Famous mouth: The Trail Blazers will win 38 to 44 games next season & 36 wins last season, but it is difficult to enter the playoffs

October 6th News Today, former NBA player and famous speaker Tim Legler talked about the situation of the Trail Blazers when participating in the podcast ALLNBAPodcast.

"Let's look at the Portland Trail Blazers. I think this team might surprise you. Although they're a young team, the introduction of Holiday in the offseason has helped a lot in their locker room atmosphere, game attitude and overall strength. He's not only a great defensive player, but also a professional spirit and a winning mentality. Billups must be very excited about it. The Trail Blazers performed very well in the second half of last season, with a 50% win rate in the last 42 games. This is impressive considering the fierce competition in the West," Legler said.

"The young players on the team, such as Sharp and Jeremy Grant, have the potential to make greater progress. In addition, if Rowe remains healthy, it will greatly improve the team's defensive ability. Overall, I think the Trail Blazers have a chance to be one of the best defensive teams in the West. Although I don't think they will win 45 games, a nearly 50% winning rate will be a very successful season for them. I predict they will win 38 to 44 games, they won 36 games last season, and now the media predicts that they will win 34.5 games. But it is still difficult for them to enter the playoffs." Legler said.
