My poor Portland Trailblazers have had a very rough season thus far. There is so much talent and genuinely good chemistry on the team. They are athletic, unselfish, and boy can they play some basketball! They continue to fight with the Denver McNuggets for the lead in the Northwest Division of the NBA, and all of this despite the fact that they have been plagued with injuries and illnesses.
Now I don't mean that just one or two key guys have gone down for a bit. My Trailblazers have lost up to seven guys at any one time during this season thus far, and that doesn't include a short stint where even Coach McMillan was out sick. Too make matters worse, it would look like our two centers, Przybilla and Oden are out for the entire season with their injuries.
It is enough to make a grown man cry, even though the last time I did that was when the evil Bulls cheated and beat the mighty Trailblazers in the NBA Finals back in the 90's.
As of right now the Blazers are still without Batum, Przybilla, Oden, Fernandez, Blake, Outlaw, and Aldridge. Despite this they still have a respectable record and have managed to beat some very good teams along the way, their current two losses to scrub teams notwithstanding.
Anyway, several of these guys are on the mend and set to return soon. Once they do, the Western Conference had better watch out because I suspect things will be back on track in Rip City!

You had better be referring to a candy bar with that comment, ma'am! :)
