Blazers tier under title contenders according to ESPN (Insider)

11

They basically simulated the entire season 1,000 times, and the Blazers won more than 1% of the championships, but less than 5%. Predicted at about 52 wins (not sure how to feel about that, but if we're in the top 7 of the projected NBA next season, seems fine with me). That puts us into the second tier of teams according to ESPN. SIDENOTE: There's no way the Cavs are winning 68 games next season.
