I saw a team that will challenge for the NBA title in 2010 if they
keep the roster together. Outlaw has worked so hard to get that
beautiful unstoppable jumper. If Roy learns to go right he will be
unstoppable. Oden will be a great defensive stopper. I like the PG
combo. Blake is a tough competitor who runs a very good pick amd
roll. Webster is a much smarter player and will grow. Coaching is
solid with Nate. Owner can afford the luxury tax to keep the roster.
ALDRIGE will be GREAT scorer in the post plus a lottery pick is
possible this year. They will learn to win on the road more as they
age... Plus Phx and SA are getting old so you won't be competing with
them for long. This is a great young team. Congratulations Portland.
Looking forward to many more battles...

Rizzo

He often finishes with his right hand which helps.

They also have Rudy Fernandez playing in Spain. Plus they will be able to
not only drop under the tax limit but well under the cap in '09 for a FA.

Sooner than that I hope. Winning in Utah was a nice start, wins in SLC are
as rare as hens teeth over the years for the Blazers. The last one I
remember was a great buzzer beater in OT by Damon with half the team fouled
out. With about 2 seconds left Stockton poked the ball away from Damon it
bounced off a Jazz players leg right back into Damons hands. Pasty wanted an
assist...

We shall see. Fun to watch them now.

Nope. Same year, diferent buzzer beater for Damon.
In the Bucks game he just came of a pick and drained a 3.
