Also, appears that Sloan likes the Blazers' chances to make the playoffs:

Asked if he considered the Blazers a playoff team this season, Sloan answered, "I don't think there's any question about that."

Awesome. I've always had respect for Jerry Sloan's teams, though I hated Malone and Stockton. But Sloan's a no-BS kind of a guy and will tell it like it is. Hope he's right!

I also like the previous quote from him before that one:

"We couldn't deal with them very much at all last year," Sloan said. "They waxed us every time we played them, practically. We have tremendous respect for the team they have."
