I think the story of the playoffs this year should be Gerald wallace's aquisition by the trail blazers I rate that transaction right up there with the pau gasol trade, of course memphis sort of made up with the addition of tony allen, anyway I think portland has their work cut out for them but I think they have a shot against any team I am a suns fan and watch Portland with much admiration in the first round againt the suns last season. I think wallace gives portland what they have needed a tough veteran leader, If Roy Can contribute at all thats a bonus, if Oden was healthy their a finalist for sure, if this unit gets past Dallas ( dallas has been known to choke), They have a shot because they play well against the other teams in the west, they have LA's number, Denvers still good but Not a real threat, san antoinio can be beat teams just have to make up their minds to do it, Memphis could be trouble in a couple of years if they dont trade/ screw up again. the only team I think might be unstopable is Chicago they are going far
