Say it loud and proud: The Portland Trail Blazers are the #1 team in the NBA.

Earlier tonight, the Indiana Pacers lost at home to the Detroit Pistons, causing their record to fall to 20-4 overall. This allowed idle Portland to leapfrog over them in the standings, yet another reminder of why David Aldridge called the Blazers "the story in the NBA this season".
