Mavs hire Kaleb Canales to replace Tim O'Brien
DALLAS - Not long ago, Kaleb Canales was a University of Texas-Arlington Mav.
Now hes a Dallas Mav.
The Dallas Mavericks have announced that veteran assistant Jim OBrien is retiring from the NBA and is being replaced by Canales, 34, and a native of Laredo, Texas.
"On April 16, Jim O'Brien informed me that he would be retiring from coaching when our season was over...
Kaleb Canales Leaves Blazers To Become Assistant With Mavericks
Kaleb Canales is leaving the Portland Trail Blazers to take an assistant coaching position with the Dallas Mavericks.
Canales, a finalist for the Blazers' coaching vacancy last offseason that ultimately went to Terry Stotts, served as a defensive coordinator on Portland's staff this season.
Stotts had said he wanted to remove the "coordinator" label and make both...
Looking Ahead: A Wish List For Next Year’s Portland Trail Blazers
A 13-game losing streak leaves a foul stench in the nostrils of Portland fans heading into the offseason. But if you’ve been through Tillamook and enjoyed their ice cream or cheddar cheese, you realize that sometimes a nasty odor is a necessary step in producing bigger and better things.
The memory of the season-ending slide will fade away from the memory of Blazer fans as...
Blazers optimistic despite finish
Wesley Matthews succinctly summed up the Trail Blazers' feelings as the season ended with a thud.
''Empty,'' he said.
Matthews missed the team's final five games with a right ankle injury, watching from the bench as Portland's season-ending losing streak stretched to 13 games. The Blazers finished 33-49 and out of the playoffs for the second straight...
Nets-Trail Blazers Preview
The Portland Trail Blazers are running out of time to make up ground in the Western Conference playoff race, and their remaining schedule features teams either currently in postseason position or battling for it like themselves.
That includes the Brooklyn Nets, who could have Joe Johnson back in the lineup as they continue their road trip Wednesday night.
Portland (33-37) is in...
The Price Of Victory
Portland continues their up and down play. It is mind boggling how they can beat playoff teams on the road yet lose to lottery teams at home. They seem to defy odds while playing with a shallow bench that continues to get more and more shallow. Friday night Coach Terry Stotts played a seven-man rotation with Meyers Leonard and Erik Maynor came off the bench in the surprising...
Tough Schedule For The Portland Trail Blazers
The schedule makers did the Portland Trail Blazers no favors heading into the last stretch of the 2012-13 season. With a 31-36 record, Portland is clinging to faint playoff hopes. Over the course of the next 28 days, they play 15 games. But the next four games will probably decide Portland’s playoff fate. Every team on the schedule during this stretch is playoff bound and fighting...
Trail Blazers-Hornets Preview
The Portland Trail Blazers are riding high after routing the Western Conference's best team.
Portland, though, can't get too overconfident after what happened in its last game in New Orleans.
The Blazers will try to win for the fifth time in seven games on Sunday night when they complete the season series with the lowly Hornets.
After opening their three-game trip Wednesday...
Portland Trail Blazers Bench: Who Should Stay And Who Should Go?
The second half of the season is off to an exciting start for the Portland Trail Blazers. Well, not if you’re tracking the team strictly by wins and losses. Then the 3-4 mark they’ve shown is about on par with the rest of the season.
But if you’ve spent time watching this team and have seen the way it’s progressing and evolving, you’ve got to be excited about the way...

