Why do no "Experts" pick the Blazers to win the West?




I suppose this is most meant to go out to my fellow Blazer fans who believe in the theory that this team is good enough to win titles as is. I really like a lot about this team, but if one were to ask me whether I would be willing to bet that we will win the West, I sadly cannot and neither can even one of ESPN's "Experts" http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=SummerForecast10-WestChamps

I had too many years of one and done as a Blazer fan to feel it is wise to stand pat at this point. I am not asking for a slash and burn type of gutting of our team, but some well placed consolidation moves not involving Roy or Oden would seem reasonable to me. At 37, I can barely remember a thing about '77 obviously and it's damn time we get another parade up in Portland.
