Portland @ LA Lakers

7:30pm TV: TNT

Tonight marks the start of a very anticipated Portland Trailblazers season. Although the Blazers will be one of the youngest teams in the NBA (again), fans of the Red & Black see this team as one who has potential to take a giant leap in the league standings.

Last season after gaining the #1 overall selection in the draft, the club picked college superstar Greg Oden from Ohio State. Unfortunately his first professional season was delayed due to injury, but now Oden is back and ready to establish himself in the league.


Even without the potential NBA Rookie of the Year and a future NBA Superstar the team finished in it's best position in many years, (no longer the Jail Blazers, thank you!) instead of being dead last the team finished dead even in the win, loss category a year ago.

More is expected this season with the addition of Spanish superstar Rudy Fernandez and the surprising 19 year old kid from France, Nicolas Batum. This team is young and damb good.

RIP CITY
