Portland Trailblazers are hungry




With all the playoff talk in the NBA world today, people are speculating on which teams will do well and which won't. In the western conference, people mention the Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, San Antonio, or the Denver Nuggets. But with these last 2 weeks of the regular season, more and more are starting to realize that the Portland Trailblazers are FOR REAL. Last night, the Blazers made the Denver Nuggets look like a non-playoff team. They were up as many as 30 points at one point before the Blazers threw in their bench. The main aspect of their playing is that they are a non-selfish team. Even with Brandon Roy as the premiere player for them, they are always about team first. How is this for a stat, last night, the blazers bench scored 60 points. 60 points? Can a bench actually put up those types of numbers. That makes the whole playoff picture scary. People are overlooking the Blazers, but they might want to focus more on them because right now, they seem like a top team that will give others fits.

*Side note= Rudy Fernadez is BALLER. He set the record for most 3-pointers in a season for a rookie last night.