Eric Maynor, PG Portland – DraftKings salary: $3,000
The heady decision maker out of VCU played only nine games last season after suffering a torn ACL. That, in tandem with the speedy maturation of Reggie Jackson, ultimately led to Maynor falling out of favor in Oklahoma City (despite being an ultra-efficient reserve in 2009-2011). A shorthanded Blazers...
Portland Trail Blazers: It's Gonna Be A Dogfight
We’ve talked about preseason expectations for the Portland Trail Blazers and we know they’re a hard working team. I think everyone has come to the conclusion that as long as they continue to work hard, they will meet expectations. They may win the majority of their games to end the season, but they could also miss the playoffs entirely. The fact remains that the end of the season...
Portland Trail Blazers: Updated player odds for NBA awards
Will NBA hardware return to Portland?
It’s been a long time since someone in Portland brought home some NBA hardware. In fact, the last to do such a thing was Brandon Roy in 2007 with the rookie of the year award.
While the 2012-13 season hasn’t been the best in Portland history, there’s plenty of standouts on this year’s team. Damian Lillard has put up ridiculous numbers...
Rick’s Picks Week 15: The weekly Portland Trail Blazers’ all-stars
Top Blazers
Each and every week I sit down to write this column I feel like I’ve seen a different Blazers team take to the court over the previous week.
Some weeks the non-existent bench shows signs of life, or Damian Lillard shows why he could be an all-world point guard, then other weeks Portland seems lethargic, Nic Batum’s wrist costs Portland crucial possessions, or that...

Blazers nearly blow big lead, but still win
MINNEAPOLIS - In a matter of minutes, the Portland Trail Blazers went from cruise control to crisis, from a comfortable lead to a nail-biting finish. "The fourth quarter didn't go the way we wanted it to,'' Blazers coach Terry Stotts deadpanned after his team's 100-98 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday. Down 19 after three quarters at Target...
Trail Blazers regain shooting touch against Jazz
PORTLAND, Ore. -- On Friday night, Portland shot 36.7 percent from the field and scored a season low in an 86-77 loss to Utah at EnergySolutions Arena. Imagine the satisfaction coach Terry Stotts felt as the Trail Blazers improved to 50.7 percent in a 105-99 victory over the Jazz Saturday night at the Rose Garden. "Twenty-four hours makes a difference," Stotts said...
Blazers finally get a blowout victory
PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Portland Trail Blazers had played a franchise-record 10 straight games that were decided by six points or fewer. They had won the first four contests before dropping six in a row. Imagine their surprise, then, with their nearly wire-to-wire 100-80 blowout of Indiana on Wednesday night at the Rose Garden. "We've played so many two-point games, tonight...
Bucks hold off Trail Blazers
PORTLAND -- Brandon Jennings scored 30 points, including four free throws in the final 33 seconds, to lift the Milwaukee Bucks to a 110-104 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday night at the Rose Garden. Ersan Ilyasova collected 27 points and 14 rebounds for the Bucks (21-18), who are 5-2 under interim head coach Jim Boylan. Damian Lillard scored 26 points and dished...
Stotts Blazers slumping after fast start
The final two stops on the Milwaukee Bucks' longest road trip of the season certainly haven't lacked for story lines.
First was the 24-game losing streak in Phoenix that was snapped Thursday night. Now, the Bucks are preparing to face an old friend Saturday.
Former Bucks coach Terry Stotts is in charge of the Portland Trail Blazers these days, and his team was one of the...

Cavaliers-Trail Blazers Preview
The Portland Trail Blazers have been competitive in each of their last three games but they've been on the losing end each time.
A visit from the lowly Cleveland Cavaliers might give the Blazers a chance to avoid a season high-tying fourth consecutive defeat Wednesday night.
Portland's last three games have been decided by a combined 14 points and its latest defeat was...
Bucks battling history on West Coast trip
MILWAUKEE A simple old quote states: If you want to go east, don't go west.
If only the Milwaukee Bucks had the option.
Instead, the Bucks -- as they do twice a year, every year (unless there is a lockout) -- will embark on a three-game swing to the West Coast starting Tuesday in Los Angeles. This year's trip comes at a critical time in the season. A successful trip would...

By Dave Del Grande, Sports Xchange OAKLAND, Calif. -- Damian Lillard put on a show for his hometown fans in his Oakland homecoming, but his 37 points weren't enough as the Golden State Warriors held on for an entertaining 103-97 victory Friday night over the Portland Trail Blazers.
