    It's early. All anyone sees is "Brandon Roy retires"... which is fine. We will sneak up on people.

    I can already see how espn and TNT will play it. "Nobody expected this team to overcome the adversity with the losses of Roy and Oden." They will give us credit by taking credit away. It will be that we arent a good team playing good basketball, but a bad team getting lucky because the fans will them to victoy (or some other stupid shit excuse).

    Not worried about it. Rankings this early are meaningless. I am sure we'll surprise people like usual.

    Even if we started out the season 18-0 (Looking at you ABM) we still wouldn't make a lot of top 5 power rankings and the wins will be attributed to something other then our teams talent. I like flying under the radar it'll make our WCF run that much more fun to watch.

    Someone else that doesn't know what they are talking about, I'm sure.



    In reality, with this group, I would be shocked if we finished below the Nugs

    If the ranking hold up then Portland is 8th in the West.
