Deadspin's Blazer preview

I'm not usually a fan of Deadspin, but this was okay. No earth shattering predictions or news, but some solid stats in there.

like: "Last season, Portland was ranked dead last in fast break points (7.9 per game). They were also last in points in the point (31.2)."

Actually I think this is one of the most accurate preview of the Blazers I've seen so far, IMO.

One of the better previews

It includes a nice rundown of what we need to improve this year versus last year if we hope to make the playoffs. “… 30th in steals (5.5 per game), 29th in forcing turnovers (12.5), 27th in scoring (95.4), 26th in free throw attempts (22.5), 21st in blocks (4.4), 20th in field goal percentage (.448), 20th in rebound differential (-1.01) and 18th in assists (21.1). … Last season, Portland was ranked dead last in fast break points (7.9 per game). They were also last in points in the point (31.2).”

Clearing Room For The Blazers Out West

As the playoff picture begins to take shape it becomes clear that the Western Conference is one big game of musical chairs. There are nine viable playoff teams; unfortunately there are only eight playoff spots. For the Blazers to get a spot, one of last year's playoff teams needs to fall off. Someone's going to be caught standing when the music stops. The following are possible scenarios that could derail each team on their quest for playoff glory, helping the Blazers get back to the postseason for the first time since 2003.
