I Might be Moving to Portland

It's official.

I just watched highlights of what is surely to be the most exciting and most intriguing team in the NBA this season in the Portland Trailblazers.

No it wasn't because of Greg Oden (who looked ok by the way) although his debut helped build up the hype.

It was everybody else in addition to Oden.

LaMarcus Aldridge is looking like a potential Hall of Fame player forward.

Rudy Fernandez is sharp and NBA ready. He will have a huge impact for the Blazers this season.

All of their youngsters are crisp and you can immediately see on display the high Basketball IQ's that every player on their roster has.

I know it was supposed to be just a pre-season game against the Sacramento Kings but you couldn't tell by the attendance. Over 19,000 fans turned out to see an exhibition game in Portland.

Sacramento was playing some good ball too.

It was a competitive game all the way into the second half when the Blazers began to dominate.

I got to tell you...the thought of being able to watch one of the best young teams in the NBA over the next 5-7 years has me entertaining the thought of moving to Portland.

Seriously.

I'd be willing to bet the city of Chicago saw a population increase thanks to Michael Jordan and the Bulls.

I wonder if there are any good IT jobs in Oregon.
