Rip City Giddy
December 12th, 2013Still seems a bit surreal.
Terry Stotts coach of the month. LaMarcus Aldridge twice player of the week. Damian Lillard giving any sophomore jinx the stink eye. And so much more.
18-4, Having hung a loss on each of the other three teams in the current “elite” won-loss tier.
No.1 in this weeks NBA Power Rankings for goodness sake.
Gosh. Golly. Giddy as a school boy.
It doesn’t matter whether the Trail Blazers have been deemed “real” by a sufficient amount of pundits. What’s real now is a Portland brand of basketball (It’s the team, stupid) executed by players that are coming together fast; with obvious enthusiasm and verve.
There is a certain hum about Rip City when we know we are again in the hunt… A vibrating Deja Vu of past days spent Red Hot and Rolling.
Ready for the Rockets.
