SI article on the Trailblazers

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/chris_mannix/01/08/roy.blazers/index.html

Here's a nice nugget:

"Sensing a weakness in his pick-and-roll play, he spent the summer working with the SuperSonics' Luke Ridnour and Nick Collison in Seattle. Thanks to that work, Roy believes he is much more effective with the pull-up jump shot, while his assist total has increased from 4.0 to 5.6."

Great Find
That was a cool little article.

My personal favorite quote:

"We want to go out and try to shock some people. It's a little easier to try to perform when no one expects us to do well. No matter what we do, people are going to think we're overachieving. So we might as well do it."

Especially the last 2 lines!

"Might as well do it."
I LOVE THAT.  
Blessed are the flexible, for they never get bent out of shape.

Interesting piece
Jason Quick had pointed to an intense practice just prior to the San Antonio game as key to the Blazers' turnaround.  But it sounds like there were more fireworks--esp. from LMA--following that SA game (the last Blazer loss before the winning streak).
