    Hmmm. Not sure how I screwed up and landed this in the OT section. A little mod help, please?

    I was wondering why you put this in the OT section. Nice work, ABM.

    That sounds about right with me. I think we are the 4th best team in the league. We maybe will become 3rd if we can keep this pace and Indiana falters a bit. I'm not 100% certain that will happen though.

    I'm very proud of this team's achievement!!!

    Peaking too early? This is just like the Blazers.

    Record says we are third now but everyone is a heat fan boy, I'm surprised they ranked us over the clippers.

    The Miami heat and the team to beat. Until they drop dramatically, they will always be a top 3 team.

    Nah. They're playing well, but I don't think they're playing as hot as their win streak indicates they are ... if that makes any sense?

    That's not a knock on them by the way, because I think if anything they're winning through their emerging chemistry and resilience more than just having a "hot hand." They still can shoot a lot more efficiently and the defense can still get a lot better.

    our SOS during the win streak is only .415 (Hollinger), so yeah makes sense.

    Portland 12-2

    Sorry, folks. I've lost my appetite to focus on all the sub-.500 victims in Portland's 10-game winning streak, as we did extensively on the set of "NBA Coast to Coast" last Monday, because this little scheduling detail is important, too: Six of the Blazers' 10 straight wins were on the road.


    By Christopher Dempsey The Denver Post

    3. Portland Trail Blazers: The other team that strung together nine straight? This one. And it's about time this team gets credit for playing some of the best basketball in the NBA.


    NBA Power Rankings: Make way for Blazers
    By Marc J. Spears Yahoo Sports

    4. Portland Trail Blazers (12-2) last week's ranking (6) The Blazers grew closer when they immediately came to the aid of Joel Freeland in a skirmish and comeback win against the Warriors.


    By John Reid, NOLA.com | The Times Picayune

    3. Portland Trail Blazers: Surprise team in the NBA with nine consecutive wins and six straight on road that pushed their overall record to 11-2.


    USA TODAY Sports Voters: Sam Amick, Sean Highkin , Adi Joseph , Kevin Spain and Jeff Zillgitt ; Hoopsworld.com's Lang Greene and Steve Kyler ; The Indianapolis Star's Candace Buckner (former Columbian Blazer Beat writer); The (Phoenix) Arizona Republic's Paul Coro ; the Detroit Free Press' Vince Ellis ; and The (Wilmington, Del.) News Journal's Jason Wolf

    4. Portland Trail Blazers (12-2) They mostly have their health now. You cannot say that about most Blazers teams.

    This kid Lilliard is coming along beautifully in his second season. Aldridge is already a terrific two-way player who can play multiple positions and it seems Wes Matthews has figured out what he should be doing with that team, how he should fit in, and more important what he should NOT be trying to do. Hard to watch Portland and not be impressed by what they're doing.

    And they have been beat, 1 more time than the blazers. They also lost to the nets who, as you know,were shown how a real team plays when the blazers shit on Jason kidds soon to be short coaching career.

    I never thought id see the day when stein has it right over the others.
