It's here.
One of the most anticipated Blazer seasons in recent memory is finally upon us. It's been a long and dramatic off-season that included drafting three young guys, trading away fan favorites, participation in Eurobasket, dealing with replacement refs, and all the drama an NBA team can handle.
Actual basketball will be played this evening and there is no more room for prognosticating, predicting and prophesizing.
The Blazers opponent tonight? The same team that knocked them out of last years playoffs. But this Rockets team is very different. Injury losses to Yao Ming and Dikembe Mutombo, as well as the swap of Artest for Ariza. Plus McGrady still hasn't returned. You'll only recognize a few solid contributors and a few scrubs.
The Blazers are a better team and tonight will prove it. Portland has been through a tough playoff series loss. They also have their two best players locked up for five more years. Although chemistry concerns are swarming, the talent is undeniable. This team is ready to take the next step. Are you ready?
