    I dont know anything about the contracts and salary cap but seems like to keep our starting 5 will be costly.

    Everyone polled was no surprise to me until it got to Strauss. May be a case of the broken clock being right, but I usually take what he says as either immensely dumb or as not-intelligently-trolling-the-pot.

    I always think the Blazers are contenders but it's only been 11 games. My favorite Stotts quote. "The idea is to be better in May than November"

    People sometimes forget that these writers are more often than not, fans of specific teams and not as objective as they seem on the surface. Fact is, our record stands as is and our stats as a team tell the tale. I love that some of these guys keep the Blazers under the radar. It just seems more like home to be overlooked in the west

    It just never ceases to amaze me how these people get paid for such lazy reporting
