I'm so thrilled to be able to watch the Blazers again. Such a good bunch of guys, so talented and well-coached. Can't wait to see how this team grows. I'll throw up just a few links right now, since I'm coming down with a cold and need to get to bed.
Jason Quick wrote a good piece about Roy's leadership today in the Oregonian.
Unfortunately, we received some bad news today, just 24 hours before the season tips off at home against the Houston Rockets, the team that bounced the Blazers out of the playoffs last season: Nic Batum will be out 4-5 months, most likely, due to a torn labrum requiring surgery this Friday. Batum was penciled in as the starter at small forward this year, and the young second-year player is a great defender whose offensive game developed nicely this summer playing for the French national team. Martell Webster will start in his place, and the Portland depth is already proving invaluable.
Finally, be sure to check out this fantastic season's eve preview from Blazersedge, the finest Blazers blog out there.
Cheers, Rip City.
