The young Trailblazers are sitting at 20-29 on the season and are only 4.5 games behind the Denver Nuggets for the #8 spot in the Western Conference, which is amazing.  The Blazers are growing up quickly this season as they are 8-5 in games decided by three or less points this season!  The Blazers problem is that they don’t always come out totally focused as they are only 6-17 in games decided by 10 or more points, which makes you think that they give up when they fall behind early in a game.  Still, the Trailblazers are a team on the rise as most of their main players are just kids.  When they all grow up at the same time this team could be a title contender in the not to distant future.
