Jail Blazers

The fuck? Looked at the standings and these guys are 12-2. Didn't B Roy die a couple years ago? When did they get good?

This is so Blazers though. They will make the playoffs the one year you want to be in the NBA draft lottery.

Forever average.

Greg Oden is the best player on the floor. Nuff said about that

Speed, Speed, Speed. With Brandon Roy and Zach Randolph, we may have the fastest team yet.

Lillard + Aldridge is a great combo. I could see them taking the West but they won't beat the Heat.

I don't think they're for real. A playoff team, for sure, but not a contender. They can do some really interesting stuff offensively but they're not good enough defensively.

I did see a someone mention them being interested in Asik. That would give them a huge jump. I think they could compete with anyone, in the West, in a seven game series. But being able to win three straight rounds in the playoffs and being competitive is a completely different thing.

They are very fun to watch.

I think they win their division rather easily, say 65-17?

As much as I hate them I think OKC wins the division.

The west is interesting as there are several teams who are good but not one who stands out. Perhaps the Spurs make it back after all.

In the East with the Rose news it's back to being a two team race between Race Bannon's Heat and APAG's Pacers.

APAG's Spurs are 13-1. But's its awfully cold for June

They look good, but I would still feel safe with your Heat pick.

So another #magicalseason for a NW team? Gonna watch them for the first time tonight against RoadDawg's Suns.

The Blazers are two moves away from being able to beat anyone in seven games. They need another veteran post that can log 15-18 quality minutes a night and one more reliable bench scorer. I though Wright was going to be the #2 behind Mo, but he's proving to be a turd so far.

How bout them Blazers?

I lied. Went to Captain Phillips with my Dad on a chilly November evening in a sea of Seattle hipsters.

How the fuck did they lose to the Suns?

The Suns aren't terrible. Goran Dragic might be the most underrated player in the league.

The Suns will fall off as the year goes on, but they do have some nice pieces. Eric Bledsoe was playing well before he got hurt. I don't know how well him and Dragic can play together. The Morris twins have been solid off the bench, and Frye and Gerald Green are dangerous when they get hot.
