We're # 10! ........................We're #10!

Except I watched Ibaka during the summer league. He looked like the same old Ibaka to me.

Well that same old Ibaka is already good. He'll be able to handle more minutes this year more than likely, which will improve those #'s. Ibaka put up gaudy rebounding numbers for the PT he played while blocking shots. Most youngsters get better in the time period before training camp too.

I'm a Utah fan, and I can realize OKC is going to improve a lot, throw all hatred aside. Why can't Portland fans stop being homers and realize the same thing? I've never seen a 7-footer come back from a fractured knee cap or dislocated knee, and actually be the same player, let alone improve like many expect of Oden. Brandon Roy is injury prone too, so I would expect them to watch his minutes this year quite a bit too in attempt to keep him fresh for the playoffs.

If healthy the Blazers are one of the top 3 teams in the league.

If wealthy, the homeless all live in McMansions.
