What I like is what it says about our future. Some people here won't "believe" until we win in the playoffs but no matter how we do in the playoffs, if we make the playoffs, it'll be just the beginning of what this team can do gong forward. Our window is WIDE open. Even if we lose in first round, we're set to take the next step next season.
I think the Blazers are one big piece away from doing huge things. Where that piece comes from, who knows?
CJ McCollum, predicted by most rookies to be rookie of the year. He'll finally give us a backup SG, a role Lillard has had to play. He will also give Wes some rest from his injuries. And he will give us extra bench scoring if Mo is having an off night.
Bias or not, Lebron is damn good. That said, MVP talks (and chants) are ridiculous in December. I wish they would have chanted his name or something... no one in the history of the nba has won the MVP in December in an 82 game season. It's just silly to me, IMO.
