    Probably over optimism on my part. But I could see them being better than 'just being good enough' to make playoffs.

    They are better than I ever thought they'd be. Not only as the depth improved with the new additions but so has the defense improved. And Shaggy has turned into defensive specialist apparently.

    Uhm. LMA predicted we'd finish 7th. That's not exactly something to get too excited about, is it?

    Maybe he sees what he we all see. Maybe he sees what I said above. A team that is better than being just good enough to make the playoffs which would be right about 7th or 8th seed.

    So in this sense by saying 7th, he isn't really going on a limb. I'm glad he is feeling better about his team this year.

    Some would rather we finish in 7th, and lose in 5 games of the first round compared to finishing 10th and getting the 10th pick........It's up to you which you prefer.

    With Westbrook still injured I think the Blazers are a more complete team and we'll have a chance to build a lead in our division until he gets back and up to speed.
