    Last 10 games for the teams we're competing with for a playoff spot:
    Blazers 6-4
    Thunder 6-4
    Jazz 6-4
    Mavs 6-4
    Clippers 6-4
    Hornets: 7-3
    Grizzlies: 7-3
    Suns: 4-6
    Spurs: 5-5
    Rockets: 5-5

    So, in other words, over the past 10 games two contenders have gained 1/2 game on the Blazers, two have dropped back a half game, and one has dropped back a full game. Roy missed two of the past 10 games and half of two other games.

    Sometimes I think we forget that other teams play their own schedules and deal with their own adversities. Over the next 10 games, if the Blazers can play .500 ball, they won't lose any significant ground in the playoff race.

    Yes I especially loved the ball movement at the end of the Washington game. Instead of ROY time we had.............."Here you shoot! No you shoot it" time.

    He's paid $18 mil just for the 2012 season. I don't think anyone wants that contract.

    If Philly ever orchestrates a buyout for that monstrosity, then yeah, sure I'd be happy to add him on to the team for the MLE.

    Just to be clear, the underlined text is a quote of Dwight Jaynes's blog. So I guess you really should rep him.

    Do you know how many times I check myself before agreeing with Mixum publically . . . and here you just throw reps around like they are free or something.

    I think we can all agree that the Blazers aren't winning the 2010 title with Howard and Pendergraph as their centers.

    So why do people think they will be contenders for the 2011 title with Howard and Pendergraph as their centers?
