Are the Blazers arriving sooner than expected?
Steve Blake's three with eight seconds to go in Toronto gave Portland the win, there 7th out of the last 8.
They currently hold the number four spot in both the Hollinger and ESPN power rankings and lead the northwest division by a half game over the Billups lead Nuggets.
Everybody knew Portland would be good eventually, GM Kevin Pritchard is doing an amazing job of spending Paul Allen's money, their remarkably young and talented core of Roy, Oden , Aldgridge and Fernandez is the envy of the league, but not many were predicting or expecting these kind of results so quick.
Is this just a hot start for a young team or are they serving notice to the rest of the league they're for real?
All I know is the West looks to be in good hands for the next 5 to 6 years.
