Bighurt52235 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 So after 6 games, what does everyone think? Personally, I think this club has a shot to play in late April, possibly May, but I'll wait on that one. They've got great young talent, and right now they're winning big games without Darius Miles, Brandon Roy, Lamarcus Aldridge, Raef LaFrentz, and Joel Pryzbilla. I attended tonights amazing 27 point comeback over the top ranked Hornets... by far the most electric sporting event I've ever attended. The fans, though a little few in number, are starting to comeback, and BlazerMania is soon taking over Rip City once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 They're on the right track but I think they're still going to end up with the worst record in the West when it's all said and done, for these main reasons; 1) Don't think Jack and Umoza would start for any other team in the NBA right now. 2) Lack of depth. Besides Pryzibilla, Outlaw, Dixon and Webster, most od whom are still young and inconsistent, they don't really have much else. 3) Youth. Put simply these guys still need time to gel. So if I'm a Blazers fan, I'm still hoping for that #1 pick to get Greg Oden. Then you've got something. I do like Brandon Roy very much though, and I couldn't believe teams like the Bobcats chose Adam Morrison over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 It'd be nice to see Portland good once again. Another surpise in the league is the 4-1 Atlanta Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The Blazers have a great player in Zach Randolph... if he can stay out of trouble they can be a pretty decent team. Roy is the most NBA ready of prob. all the rookies in the draft and darius miles is also a pretty good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blazers should be doing all they can to keep trying and ship him to the Knicks under Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Miles hasn't even played a game yet because of knee problems and now he's out because he is having surgery on the knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which bodes well for the Blazers. I think guys like Miles are best desribed by the old cliche, "addition by subtraction." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
