30 Teams / 30 Hours: More Than GODE’s Sidekick

You know, one can never have too many NBA season previews. (That’s a lie.) Which is why we present a new series to add to the list: The Basketball Jones’ 30 Teams in 30 Hours NBA Season Preview. Yup. It is what it is.

4:00p / Portland Trail Blazers: One good thing - if there truly are any - that can come out of Greg Oden going down, is the fact Brandon Roy will have much of the spotlight this season in Oregon. It’s time to appreciate this guy’s game. I watched him only a hand full of times through his injury riddled campaign, but each time I was left thinking, man, he can do so much. His craftiness reminds me a bit of Pippen, the way he quickly squirms in to gaps in the lane. Nothing crazy athletic about him, just a knack for quickly dissecting what’s in his view. He wasn’t talked about enough last season in my opinion, even though he captured the ROY. This year will be different.

    Martell Webster is going to have a breakout year, along with LMA. A lot was made of the blazers passing over Chris Paul for Webster in Portland, but this year Martell has been stroking it in preseason and has won the starting SF spot. Look for him to be a good contributor to Roy and co.

    I don’t mean to take away from the rest of the team. When I was writing this, I was actually getting a little giddy about the Blazers’ future. So many promising players. And, watching them play right now, it’s easy to see why Portland fans are jacked.
