41-41

Well, it isn't the 42 I was hoping for but it's pretty darn good all things considered. Not many people expected the Blazers to have a .500 season. Congratulations guys. Great great season! The 13 game winning streak was the BEST!

I was angry to see Jarrett Jack get tossed out of the Phoenix game. Yes, he was clearing space with his arm but he did NOT throw any punches. I was angry with Skinner for being a jerk. I don't recall that sort of behavior from him when he was a Blazer. Oh well, it's over now. I'm glad that it happend in PHX and not at the final home game.

Now it's time to ponder the future. Who will stay? Who will go? I don't want to speculate just yet. The draft is next and that is going to be very interesting and possibly telling of what direction Pritchard will ultimately decide to go. Will he draft point guards? Centers? PF's? Shooting guards? Pritchard will likely go for the best player at each draft point, as he should. If ever a man had a stacked deck, Kevin Pritchard does. I think KP has become one of the most powerful men in the NBA.

Imagine if the Blazers somehow, miraculously, get the #1 pick again? Could it happen? Would it? Kevin Pritchard seems to be the "chosen one" as of late. Don't be shocked if that little ping pong ball shines the light on KP once again. of course, the odds aren't in our favor, but then again, were they last year?

Hmmmmm....

....and the number one pick in the 2008 NBA draft goes to......

GO BLAZERS!

P.S. Tiny prediction: Dallas doesn't get past the first round. Avery is fired. Brown becomes new Dallas coach.
