I have been waiting to hear people say this

And oh man it feels so good. There are a number articles out there complaining, whining, and even bitterly making fun of the Blazers, STILL. One guy I saw on ESPN (I can't remember) suggested the Blazers might trade the pick!!!

Anyway, in the midst of some of that ridiculousness, I have seen a couple things that just make my heart start to pound. One was last night, in the comments about the lottery, some guy said (paraphrase) "oh they will be a nice team with Brandon Roy and Randolph" and then a few posts later the same guy says something like, "Oh wait, I forgot they had Aldridge too, wow, I am not even a Blazer fan, but I will pay to watch all those guys play together."

And on ESPN.Com, Chris Broussard tips his hat to the Blazers in his discussion of the draft, and even says,

" ...they already had perhaps the best young nucleus in the league with Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge, Jarrett Jack and Martell Webster.

The trio of Oden, Roy and Aldridge is going to be ridiculous."

Of course, whether it's Oden or not isn't set in stone, but still, isn't it NICE to hear people say that about the Blazers????
