By Craig Edwards It's a busy time down at the Blazers' practice facility, as they work out prospects before the NBA Draft. All sorts of names have visited Tualatin. But one name that hasn't worked out for the team is stirring up all kinds of debate.... Kevin Love. The Blazers have invited the former Lake Oswego star to work out prior to the draft, but as of this writing, he has yet to RSVP. For some... By Joe Becker
So what do you think? Which is better? The NCAA Basketball Tournament or the NBA Playoffs? I love them both...but I prefer the NBA Playoffs. It's the Celtics and the Lakers in the Finals and it's going to be great. The first week of the NCAA Tournament is fantastic...and office pools are fun, but the intensity of the NBA Playoffs is tough to beat. <... By Craig Edwards Lightning did not strike twice for the Blazers. After hitting the Draft Lottery jackpot in 2007, Portland heard its name called early in the 2008 proceedings. They're scheduled to pick 13th this year... emphasis on the "scheduled." GM Kevin Pritchard and company have a lot of options with their pick. They can hold position, and draft for need and depth. They can trade the pick for a veteran or fut... By Joe Becker Congratulations to the Blazers! They beat Dallas 108-105 for thier 40th win of the season. Obviously, Head Coach Nate McMillan is pretty pumped up..."It feels sweet"...said McMillan after the game, "It's great to see 40. I haven... By Joe Becker The Blazers say they hope to know soon how things went when Darius Miles had his right knee examined last month by an independent Dr. Darius underwent microfracture surgery on his knee in December of 2005. He has been rehabbing ever since. If the Dr. and the NBA rule that miles injury is career ending...then his salary wouldn't count against the cap. The Blazers say they will probably know something ... By Joe Becker Blazers forward Martell Webster spent the night in the hospital and tests revealed an irregular heartbeat. Webster experienced flu-like symptoms and dizziness on Thursday and was taken to the hospital. He spent the night for observation. Webster is out of the hospital, but will miss Sunday's game with the Spurs. He is scheduled to see the team's cardiologist early next week. ...By Adam Bjaranson The Blazers are sure streaky, aren't they? I guess that's one of the traits of a young team. But on Tuesday against the 'Arenas-less' Wizards...the Blazers showed signs of late season life. In the absence of Brandon Roy (who suffered a strained groin at the end of the 1st quarter), and LaMarcus Aldridge, (who was out with a sprained ankle suffered during Monday's loss to the Sonics), Portland shot lights out ... By Joe Becker Great weekend of basketball in the NBA. How about the Western Conference. Only 4 and a half games separate 1st and the 8th and final playoff spot. A slump could cost any team a post season berth. The Blazers posted another exciting victory this weekend.. They beat the Knicks in New York on Saturday and now have 33 wins...one more than all of last year. They need to go 9-10 over the last 19 games to finis... by Adam Bjaranson After winning an NBA best 13-straight games in the month of December....the Blazers have reversed course. They've lost 7 of their last 8...and 11 of their last 15. And today comes news that their "do it all" guard Brandon Roy will be out for at least the next 2 games. Here's the release from the Blazers today: Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy did not accompany the team to Los Angeles, and wil... By Joe Becker What a weekend for Blazers Guard Brandon Roy and Blazers fans. Blazer fans have waited 7 years for an All-Star and Brandon is about as good and classy as you get. Brandon played in both the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star game and he actually had better stats in the All-Star game. Friday the sophmores beat the rookies 136-109. Brandon had 17 pts, 2 rebs and 7 assists. The West lost to the East in the All-S... |
