Losing 10 out of their 15 games during the month of November and losing their top scorer, LaMarcus Aldridge... I thought the Trailblazers were just going to have to wait until next season when they get Oden back to make some splashes.
But into the month of December the Trailblazers are now making waves and I can confidently say they are "Tearin it up." After losing to San Antonio, Portland has been on a 8-game winning streak and there is no end in sight. When our beloved Dubs went to Portland, we all thought the game was in the bag and the Dubs would come back with another W! But mann watching Portland tear it up the way that they did gave me chills! Portland is SCARY GOOD. Who would have thought one of the youngest teams in the NBA would be running over elite teams like Utah (Twice!), Denver, New Orleans and our DUBs.. not to mention, they didn't lose by much when facing D-Howard and the Magics. We'll have to see how far Portland can go especially when they go up against the Western Juggernauts like Phoenix, Dallas and San Antonio. But once Aldridge gets back into rotation, and guys like Roy and Outlaw keep playing at the level they're at, who knows what they'll be capable of.
Players to look for:
Travis Outlaw - Is this guy the MAN or what? Who would have thought Outlaw would step it up so big. This guy is an absolute Monstarr. I'd look for Outlaw to have a break out-season and maintain his hot hands
Brandon Roy - Aside from Aldridge's scoring power, Roy has been on fire this season. Averaging 18+ pts a game... and 5+ assists... I'd say this man right here is one of the major factors in Portland's current win-streak. I'd like to see Roy run the point more often, during the month of December, Roy has increased his assists getting about 7-11 assists per game. None-the-less, big ups to my man Brandon Roy. Carrying his team on his shoulders and takin off!
Roy: "Hey Aldridge... Oden... you guys take your time.. I GOT THIS

I wasn't expecting the blazers to be this good this early. But wow. They sure have surprised everyone. Winning against "sure to be" western playoff teams in the last few games. I think they'll sneak into the playoffs as the #7 or 8 seed and they will be way better next year when Oden debuts in the NBA. I'm scared warriors fans.
this blog is pretty cool guys, keep up the good work!
awwww. we lost... didnt get to watch the game. cant wait for the dubs to come back home so that I can catch the games.
unfortunately portland's streak is coming to an end tonight against the nuggests.
