look forward to the playoffs and beyond…

Amazing, simply amazing…

I too will remember the season forever…

       I predicted the Blazers would finish 60-22. I guess
51-31 is pretty good with the injury struggles. At this
point it’s all about the 2nd season. Perhaps the fellas
will play better without BRoy. Less standing around
waiting for him to make his move. Dr. Jack & I would love to
see lots of back screens & cuts. As Snapper would say, “Move
people, move the ball”.
           GO BLAZERS !!

          Yes,
                      COINCAST SUCKS !!
                                                                but they don’t have the PLAYOFFS !

                       Back to Philly, and take Wharry Millwer with you !

        is the answer to your question. After 35 + years as a Blazermaniac,
you never say OVER.

So you think you can come back for the playoffs after all the heavy lifting of the regular season is over? Well, your little vacation goes to show that we can win no matter who is on the injured list.

Just remember, this time of year, we don’t want a whole lot of outside shots taken—you are going to have to be willing to get in the paint—willing to do the dirty work . We need the inside scoop, jscot. This is going to require you to do some low-posting. My question is, “Are you up to it, are you man enough to own the paint in the playoffs?”

Before the season I predicted 62.I have to admit I am surprised they have done this well with all the injuries. Next year #1 seed BOOK IT!

Although jr was great…….there is only one :). Have to agree this will be a special season to remember. So many combinations…..so many team victories. And a lot of fun to watch everyone contribute.

The Henchmen have been training daily and await your return to command m’lord.

I’ll remember J-bay hitting 32 at San Antonio. That run in Texas showed some grit. We have some ballers to step up in place of the natural. I hope we play pho or utah. the mav are to stacked right now.

Your injury time-out was the biggest hurdle for the Bedgers to overcome but like the Blazers, others stepped up admirably to almost fill the void.

Now that you have returned the 62 does look more likely. My 63 prediction would take us to Cleveland/Orlando as the WC champs. I love your optimism in the face of adversity.

happy to see you here!

At least something was for good, because we have had jscotjr with us for a while.

i gush with hope and love for these players
