I hope your right…. I enjoy their games. I’m just worried when the guys on your team that have hit the most big or late game shots are Crawford and Felton.

I had Portland finishing third in the Northwest division, but they could surprise this year…

You mean like Lebron? I see your point. They actually lost their guy to injury, but with them it’s next man up and coach Mac, who is tough as nails, will have them ready. They 3 who can be that guy. The situation will dictate.

The Blazers are a solid team… with a bunch of good players but no “killers”. They can all hurt you a little but they just dont have that guy thats going to take over a game…you need that in the playoffs. Roy was that guy for them and now its just missing. So I’ll continue to enjoy watching them but I dont think they are true contenders.

I too, think the Blaze is legit. I watched the game last night and when I saw Felton, Crawford, Battumie, Wallace and Aldridge on the floor, I thought to myself that is a pretty formidable five on the floor.

Incidentally, am I the only one that thinks Felton looks about 25lbs overweight?

POR,103 OKC, 93 (‘we’re not convinced they are that good…’)

obviously!…Blazers win and I get to see highlights of Durant blocking Matthews?!?

That’s like the Ducks winning the Rose Bowl with highlights of Montee Ball hurdling a Duck defender.
