Spurs Still Lead Race.. By Far

Wow. It never gets old. Does the pac nw have an edict that requires one to spout idiotic phrases insesently before you can graduate middle school? (I would have said high school, but I didn't want to be presumptuous about people actually graduating high school up there).

I could actually see the Blazers pushing for a bottom half playoff spot if Oden shows himself to be the sort of player that scouts seem to think he will become. I'd be shocked if they didn't finish at least 3rd in the Northwest, and with the fragile bodies and egoes collected in Denver these days, it strikes me a reasonable to think that the Blazers might even finish 2nd in that division behind Utah.

The biggest thing Oden needs to prove is that he stay healthy and actually contribute for 25 minutes in 82 games.
