Houston is 5 games under 500 and are missing what Yao Ming? Portland whole different story with Brandon Roy out, Oden, Camby, Miller, Pryzbilla, have all missed time. 5 different players have had knee surgery this season for the Blazers and we are not even at the all star break. For Portland to be 5 games over 500 and to be in the 8th seed close to a 7th seed out West is a amazing coaching job by Nate Mcmillian.
When Portland didn't have as many injuries, they were playing .500 ball. Not sure how someone gets the Coach of Year award by playing like that with mostly a healthy team...
If the Clippers finish .500 or a game or two away, Vinny Del Negro will be my choice. They playing some great ball after that horrendous start to the season...
