One of the biggest stories this weekend was the turnabout by Free Agent Forward Hedo Turkoglu. He had an agreement with the Blazers and then turned around and decided to go to Toronto. Apparently, his wife likes Toronto. I'm sure if Hedo and his wife moved here he would love the Rose City. However, I he really should do what he feels is best for him. ... By Joe Becker The NBA Draft is now less than a week away and the Blazers worked out six more players at the practice facility. One of them, Guard Jeremy Pargo of Gonzaga, is back for his second workout in six weeks. Pargo is more than just excited about the draft. "I'm scared," said Pargo, "Oh my god.

They played hard and played well and came oh so close to winning. They lost two games by a total of four points.

The Playoffs are a whole new ballgame. The big question now is, How do the Blazers respond? They can still make this a great series. Very rarely does the home team win every game in a series.&n... By Joe Becker The Blazers have two games left in the regular season and then its Playoff Time. They don't know where they are going to finish exactly, anywhere from two to five in the west, and they don't know if they are going to have home court advantage. I think it would be great to have home court advantage...but the way the Blazers are playing right now, I think they will be ok against any team in the west. ...

That puts the Blazers in the post season for the first time in six years. You can see today's game on KGW Newschannel 8 at 4pm. The blazers have 7 games left in the season including the one today in Houston. ...By Joe Becker The Blazers just blew out the Oklahoma City Thunder 107-72. LaMarcus Aldridge had 35 points and 18 rebs. The Blazers have now won four straight games by more than 20 points. That's the first time that has happened in more than 30 years.
