Do they ever pay attention to anything other than themselves? Damn selfish people.

ARE YOU JOKING ???

If this guy stays healthy he has Hall of Fame written all over him.

Did you not watch the the NCAA Title game where 2 lottery picks, a 2nd rounder, and a future first rounder were completely helpless against him.

For the Spurs, every Phoenix and Dallas game is an automatic sellout while Portland isn't so I see it as a benifit to them to face the trailblazers on opening night.

And a reason the NBA might schedule Portland is because, health permitting, they are the Spurs of tomorrow. It makes sense to have Oden, Roy, and Aldridge present as we get our rings and the banner raised.

Give them a taste of what their future holds if they work hard enough...
