Not a Blazer article, but a good one! He gives credit where credit is due.

My December Blazer game predictions:

Dec. 2 @ Knicks – I thought we’d win; we won 104-97
Dec. 5 @ Wahington - win
Dec. 5 @ Boston – loss
Dec. 7 @ Toronto – loss
Dec. 9 vs. Orlando – win
Dec. 11 @ Utah – loss
Dec. 12 vs. Clippers – win
Dec. 16 vs. Sacramento – win
Dec. 18 vs. Phoenix – loss
Dec. 22 @ Denver – loss
Dec. 23 vs. Denver – win
Dec. 25 vs. Dallas – win
Dec. 27 vs. Toronto – win
Dec. 30 vs. Boston – loss

So, if my predictions are correct we will go 8-6 in December and end the month with a 20-12 record.

I was wrong...

I was wrong about Nicolas Batum. I thought he would be shipped overseas to develop for a couple years and then fester on the end of the Blazer bench if he ever made it back. Now he’s starting, playing tough D, and raining in steady 3s.

I was wrong about Sergio Rodriguez. I thought he was trade-bait. I thought he was never going to get better. He is showing me up so far this year (and I am glad about that).

I was wrong about the Clippers being a play-off team. I thought Jason Williams would be a great back-up for Baron Davis, but then White Chocolate retired just to prove me wrong. They are off to a terrible start. (However, they still have time to turn it around though after the Zach Randolph trade… so maybe I won’t be wrong in the end).

I was wrong about the Chargers. I picked them to win the Super Bowl. They are 4-8 and won’t even make the play-offs. That’s what I get for listening to the hype.
