Yay, Blazers!

In January I predicted the Portland Trail Blazers would NOT make the playoffs and would NOT win 47 games.

Today, I eat crow.

I was wrong on both counts. However, I was right about how team should not lean exclusively on Greg Oden. I’ve been surprised by the consistent output of Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge, especially LA. The team has been fun to watch and played tough all year.

I am worried about their inability to win against playoff-caliber teams from the West on the road (1-10 this year). That means they really need to finish strong in their last six games to earn a top-4 spot in the West, and win home court advantage.

Go team!
