      <![CDATA[Totally.  And throw in the fact that Oden's still trying to get into shape and will likely be in foul trouble while he adjusts to the NBA...  doesn't look good right now.  That will, of course, change quickly, but people need to be ready for a bit of a let down during the first part of the season.<br>
<br>
Works out well for me, though.  The shittier the record, the less competition I'll have from coworkers for our company's tickets each game.

      <![CDATA[JustinS is right. The schedule is brutal. I think 8 of the first 11 are on the road and almost all of those games are against playoff teams. It's going to get ugly before it gets nice.

      <![CDATA[As a recent L.A.-to-Portland transplant and a fervent Laker fan, I am looking forward to a good but ultimately soul-crushing game for the Blazers. <br>
<br>
May your collective heart taste fresh when it is ripped from your chest and eaten in front of you tonight, Portland.
