Henry Abbott of TrueHoop.com chose to "sell" when asked to "buy or sell" the Portland Trail Blazers being able to maintain their conference-leading hot start. ------------------------------- Sell. The team is in the pack among the West's better teams, but not ahead of it. All those long, active, handsy guys -- Gerald Wallace, Marcus Camby, LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, Wesley Matthews -- are doing a nice job hassling anyone who tries to drive into the paint, which led to quality wins over the Thunder and Nuggets. But that West-leading record includes two cupcake wins, and they're also tied for first in rest days to date. ------------------------------- The other four panelists asked to gauge Portland's start cast "buy" votes. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
