Blazers 2009-2010 Season Recap and Forecast

Recap:

Two big men with season ending injuries: Joel Pryzbilla and Greg Oden
Roy comes back after 8 days from MCL surgery in the playoffs.
Steve Blake traded :(
Juwan Howard actually playing when signed as a "mentor".
W-L Record (50-32).

Who would have thought the Blazers would be the 6th seed in playoffs this season?

Forecast:
Nate McMillan. Its going to have to be a make or break year for McMillan, next year will be Coach McMillan's 6th season, if the Blazers don't make it out of the 1st round, I dont think he's sticking around.

Greg Oden, you need to stay health for at least 60 games. Actually you should only play 60 games, you get a game off every 3 out of 4 games. Also you are required to wear the largest knee braces/pads legally permitted. If you don't make it through this season you might be forgot Darko Milicic style, at least Rasheed isn't around to make fun of you. He would have had plenty of ammo since you do have pictures of you naked on the internet.

More Offense! They say defense wins championships, but really its scoring more points that the other team. Half way there with the West's best defense, couple this with some better offense and the Blazers are advancing to the second round. McMillan coaching and a consistent roster (no injuries) is what is needed to bolster this improvement.

Good thing it is baseball season now and I can blog about a game that no one actually understands.
