Allow me at this time to jump off of the Trail Blazers wagon, and promptly jump on the Toronto Raptors. Sure the Blazers will still be a decent team (look what they did in the first half last year without Oden), and after Oden comes back they will be better.But I have seen the light in Toronto. After Chris Bosh's time in Beijing, and acquiring Jermaine O'Neal, the Raptors are ready to roll this year. Bosh started the year off right with 27 points and 11 rebounds while the healthy O'Neal chipped in 17 and 8.
People keep forgetting that O'Neal is only 30, and Bosh is still morphing into one of the leagues best. The only direction for this team is up, and it looks like that's where they're heading.
