Ok,,You are kidding right..They still are the Portland....This team needs a few more pieces before yu can say that...And they Play in the West, which makes it that much harder.

 

[RobFunk]

They are young and have a lot of talent. LaMarcus Aldridge going to have to stay healthy all year because after that, they have no effective big men.

Thing is a lot of these Western teams are on the way down, and will have to rebuild for several years (Phoenix, San Antonio). Give the Blazers 2-3, maybe 4 more seasons and they will be competing at least in the Conference Finals.

You've never heard of Greg Oden?! He will be a beast IF he can stay healthy.

I mean seriously, people on ESPN were calling him the "next Shaq" after his first preseason game. :shocked:

Yup. True. He is as fragile as they come though.

 

[gtc08]

oden, roy, aldridge. pretty solid core.

rudy fernandez is legit. webster, outlaw, pryzbilla good role players.

bayless top draft pick.

im tellin you guys they are lined up to win for a long time.

 

[gtc08]

oh yeah. and batum. that guy is doing so good roy is lobbying for him to start in the opener

 

[lapdance]

shouldn't they at least have to make the playoffs before we start a thread like this?

 

[FairWarning]

This may be a first, but I agree with GTC08.

 

[TomBrady#1]

no wonder why you stopped gambling. Smart move. :lol:

:lol:

the texas trio (dal/hou/SA) have aging stars and so do the lakers

down the road there is no other team that looks more stacked than portland

 

[RupertPupkin]

Not for nothing , this franshise holds the record for most consecutive seasons of making the playoffs ... snapped a few years ago though. Its only matter of time before they become a force again. But I agree Oden has to get a season under his belt first before making these types of predictions ...

 

[joebatters]

I agree...this team is loaded. BTW, I saw Greg Oden at a Kroger's this summer. He was appearing in a basketball camp or something. He doesn't look nearly as old as people kid about. I was surprised. Maybe that year of rest did him good.
