Weeks ago we saw a  of Patty mills taking some shots with a cast on his leg. I think Patty Could be a great asset to the team once he gets healed. Yet, we haven't heard any news of him lately, how close is he to returning to full strength? Does he show up to games and practices? Patty has great potential and i would just like to know what he is up to.....

As we know Patrick Mills injured his foot before preseason even began. Patty is a fantastic but with the addition of Andre Miller, PG's are deep on the team. I'm sure Patty Mills is and will be a better player then Bayless......but will he ever get a chance to play in a blazers uniform? Or will we miss one of the best talents of the year? Does anyone have recent news on him?

We know Patty had a disappointing injury to his foot right before summer league and will even miss training camp this year. We just acquired Andre Miller and even if we shop Bayless or not we have a nice selection of Pg's. Do you think Patty will play this year? Will he ever Be A Blazer ? or will he never make it to the NBA? I really would like for him to excel because i think he had possibly more potential then any pg in the draft.

It looks more and more like Hedo is going to be a lock for us. But after hedo is there a chance we could still get another player? The person i had in mind was David Lee, who is a banger, crashes the boards (he is second after dwight howard) and is double-double machine (he had 65). The man is an undervalued beast!! Plus he is six years younger then Hedo..... If we manage to not get hedo, Lee is a viable option and possible a better one....

Here are the top scorers in the NBA. As you can see B.Roy is number twelve. This year he achieved an NBA second team award. My top would have to be:

1. (tie) Kobe and lebron

3. D.Wade

4. Chris Paul

5. Carmelo/ Granger 

Do you think B.Roy cracks the NBA top five? Is so why? And if not, why and will he ever?

With the rockets recent success it looks as if Tracy McGrady is well on his way out of Houston. Despite injury and perhaps attitude issues Tmac Is still a great player who can strengthen Portland’s SF or maybe even SG positions, coming off of the bench of course. Look at his recent stats.

The stats are great, does tmac have a chance in portland?

Do We Wish We Kept Von Wafer? We had Von last year, and now he is killin us as a Rocket. Wafer seems to make all the hard shots and hustles a ton. Von scores 7 more points a night in Houston then he did here. Is it because he's a better fit for them, or did we just miss a great opportunity? I think Von would be better then Batum as far as game impact.

Portland Must play  fast break basketball their next game. We have seen this in flashes throughout and it has proven effective. It will fix the slow and lethargic game we played Saturday night. Transition D is tough and the rockets will be less effective (it takes Yao out of the picture), Aaron Brooks is the only rocket who can make it up the floor like us and he isn't exactly a defensive powerhouse. If we plan on winning our series we must adapt quickly.
