Adam Bjaranson: February 2009 ArchivesAlright, this was a game that Portland should have won. Show a little fight on the road already! This is as close to crunch time as it will get fellas! The Blazers lost for the 11th straight time in San Antonio tonight, 99-84. Mind you, the Spurs were without two of three best players (Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili). Still, Portland allowed Tony Parker to do anything and everythin... The Blazers found the going tough in Houston tonight... losing 98 to 94. They did make a spirited run late, but it was the early hole they dug, that they weren't able to pull themselves out of. In the process, Portland and the Rockets swap spots in the Western Conference standings. In other words, if the season ended today... Houston (now the 4th seed) would host Portland (5th seed) in the fir...
Do they, or don't they? That continues to be the ultimate question in the City of Portland these next few days. The Blazer brass has less than two days to see if there's a deal that they simply can't refuse. And the longer they wait, the more I believe some team will fold and unload a player that Kevin Pritchard covets. In my opinion, I'd prefer Gerald Wallace or Richard Jefferson.&nb...
I'm a Blazers fan...have been since the days of Carr, Cooper, Valentine and Paxson. I've always rooted against the Sonics (er, Thunder) when they were in Seattle. It's in the blood of nearly every Blazers fan. But tonight I found myself feeling a little sorry for them. I kept thinking what a punk move it was by Stern and Bennett to move 'em to OKC. A couple hundred (that were visual to me) ... It's the age old question this time of year... should the Blazers make a move before the NBA's trade deadline (Feb.19). To be honest, I lean a little each way. Do I think they could upgrade their roster with one brisk move? The answser is an unequivocal YES!! But, there's something about this current roster that I believe can develop further. However, it simply can't come at the expen... The Blazers just don't do well in Dallas. Wednesday night they gave it their best shot at another late comeback, but came up short 104-99. That is Portland's 17th loss in their last 19 visits to the home of the Mavericks. It was an opportunity missed for the young guns. The Suns, Rockets, and Hornets all lost. The Blazers are still in 4th place in the Western Conference... and have tw... By Adam Bjaranson The stage was Jerryd Bayless' for the taking on Monday night. And the 20-year-old Blazer rookie was as stellar as he has been all season. We can't base the entire body of work on one game, but when Bayless gets a shot, he often comes through with something rather impressive. I'm the first to admit that Bayless has an enormous ceiling as far as talent. We know he has ... |
