Nothing like a win in NY to get the Blazers some media attention!

We never went 58-24

 

My bad. Just looked it up, the year I thought we went 58-24 was the 54-28 season.

 

Hey, now, I copyrighted that on twitter last season. Ask 'Tone!

 

Silence is golden.

 

since boston put together a championship with "the big 3" the formula for success has been to over pay for an all star starting line up and fill the bench with ring whore veterans. the media of course eats it up because all stars are marketable and teams that can afford this formula are larger market who can bring in more advertising money.

everyone forgot that team ball and effort can win games. blazers chemistry is off the charts and getting better. lillard and aldridge are leading by example, mo is the first free agent guard in a while to actually play like a veteran guard that wants to win, batum is ignoring everyone who likes to hate on him and is just doing everything to win. freeland is easily most improved player. and last but not least, wesley's heart and sheer will is lighting a fire under everyone.

 

Repped, was about to post the same thing

 

Not sure what you're trying to prove. That's just the NYTimes beat writer for the Nets doing his regular story on the game. It's not a feature about Portland, so it's hardly an example of extra "media attention."

 

I interpret Sinobas here saying "Hey we're getting some easier wins, but last year we lost those should be easy games." That's the important thing here guys. We all know we're going to come back to reality, but we are beating the teams we should. Yes we have a good shot at beating great teams too.

 

For a lot of people in this country the NYT is our national newspaper. Even if this was local coverage for New Yorkers, the national dissemination enhances our visibility . . .

 

Uh, ok. But you are aware that the NYTimes covers EVERY game that the Blazers play against a New York team. They were going to cover this game with the Nets no matter what. It has nothing to do with our record, or us getting extra "love" from the national media.

When the national media says the same as the local media, that doesn't corroborate the local media, because the articles are not independently sourced. The national writer gets his information from reading the local writers. National inaccurate overstatements repeat local melodramatic stupidities.
