That's my favorite part of my post from training camp. And this season has surpassed even those hopes. Well done Blazers. Keep it up.
Growing up as a die-hard with the "golden years" of the Drexler teams, I was so used to us winning, even if it meant coming back from 20-down, I've always kinda expected us to be a playoff team. I mean, we made it, what, 17 years in a row. Kinda shaped what I've always expected from Portland. I've long held a healthy appreciation for guys like Davis and Hendo, so I figured with CJ ready to breakout and Dame ready to take the reigns.... And what seemed like solid team chemistry.... I liked what this team had to offer. I at least expected exciting basketball from this group, so it felt like there was something positive going on with this team.
