Brandon Roy is the key to the Blazers' attack
Portland was a bit of a disappointment last year. Setting the bar high in light of how much talent they have, the Blazers struggled with injury problems, losing Oden, Przybilla, and Brandon Roy for stretches of the season. The bar still remains high in Portland, as their depth and talent makes them a favorite in the West.
