Just for fun, I dug up the ESPN's previews for the Blazers in the last 3 previous years. 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 Looks like we have been underestimated each and every year. Will we exceed expectations again this year? I hope so.
Easy son, look at his reasoning. I don't think we are really missing TurkyGuy, do you? That was his prediction with us having a healthy "spry" Greg. Actually he couldn't be more wrong if he tried!
