before jamarcus russle you guys had jack shit going for your squad.... mean while we had rookie of the year and another 1st team all rookie and an inspiring young point guard in sergio R. add greg oden and the departure of Z-Bo and other off season moves, yeah playoffs actually makes sense to talk about when mentioning the blazers. on the other hand the raiders, it doesn't make sense
You honestly think the Blazer are in the top 8 of 16 teams in the West?
Spurs
Dallas
Suns
Lakers
Rockets
Jazz
Nuggets
Warriors
Hornets
Clippers (before brands injury)
would all make the playoffs this before Portland would this year.....Portland is like the 11th best team in the West Confernce.
And its hard to compare besketball and football teams.....but the Raiders actually had the 3rd best defense in the league. I dont think portland had 3rd best anything last year.
Its like when the Niners went 2-14 and drafted Alex Smith that year. I was all excited and knew we were going to make the playoffs in the future, but I sure as ehll couldnt talk about it that year, because they were one of the worst teams in the league. It took the Niners 3 years to even be involved in any playoff talk. Im just saying let them prove something before the playoff talk.
