Portland is very inconsistent, lose five, and win eight. The game tonight against the Raptors will hopefully become the ninth straight victory, fourteenth on the season. The Trailblazers desire a playoff spot but what will become of a team who can't prove consistency. My question to all fellow writers; are they a true playoff contender? With Roy and Aldridge playing as astonishing as they are my bet is; the season will be a success.

This is great news for Portland. I'm not sure if they are contenders yet, but good to see a team dig deep and play the game. Good stuff for the 'Blazers.

I like the way the Blazers have jelled so far. I do see them making the playoffs this year. With the addition of a healthy Oden, next year could be a potential contending year.
