    Are we just accounting for the loss of those two?
    Because Portland loses half their squad every year.

    I don't know, tough to call. Both have young talent. I'd have to call it a close tie.

    Portland had it so bad too man... but they could have drafted Durant so I'll give the edge to Houston.

    ....and Micheal Jordan. And when they finally get their guy, he has to retire in his 5th season and Oden may end up retiring at this point as well. Edge Portland.

    Roy is younger and still great when we was able to play so the immediate burn is much worse for Portland. However, I voted 'same' due to the sheer fact that between all the Yao injuries we've suffered through over the years, it all balances out.

    Both situations suck, needless to say.

    Blazers have also screwed themselves twice in the draft. They are the only franchise I would say has worse luck than the Rockets.

    They get TOO many breaks. That's their problem.
