Bit of a late night, huh?

I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

This actually makes sense.

I mean, the Blazers had far and away the toughest road to the playoffs. Western Conference, plenty of great teams they have to face time and time again, and they emerge with homecourt in the first round. Orlando and Boston are great, but they’ve arguably had an easier road on their side of the divide. It’s also interesting that the Blazers have managed to beat the L*kers and the Cavs haven’t. Huh, regular season thing or something more?

I don't think any team fears us

But we are playing amazing basketball right now.

Wow that is huge, probably due mainly to the fact that hollinger really looks at recent play and win margin, both have been great for us.

I hope I can get a bunch of championships, like 15. " - Greg Oden

I guess you could call it skewed

but we did blow those teams out. We’re talking good teams too, Lakers, Denver, Jazz, Spurs, and who else? I mean, our differential is high, but it’s high for a reason.

Highest margin over the last 10

of any team in the league. Over two points higher than the Cavs, who are in second for that stat.

Ducks Go!

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
