They are on quite a roll now though. On the season, they have beat Dallas, us, NO twice, Toronto, Denver twice, GS, Utah. |
Aldridge and Roy are the real thing. Outlaw has been around but still has a pretty decent game.
Portland though needs Oden to be considered a serious contender in the Western Conference. They are a weak rebounding team currently ranked 23rd. They are also a below average free throw shooting team and not a good offensive team, 20th in the league.
They are also very young with their top two players being very young. If Oden comes back and can play without spending a lot of time on the injured reserve list then they will have the nucleus of a very good team.
They have a decent chance at making the playoffs this year if Aldredge or Roy don't go down with an injury, but even if do make the playoffs this year, they should be eliminated in the first round.
