I think we will be in the playoffs but if we are a seed 7, 8 I dont have high hopes for getting to the second round.

I wonder if Freeland could get TRobs minutes at the 4. I think he's shown enough to at least warrant a test drive.

He already has. Last game he got his 2nd half minutes from what i could tell. I can see Stotts giving TRob minutes in the first half and depending on how the game is going deciding whether or not to shrink his bench in the 2nd half.
 
It's not like TRob has been horrible. He's had a few stretches of solid minutes, but he's definitely raw. I think he's worth developing though.
 
I think we will make the playoffs. We have a legit bench, a real center, and lets face it, there are a lot of mediocre teams out there. The big question for me is will Aldridge and Lillard play defense. Aldridge seems to not have a problem jacking it up this year... and that is great, he is a potent weapon, but will he have the same desire on D? Not sure. Same with Lillard... even in the wins I have seen them walking through a bit on D.

I still think Blazer fans may underappreciate what a gem Lillard is. Maybe our hearts are still broken from Roy and Oden to be willing to invest what we should in Lillard, but the guy is money.
