TRAIL BLAZERS RUMORS & GOSSIP

No Bust Here: The Sad Story of Greg Oden

Greg Oden underwent microfracture surgery number two on his left knee and his third overall. It’s really not looking good for him right now. He says he has no plans to retire, he is just 24, after all, but it’s tough to imagine him making it back from this. While it is unfortunate that Oden has met yet another setback when it comes to his health, I find it troubling that...

Blazers close first half of the season on a high note

No Duncan, no Parker, and no Ginobili means no problem for Portland. A day after setting lows for points in a quarter, the Blazers bounced right back and set a first quarter high of 41 points. That’s a 585% increase in the first quarter in just 24 hours! They followed with a halftime season high of 66, and a game high 137 points. To get to 137 points in regulation you need...

Portland Trail Blazers Nate McMillan’s popularity wilts in the rain

Once Considered a Savior, Blazers Coach Nate McMillian is Unfairly Criticized for Blazers Play In the Rose City, the love affair with Coach Nate McMillan has started to wilt as the petals of support have fallen with the sudden torrential downpour of ugly losses at the Rose Garden and away from it. “Fire Nate” has become a trendy phrase to use in the coffee shops, sports...

VID: LaMarcus Aldridge to make cameo on IFC’s Portlandia

IFC’s cult-hit Portlandia has developed a huge fan-base in the Upper Northwest, people who enjoy the wry and dry comedy of creators Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. Armisen and Brownstein love to take Portland to task and all of it’s liberal trappings. It appears they have a fan in Portland Trailblazers first-time All-Star center LaMarcus Aldridge. Aldridge will make a cameo...

Portland Trail Blazers, Greg Oden, and the career that should have been

It was announced yesterday that Greg Oden of the Portland Trail Blazers, had his third microfracture surgery in 4 years. That’s unbelievable! Three microfracture surgeries in 4 years, that has to be some kind of record (I’m about to get Ripley on line 1). At this point I question if there are any original parts in his knees. I image that he knees are full of Silly Putty...

'Raymond Time' Key To Consistency

He was sick of turnover talk. Sick of hearing about the lows and sick of losing. Raymond Felton was thrown into the Portland Trail Blazers' lineup as the offense's tone setter but has struggled to stay consistent. Understatement. He's struggled to remain stable, teetering on the edge of the cliff that lands him near the end of the bench. Felton understood. He knew full...
