These three along with the late addition of TJ Ford were the heart and soul of the Portland Trailblazers, going from the team with the number one pick in the draft to a very respectable 43-39 record and nearly taking the 8th seed in the playoffs. These players however know that it's just a matter of time before they develop into one of the better teams in the league and it's showing in their confidence, just like this quote from Brandon Roy. "This year compared to last year is completely different. LaMarcus has really came into his own here this past year playing with senior citizen Greg Oden by his side and when we got Ford, it took off. Kapono was injured when he came on board and never really got on track, but with the draft coming up and this team getting a chance to play as a unit even longer, I'd honestly be shocked if we aren't in the playoffs next year." The confidence that this team has in each other shows through in just how the team acts. From jokingly trying to get discounts for Oden's food at resturants to playing jokes on each other during flights, this team has just become ten times closer. Truthfully, I think everyone will be surprised if this team doesn't make the playoffs next season, but no one knows what the future holds.
