Blazers move up 8 spots in ESPN Power Rankings

6 Portland
3-1
Last Week: 14

It's cold to say it out loud but undeniably true: Portland plays faster in the post-Roy era. It's early, obviously, but the Blazers have been a lot more watchable. Especially with Matthews, Felton and Crawford all scoring 20-plus against Denver.

Denver 4th? Really?

Sagarin has the Blazers ranked #2. I'm not see'n it, but I guess we'll know soon enough.

He also has Denver at #4. He has the Thunder and Heat at #8 & #9, based on strength of schedule.

Go Blazers

so the key is to lose games by playing crappy!

With how this team plays, the championship is in the cards folks!
