I know how much some of you guys hate PER, but ...

I wonder how long it's been since the Blazers had a starting roster full of guys with a PER north of 17?

Right now:
Roy: 21.61
LMA: 17.84
Miller: 18.16
Nic: 17.95
Camby: 17.64

and the bench aint bad either:
Bayless: 15.35
Rudy: 14.02
Howard : 10.91 (meh)

I've been pretty suspicious of this team's post season prospects, but once I saw this I'm a little more encouraged.

 

Looks like 1985 of all years was the closest: http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/POR/1985.html

 

And just think if we can resign Camby this offseason and add Oden's 20+ PER back into the lineup...
