The Foundation

So that's what life looks like without Z-bo:

Aldridge: 39 minutes, 25 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks.

Roy: 36 minutes, 19 points, 12 boards, 3 assists, 1 steal.

Sergio: 22 minutes, 9 points, 9 assists, 2 boards.

A nice win over a legit Eastern Conference contender, although it's not like that's a huge accomplishment, I think the Blazers might be a contender in the East. Anyway, nice win, kept Agent Zero at bay (again), and stopped a long losing streak. Nice game fellas.

Rehashing an earlier point, if the Blazers have the opportunity, they HAVE to take Greg Oden. You put him with The Foundation and trade Z-bo for a legit small forward and you've got yourself a title contender for a decade. Under that scenario, Rashard Lewis should be target number 1.

I need to add Jeff Green from Georgetown to my list of players that I like in the draft if the Blazers don't catch lightning in a bottle with the lottery. He's like Udoka with a more well rounded game on the offensive side of the floor.
