yeah, i said it. the nba darlings, the new *it* team, hogwash.

i say there are decent. they have a good player in roy. but i think lamarcus is overrated and their prospects to contend rely on oden. all those other guys: sergio, outlaw, webster, rudy, etc...all of them are just spare parts. they need to cash all those pieces in for a big time player otherwise the future rests on oden's knees.

How could they? McFail did nothing for them...at least that's what any Knick fan will tell you.


I agree with you, it appears some of their young players are coming along, including Telfair.

naw, they're good. But I think they need a trade. Some of the pieces are a bit redundant and they need another go-to-scorer before I start to take them serious as title contenders.

That team needs a veteran, to say the least, and I don't mean RaWeed Wallace.

Hasheed sounds more natural than Raweed.

I have to disagree with your opinion of Lamarcus. He is the real deal. I watch alot of their games and the dude has game.

I don't get all the hype Greg Oden gets. He has 8 pts, 7 boards and 1.1 blocks in 23 minutes. Przybilla has 6 pts, 8 boards and 1.1 blocks in 23 minutes. How is Oden a big upgrade - especially when you consider how injury prone he is.

Right. The Raptors are, like, way better than the Blazers! So why are the Blazers getting all the love?

I agree this team isn't getting out the first round in the playoffs.

DJ you grumpy these days.

Oden is 20 years old, his rookie year after sitting a year.

i think oden is awesome. i think he can be a dominant beast. but their future is tied in with his knees.

Portland has an interesting history with Centers. LaRue Martin with the no. 1 pick I think 1970, Bill Walton ( a star hampered by his feet/knees ) and of course Sam Bowie.

Jury is still out on Durant also.

I would consider this to be a learning year for a good young team that is not ready to challenge the big boys. Lots of youth and inexperience, and as some have pointed out, a 20 year old Oden just coming back from a serious injury.

They need a better PG, obviously. Blake is competent, but I see him as a Duhon in some ways- a competent player who will man the fort until their future PG, whoever it may be, arrives. I do wonder if the Portland brass really thought Bayless was the answer when they drafted him. I remember arguing with Portland posters about whether or not he would be a starting PG for Portland. People either thought he would a point, or figured that Roy could do many of the things a PG does. It is obvious, at this time anyway, that Portland does not think Bayless or Rodriguez is their future PG in waiting.

If Oden comes around and does not become the Sam Bowe of his era, I don't see why this group won't become an elite team in a few years, even if they can't get anyone better than Blake. Outlaw, Fernandez, Batum, Bayless, Webster. and Rodriquez are all 24 or younger, and will get better and either contribute to the Blazers or be used for trades.

Do people really believe that a group of young players can come together and immediately develop the chemistry to be an elite team without some growing pains and maturation as a team? If they were to keep this same group for 5 years, almost every significant player on the team will still be under 30.

The Blazers are not "overrated-" some people are just overreacting to the normal growth curve of a young and talented team.
