“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Yes I am up here in the Pacific Northwest in Seattle, Washington. A city without a damn NBA team. Former home for 41 years of the Seattle Sonics. So I have to follow the NBA from a distance. And that hurts readers!

As I do this their is a team down I-5 called the Portland Trailblazers that at the time I am typing this blog who are 22-4 so far. So the question is when do we NBA fans start to take Portland serious? After all it is only December. Well in my opinion I think it is time to take Portland serious folks because the team is ballin! Real talk. They really are.

Led by a young fella who has ice in his veins. A player who ain’t afraid to take the final shot of a tight game. And last year was named NBA Rookie Of  The Year. His name is Damion Lillard. Two games in row he has hit game winning shots with no time on the clock. He acts like when he hits the shots like it ain’t nothing. Like he is suppose to do this all the time.

Also on the Trailblazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge is also putting up great numbers. And the team has vet Mo Williams coming off the bench adding fire power and Wes Matthews Jr. and others are playing great right now. So I think it is time for the sports world to take this team serious because they are playing like they have a chip on their shoulders. They want fans to realize that their is a team way up here in the Northwest that teams need to take very serious. And the name of the team is the Portland Trailblazers.
