    You can tell when the interviewed B Roy on PTI that he knows just making the playoffs will be a mission. Then it comes down to who we get matched up with. I like us against Hornets, Rockets, Mavs and Jazz. Spurs and Lakers have to much experience and the Nuggs are a bad matchup.

    How are the Nuggs a bad matchup? Let's see them play each other before coming to such a conclusion.

    Tmac gets hurt.... probable!!!! Their season is over.... Yao is soft and I think Oden might make a name for himself against him. I like our bench over theirs and the Rockets always fizzle out.

    The Spurs are a great team but their age is starting to show. I'm not sure the fire is still there for Tim. Just my opinion.

    Dallas always wilts.

    Now would that be enough? NOOOOOOO!!!!

    Now throw in ROY and superstar status and the calls he's now getting and he's just starting!!! Oden is a month away from being a force and RUDY and LA make us super dangerous. We'll be a major threat to the middle of the pack playoff teams.

    Oops, you are right. Good point, however that doesn't change the fact that we are not currently in the running for the #1 seed, and are unlikely to be by any statistical measurement, when you objectively look at us versus the Lake show.

    We do need HC advantage in our first round series, though. That should be the Blazer's focus.

    Except that Billups is younger, stronger, and a much better defender. Not to mention that Billups is just plain playing better than Nash.

    Enthusiasm is great, but don't deny opposing players their due. Right now, Billup's value is closer to Roy's than it is to Blake. They both belong on the all-star team ahead of Nash.

    Really? I just saw it as him keeping with the known team goal is for the season. I couldn't derive anything else from the interview regarding his views on where the team would end up.
