TrueHoop Believes!

Henry Abbot just posted a nice little story about the world beginning to believe the Blazers are less the lucky hosts of the much-desired shot fairy and more just a solid basketball team. I think we're all beginning to believe. Last night was a great gutsy win for this team. and 15 wins in the last 16 games sounds sooooo nice.

When doesn't Abbot believe in the Blazers?
He's the biggest homer out there (not that there is anything wrong with that).  But it is good to see his faith rewarded with the win in Chicago.

I haven't seen anybody
anywhere say we are lucky or that the streak was a fluke.  I don't understand where people are getting that.

I have heard people talk about home games, scheduling, reliance on perimeter shooting, and the general streakiness of young teams, all of which are valid caveats.

I don't know ANYBODY right now who is not saying Portland is a solid basketball team.
