The Blazers are 10-6. Tied for 3rd in the west by record. 1 game out of 1st place in the NW division. All while playing the toughest opening schedule of any team out there, with a majority of the games on the road.

So for all you folks out there bitchin about Aldridge, Oden, playing time, Roy, Rudy, Blake, Sergio or whatever the hell your bitchin about, this is for you. Pull your head out of your ass, and think about the times when the Blazers had guys like Bassy, Zbo, Viktor Kryapa and other players I would rather forget about starting and getting their teeth kicked in nightly.

We have it good right now, and getting better.

Happy Thanksgiving.

They're also 6th in the NBA for average margin of victory (+4.4), and only one of two teams who are undefeated at home. They're averaging their lowest opponents' scoring total since the 2003-04 season, and averaging their highest offensive scoring total since the 1996-97 season.

Now that is impressive.

Did the Blazers even have a blowout last season? I'm talking over 20 points.

Just think about the journey this team has taken us on. Three years of "potential" and "change" to now. Very awesome time to be a Blazer fan!

Sergio: Second in the league in assists/minute, behind only Chris Paul.

Sergio: Second in the league in assists/minute, behind only Chris Paul.

I have to say his production this year with extended minutes has been quite nice. He still can shoot a fish in a barrel, but he doesn't have to when Rudy or Joel or Martell can flush it down whenever he gets the ball remotely close to the rim!

In short, I'm glad he's on the team this year.

Now that is impressive.

And to think, you had us starting 5-13 and losing to Minny.

I had them winning 6 games though November too. Sometimes it is good to be wrong. Once we get through this tough stretch we just have to avoid playing down to the level of our opponents.
