With the official NBA schedule released today, early win total predictions for the new season are not far behind. That includes Bleacher Report’s version. And let’s just say that author Andy Bailey predicts the Blazers to float through the river of 2023-24 like a cement mixer.
Bailey predicted a whopping 14 wins for the Blazers. That’s three fewer than the league-worst Detroit Pistons notched last season.
Of Portland, Bailey says:
This prediction is obviously based on the belief that Damian Lillard will be gone before the season starts. He’s not on the Miami Heat yet, but the trade request is out there.
