(2018-2019 College Bowl Picks click here) Well here we are nearly one fourth of the  way into 2018-19 season. The Blazers are 13-10 and just got shellacked by the Spurs. What started out as a delightfully entertaining and well played beginning, has turned back into the now predictable Blazers pattern that has become repeated for […]

Ever since a couple years ago when I was the only sports prognosticator in the country to pick the Trail Blazers number of wins, I have had some performance anxiety about trying to match that year of accuracy. Unlike the year of my singular success when the numbers lined up so obviously, the numerical scheme […]

Now that we have been through the somewhat underwhelming Blazer draft period let’s take a look at some of the numerical indicators for the coming season. Numbers for the two drafted rookies suggest Neil Olshey may end up with kudos in the end after these two grow into their place with the team. First round […]

 I indicated three or four years ago that the numbers suggested this would be a crucial year (and probably successful) for determining the future direction of the team. Next year will be even more so. The numbers say CJ arrives and could eclipse Dame as the scoring leader. At the beginning of this season I […]

Early in the Season I posted my numerical forecast for this year’s Trail Blazers campaign emphasizing that the best prospects for an improved season appeared to be utilizing all of the talent and “play the rookies”. For a while they actually did this and prospered. And then slowly they drifted back into the compulsive Stotts […]

As the Portland Trail Blazers plod their way through what is pretty much so far another fair to middlin season, let us take a look at the numerical factors that have or have not been considered. Sometimes the sports fan wishes that coaches and management would get out of the “strictly basketball” mentality and use […]

  Nearly 50 years ago my then wife’s father had access to a betting establishment and I would occasionally bet on college football games using the numbers. I did quite well at the time averaging around 5 hits out of seven attempts. It was kind of fun at the time, but I did not take […]

BOWL PICKS 2017-2018 (Author’s Note) Years ago a professional colleague of mine who organized sessions and venues affectionately joked that , ” if Lynn’s reading is not accurate save it until next year”. I was often very accurate, but a year early for whatever reason. I have frequently been known for being ahead of my […]

I have previously acknowledged my interest and bias toward the Blazers and can toot my horn some about previous assessments and predictions. I wrote nearly three years ago that the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons would be significant to the franchise and most likely considerably more successful than previous years. This was, of course, based upon […]

Since 2014 I became numerically intrigued with the Portland Trail Blazers, becoming a follower and fan. After a series of blogs and articles that were uncannily accurate and outperformed the pros of the business, I have slowed down and have had diminished interest for reasons previously presented on the website. Once in a while it […]

After a 2015-2016 season of presenting stunningly accurate Trail Blazers preseason and pregame predictions, I have pretty much taken the 2016-2017 season off because they have for the most part been kind of boring. I was caught in the malaise of the listless play and predictable sports pundits’ trend to write them off. But, for […]

It is that time of the year for college football bowl game addicts, and the deciding of a national champion in the playoff series. Thousands of articles and media stories will be told and predictions by hundreds of sports pundits across the country will be made. Probably only one will look at the numerology and […]

Thought for the fun of it I would make a forecast of the NBA Western Conference coming season 2016-17. This involves some intuition, a little common sense, some numerology work and then a big guess– just like the pro sports coverage people do. I have on numerous occasions professed my clear cut Blazers bias, so […]

After all of the high brow pre-free agent talk coming out of various Blazers’s sources, the recent signing of Evan Turner has raised questions and turned heads everywhere. Say what? This is one time I join the often predictable postings of the beat writers, and numerically, say what? If you look at the numbers of the […]

To see all previous sports blogs. I mentioned at the end of last season I would be cutting back on my sports blogging. I still have an interest in the Blazers progress and was intrigued by their lonely draft pick, Jake Layman. From a numerical point of view, it appears that Jake’s agent pretty much […]

Why I have enjoyed following the Blazers! For a season and a half I have applied my numerology skills, intuition, and experience with human behavior to successfully and accurately analyze and predict insights and results about the Portland Trail Blazers. Oftentimes my observations were posted months before the sports beat people even saw things coming. […]

Having done so well analyzing and numerically predicting Blazers results over the last two seasons, I will now set my sights on the Blazers chances for the 2016 NBA playoffs. This will most likely be the last time I do so for the following reasons. At first numerical glance it looks like I will end […]

As a 50-year practicing professional numerologist, I decided to put my skills to the task of sports blogging focusing on a favorite team, the Portland Trail Blazers. During the 2014-15 season I accurately predicted personnel and game performances. So, before this season, I did an analysis of this year’s young and inexperienced Blazers. (Update: >>> http://forevernumerology.com/sports/portland-trail-blazers-numerology-playoff-predictions-2016/  […]

Those who have followed my work know by now that last August I picked the Blazers to win 47-49 games + or- 3. As of this writing (March 5, 2016), they are right on the cusp of finishing the season within that range. At the time of the original article I numerologically chose seven games […]

To see the numbers for the new Blazers this year click here. The use of veteran in the title simply means that the player has been here longer than this season 2015-16. My work is made easy here and does not require much calculation since there are not very many veterans. Damian and CJ are […]

For the numbers of the team veterans click here. Since the Trail Blazers have surprised everyone this season except old man numbers here, I thought I would further examine the numerical contribution of the new members of this year’s team. After becoming the only sports prognosticator to pick them to have a winning season this […]

Sure, it is only a little past mid-season and things could change rapidly given the fickle flow of fate that NBA teams go through during any given regular season. But for the moment, let this prognosticator toot like a rooster, just in case a later turn of events has him eating crow. (Update: final season […]

Since the late 1960’s I have toyed with using numerology to pick sporting event winners, with most of the interest directed at picking the end of the season college football bowl games. There was a time years ago when I occasionally placed a bet, and sometimes got the bookies frustrated because I hit so many. […]

This is the mid-season review for my earlier optimistic prognostication for the Blazers season. Against all odds back in august before they even met each other I predicted a winning season and suggested the Blazers would be a big surprise. Well, it can be said that they are looking less likely to reach the aspired […]

This seems to be the slow time of the NBA season when sports writers fill idle time by picking the breakout player for the coming season for their respective teams. My definition […]

Considered by many the brightest star in the 2015 NBA free agent sweepstakes, power forward LaMarcus Aldridge made a big change to the San Antonio Spurs after spending his first nine years in the league with the Portland Trail Blazers. There are many stories and oodles of speculation as to why he made the move. […]

(Author’s Note) I did not set out this year to do sports articles. However, I did enjoy doing the two about the Blazers and positive reader response has prompted me to do one more. THE NUMEROLOGY AND MYSTERY OF JAMES HARDEN Lynn Buess, MA, EdS  James Harden is a very talented and often controversial NBA […]

(Author’s Note) Some quick post playoff numerical thoughts: Draft Christian Wood and play him at the small forward position (6/3/15). The numbers of LA’s progressed chart (not shown) suggest he will leave Portland (6/4/15). Attention: This blog is essentially a continuation of the previous one for the Blazers 2015. You are strongly encouraged to read that […]

(Attention; see the playoff blog here) As a onetime above average high school athlete I have casually followed college, international and Olympic sports throughout most of my life. For the most part I find little interest in professional sports because of the overstatement of commercialism and irregularities that come from so much pressure placed upon […]
