So… are we really gonna be THAT bad?

I think the team will be competitive most nights but still come up short. Won't win a lot of games but won't be blown out most nights.

Breaking out the ol' "competitive loss" consolation mantra.

It gets better, just wait until the Blazers fo comes up with their next remix of the "rise with us" slogan

More accurate would be "rise with us till we reach 50 wins then enjoy mediocrity"

I’m seeing 22-60, honestly. I think the team is more talented than that record would indicate, but young teams tend to lose close games, and we already know Chauncey Billups led teams really tend to blow leads. It will still be a fun season to watch, but I can’t see Portland sniffing 30 wins.
