Joe Becker: February 2009 ArchivesBy Joe Becker The Houston Rockets lost at Chicago 105-102 and that helps the Blazers. If the Blazers can Beat San Antonio Sunday at the Rose Garden the Blazers will pull even with Houston for the fourth playoff spot in the West. I'm not like a lot of people that feel the Blazers had to win at Houston or San Antonio this past week. Let's face facts, the good teams usually win at home, no matter, who they ar... By Joe Becker What a week for Blazers Guard Brandon Roy. First, he has another solid performance in the NBA All-Star game playing more minutes than any All-Star in the game with 31. He scored 14 points and had 5 rebs and 5 assists and the West won Big. Wednesday he led the Blazers to victory over Memphis 94-90 scoring 7 of the final 10 points to finish with 24 pts. Then Friday, 27 pts, 7 rebs and 5 assists lead... By Joe Becker
I can't remember a former Blazer getting booed as bad as Darius Miles during Wednesday night's game at the Rose Garden. Blazers fans let D-Miles hear it the whole night. "You could feel the tension when he came into the game," said Blazers Forward Travis Outlaw. "He came into the game I was like, he's definately going to get booed tonight,' laughing about it. Miles to... By Joe Becker Great All-Star game in Phoenix tonight. Not so close, but great action and very entertaining for the fans. A good dose of Shaq, Kobe, LeBron and the rest of the NBA Stars. Included in that group was the Blazers own Brandon Roy. Roy was solid as always hitting 7 of 8 shots. Many of them were dunks, but he did display his sweet jump shot. Brandon wound up playing 31 minu... By Joe Becker Blazers Guard Rudy Fernandez took part in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star Saturday. Fernandez paid tribute to former Blazer Fernando Martin, who was the first Spaniard to make it to the NBA. Sadly, Martin died in an auto accident in 1989. Rudy went behind his back off the backboard and then slammed it home. Nice Dunk, but the judges gave him a 42. Rudy gets so... By Joe Becker Blazers Center Greg Oden hurt his left knee last night in a loss at Golden St. and missed the Rookie Challenge in Phoenix as part of the NBA All-Star Weekend. Oden bumped knees with the Warriors Corey Maggette early in the 4th qtr. Greg did return later in the game, but he felt some discomfort. Oden underwent a precautionary MRI today. The Blazers released a statement saying t... By Joe Becker Blazers Center Greg Oden is going to miss the NBA Rookie Challenge tonight on Phoenix because of a sore left knee. Oden was hurt last night when he bumped knees with Corey Maggette in the 4th Qtr of the Blazers loss at Golden St. Greg was drafted in 2007 but was going to play with the Rookies because he missed all of last seson with a knee injury. ...By Joe Becker What a Blazers game today. First when it was 77-60 Blazers, I thought it would be an easy win. Then, after a 37-7 run for the Knicks, New York led 97-84 and I thought the Blazers were probably going to lose. Finally, four seconds and change left and the Blazers down one with the ball, I didn't know what to think. Brandon Roy gets the ball...drives to the hoop and lays in the gam... By Joe Becker In the last month, the Blazers have played 15 games in 9 different states. Head Coach Nate McMillan is coaching, watching video tape, running practices and traveling. It goes with the job. However, instead of Los Angeles, Chicago or Philadelphia....the coach found himself in Corvallis sitting right behind Arizona State's bench at Gill Coliseum. For one night, Coach McMillan was a fan...watchi... By Joe Becker The Blazers game at Oklahoma City was the first meeting between Blazers Center Greg Oden and Thunder Forward Kevin Durant. They were the 1st and 2nd players taken in the 2007 NBA Draft. So much hype and now they were playing against each other for the first time. The two players didn't really go head to head because they play different positions...but Durant definately had a much better ga... By Joe Becker The Blazers are raising ticket prices more than six percent for next season. However. the increase will not affect the fans in the upper bowl. Those prices will go unchanged. The club is sending out Renewal packets on Monday for Season Tickets. The packets will detail specific pricing information for each potential playoff series and for next season. The Blazers have sold out 50 st... |
