You mean the same team that had the #1 spot before the Hawk's game? Or the one that was on a 6 game win streak? Or could it be the one that was 4-1 on a 5 game in 7 day road trip, only to lose the very last game of that trip? Anyone that discredits the Blazers, must think again. They will be surprising most at the end of the season. As for best and worst. I think SAS is one of the worst. Everyone, and I mean everyone said they would be fighting with L.A. for the best record in the West and was the only team with a shot of beating them in the playoffs. For the best or better than expected. I would say Houston. A team filled with role players, beating Blazers, Lakers and playing tough each and every game. I think they are the biggest surprise. They may be the one team fighting for the 7th or 8th seed with a team of nobodies.
Wizards have been a letdown, but with Jamison back and an impressive victory against Cleveland maybe they can turn things around.
