P.S. Well my time of the year is finally here. It is time for NBA training camps and then….the NBA season will start in October!!

And since our team here in Seattle, the Seattle Sonics are gone, I have to be a Portland Trailblazer fan since they are only 125 miles miles down the road and they have Seattle native Brandon Roy on the team and the head coach is “Mr. Sonic” Nate McMillan who spent years here in Seattle as a player and then head coach.

Portland will go places this season if center Greg Oden will improve his low post game. And gets a go to shot. Maybe a jump hook or a ten to fifteen footer. And also he has to block more shots and FINALLY he has to stay out of foul trouble. A big problem for him last season.

Oden has great potential in my opinion and others. It is time for him this season to show his potential because if he does not, the fans will Portland will think of two words…….Sam Bowie. Gordon Curvey
