Serious idea. This could be his Z-Bo turning point. Whatever game plan Stotts conjured up needs to be thrown out the window. It hasn't worked and it will not magically start working. We may be lucky enough to win one game out of sheer pride and desperation but that's looking very unlikely at...

With Oladipo as their best player and they're in a far better cap situation. We are so far away from contending, it's not even funny. If we don't make a trade, we're going to stay stuck in no man's land.

As of now, we still only have two big-time players to build around. The jury is still out on Nurk. There's already quite a few threads about him so I'll try to leave him out of this discussion. Dame has made it known publicly time and time again that he plans on sticking around Portland for as...

So... I moved to Seattle this past year for work (it sucks) and I'm able to catch games on CSN, TNT or ESPN, but I have no way to access the KGW games, which happens to typically be against some of the biggest teams in the league. NBA league pass blacks out all Blazer games and of course the...

...we are very fortunate that we no longer have to face Dwight Howard. The man proved he is back to being the best center of this league, defensively and offensively and he was a headache to watch as he dominated every game. RoLo had some great moments in this series, but overall he was being...

New stat from ESPN, adding up Offensive +/- with Defensive +/-. Stats are stats, so take it for what it's worth. Explanation here Player rankings here Can't sort by team, but here's a quick low-down: Lillard is 13th best PG with a score of +2.73. He's the third best offensive PG at...

...because teams are starting to hone in. I've noticed people often say things like "these guys just went off making ridiculous shots" and granted, many of them are amazing shots. But there's also a psychological edge to it. They see the Blazers on their schedule and some PG's are salivating...

LMA was just laughing it off after he missed that shot. This wouldn't be the first time as I've noticed this is his usual reaction after missing game winners. And then the team huddled for a fist bump. They weren't marked by obvious frustration and anger like a Kobe-led or Durant-led teams would...

Dec. 26 vs Clippers L Dec. 28 vs Heat W Dec. 30 @ NO L Dec. 31 @ OKC L It's a possible 0-4 stretch there, so as much as I'd like to keep up the "let's get greedy" mindset, I'd happily take 2-2 but my prediction is 1-3. NO played us well tonight and we barely beat them. If we lose all...

Love that we're playing so well that it forces them to continue talking about us. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/64736/dont-tell-terry-stotts-this-cant-work?ex_cid=espnapi_public Portion of the article: Click the link to read Abbots' interview with Stotts where he responds...

http://forwardcenter.net/thorpe-lillard-ranked-third-among-sophomores-robinson-20th/ Can't make a strong case against Davis being #1. Didn't expect him to be such an efficient force on offense. Drummond should be fourth, in my opinion. Unless we're talking about potential, Bradley Beal has...

Realistically speaking, if the Rockets are shopping Asik and weren't just interested in cap space, we would not have the assets to make that trade outside of Alridge, Batum, and Lillard. I love Wesley, but he's not going to get it done. Let's say the Rockets got Dwight and were interested in...

18 PPG 8 APG 4 RPG All-Star PG and only 23 years old Wouldn't any of the top five teams in the draft in their right mind have traded their picks for this guy? Especially considering this is a draft without a single sure-fire All-Star. Jrue > Bennett, Oladipo, Porter, Zeller or Len. Am I...

Obviously, this stems from Lillard's game winner, though I won't complain in this instance since it was a make. I see it happen frequently in the NBA and from Lillard at least three times this season. If a game is tied up and you have the last shot, doesn't it make sense to go for either a drive...

Is this okay under the CBA? If so, let's do it! Who knows, maybe after we trade for Roy, we can lure Greg Oden to sign here in order to re-unite the big three... Joking aside, if this was even possible, would B-Roy even want to come back? He seems so cold toward Portland now. Just feels like...

What do you think is the right way to build the Blazers? Is the right way necessarily the best way? I find it so odd that everyone keeps saying that OKC is a team that was built "the right way" when they tanked majorly for Durant's first few years. Isn't that exactly what everyone is looking...

2009 - Rockets. They give us a 6 game beat down which was probably a lot worse than the results show. They go on to face the champion Lakers and push them to game 7 and could've won if Yao had not been injured 2010 - Suns. Everyone thought of the Suns as just another good offensive...

Honestly, I think these two are the best PF's in this upcoming generation. (Sorry K-Love gets no love here). I know it's going to come down to one or the other who will take the crown for best PF. We're kind of in a transition right now as Duncan, KG, and Gasol are riding off to the sunset...

Seriously though. First off, the commercials are just terrible. The logos are terrible. The video editors seem like they don't know how to use a decent software program. Honestly theres community college students at Mt. Hood that can produce more professional quality broadcasts. I also don't...
