Yeah they're on a roll right now. Olshey brought in the perfect group of veterans for the Blazers...early on it's a terrific match for the young players from last year's roster. Robin Lopez has been great, Mo Williams and Dorell Wright have been playing well...even Earl Watson, when he's been pressed into playing time because of Williams' ejection and suspension has come up big.

The biggest thing I saw regarding how close this team is, was when Freeland and Bogut got into it the other night and Aldridge was one of the first ones to jump in there...grabbing people and going after Bogut...that's not really his M.O. At that point down by nine and losing both Williams and Matthews to ejections, the Blazers went on a 41-20 run, constantly going to Aldridge down low...they end up winning 113-101 and Aldridge finished with 30 and 21. Obviously early, but I really like what I see out of this team. I hope it continues so Aldridge sticks around.
