BlazerMadness?

Granted, this is supposed to be a blog about Duke, but seeing Josh go to a Portland team that we once loved so much only to see them become the JailBlazer TrailGangsters but is now on the rebound, is a thrill.

I don't think Josh could have done better in the draft. He may have wanted to go earlier, but if Josh is going to excel, he's going to do it in a place where he doesn't have to be the number one guy in the middle. After Portland took Greg Oden, the Blazers became a perfect fit for Josh's game, and the fact that Greg and Josh are old friends is a bonus, too. In fact, Greg Oden has been keeping a blog and mentions Josh a few times.

Just don't expect perfect grammar - he only went to one year of college.
