The two most worrisome numbers to me? 29th in the league in defending against "points in the paint" (52 per game, over four games). And last in...
One thing about Robin Lopez and rebounding that'll be interesting to watch is this: there were analysts saying at the time of the trade that Lopez'...
Allen Iverson is one of the best players in recent history not to win a ring. He led a 76ers team to the NBA Finals that wouldn't have made the...
I wonder what else is in the book to back up this claim (in the article, it all appears to stem from one FBI informant). There's barely enough here...
I was never a Stockton fan - him and Malone always drove me crazy - but this video is awesome. Love the fan gawking about having seen Charles...
T-Mac was an amazing offensive player. Could shoot from the outside, could create his own shot any time he wanted, could get to the foul line any...
Now we can actually do something, like get bounced in the first round, a year later. No, the reason the Blazers tanked is because they had no...
Huh. Thought he was here longer than that. Was my early days following the Blazers... I guess I come away thinking any Top 50 list that has Ruben...
That list is awful. Kermit Washington certainly merits a higher ranking than #42. Ruben Patterson at #40 shouldn't be on the list. Neither...
Just because "we" tanked, doesn't mean "we" are all of a sudden capable of stepping up in March and April and playing the way playoff contenders need...
Thanks for posting that. My read of those is that the two are pretty close statistically, but that Batum is the slightly better player. Wright has an...
"... don't think we can take any lessons at all from what happened at the end of last season"...? I would agree that we shouldn't take much from...
I think Batum will actually get better, if Wright can play significant minutes. The rest and lower likelihood of injury (minor or major) should help...
I was 50/50 on the Blazers making the playoffs before Mo Williams. I'm 70/30 now. There were a lot of roster changes, and while they're ALL...
1.) Lopez: the only starter in the bunch, and enormously important in terms of holding down the defensive interior and allowing Aldridge to defend...
I don't know if it's a good thing for the NBA. But two things: 1.) It's a good thing for me, as a fan of the present-day Portland Trail...
Oden was an outstanding talent coming out of Ohio State. He was dominant in the NCAA tournament like few players have ever been. With little talent...
I wouldn't mind having one more serviceable center. Lopez and Leonard are legit centers, but Freeland is much more of a power forward, and if...
Last season, I expected the Blazers to win around 40-45 games - which they were on pace to do, until the Big Tank came in March. The upcoming...
Seems to me the Blazers have space for one more big, and that could be JJ Hickson, if no one offers him more than what the Blazers have left. But...
