46. – scary team, 1-5.

Good bye Coby Karl, George’s son. He was like a mascot to us, and I think this summer really cost him.

Sorry Kwame, I can’t laugh when I hear their announcers.

Up here in Oregon, every Laker-Blazer game is with the local announcers, unless it is on national tv (Season Pass is blacked out). I can’t stand that Mike Rice – and both he and the play by play guy go on and on about the refs, Kobe yelling at teamates, and PJ on his “throne”, etc. . Awful.

Inwit-You are 100% right about that last point. The Blazers just plain hate the Lakers, all the way down to their announcers who are very fun to listen to if you want to here some quality homer analysis. The Blazers, Kings, Spurs, Clippers, Celtics, Jazz, Nuggets, Suns,all view the Lakers as their primary rival or object of hate. It makes those teams get up for those games.

Portland has added alot of talent from last year – it won’t be easy getting everybody on the same page – last year was easier because it all revolved around Roy. This year with Oden, Fernandez and Bayless, it will be much more complicated.

Also they are so young – talented young players sometimes have problems accepting a role, but still, the upside is very high.

And the Blazers ALWAYS play the Lakers tough.

My predictions rest on the Lakers having a phenomenal season (which is not completely out of the question) which will be hard for the voters to ignore:

MVP: Kobe Bryant
MIP: Rodney Stuckey
6th Man: JR Smith
ROY: Derrick Rose
COY: Phil Jackson
DPOY: Ron Artest

MVP: LeBron (He is going to dominate the east this year)

MIP: Al Thorton (BD will give him tons of buckets. The Clippers will be better than everyone thinks.)

6th Man: Our boy, LO

ROY: Brook Lopez (Ok, stop laughing)

COY: Erik Spoelstra (Miami has Beasley, Wade, Marion in contract year)

DPOY: Artest, that defense is going to be nasty if Mt Motumbo can still lurch around.

I like Roy, but I don’t know if his body is made to hold up through an 82 game season. I like Aldridge, but he is not gonna get easy, close looks in the 4th qtr. I like all the various wing talent and perimeter talent they have. I’m just not sure how they matchup with the top 5-LA,Houston, NO, Utah, SA,-in the West, not to mention Phoenix and Dallas. I don’t doubt they CAN be good, but I’m not quite sure why everyone (ala Dallas Cowboys) is ready to annoint an unproven team title-contender status. They are a bottom half playoff team this year, as of right now at least.
