There may be something brewing in Portland as things seem to be clicking for them on all cylinders at 4-1. The Blazers may have solidified themselves as a threat in a test against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Blazers handed the Kevin Durant lead Thunder their first loss of the season last night 103-93 . With key acquisitions of Raymond Felton as well as Jamal Crawford this revamped Portland team could mirror last year's Mempthis Grizzlies.
LaMarcus Aldridge lead the way with 30 points last night and is starting to become one of the better skilled big men in the league. Wesley Matthews has become a solid two guard and has maintained his starting role. They also have All Star Gerald Wallace who also is finding his way with this team with his rebounding and gritty defense. This team has the ability to score in bunches as well as lock down on defense combined with athleticism. If Greg Oden could put together a healthy season the Blazers could be a legit championship contender. Keep your eyes on this squad they could be an entertaining team to watch this upcoming season.
