Poll: What To Do At The One?

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:52:19 -0500

The Oregonian's Joe Freeman wrote what many were starting to suspect, Nate McMillan is leaning towards sticking to his guns and beginning the regular season with Steve Blake as his starting point guard. It's a question we've asked before but now we have had 8 exhibition seasons worth of games to watch boxscores and columns to read to inform the discussion. Who will it be: Miller or Blake or a combination (or other)? Thoughts? Please vote and discuss. -- Ben...

Yo Pritchard! Don’t Mess With The Chemistry And Trade Steve Blake!

The one thing that really gets under New York Vinnie’s skin and makes my blood boil watching an NBA game is when a team has run a great offensive set and then makes that “One Pass Too Many” and ends up turning over the ball! All too often you will see a player not take [...]

Steve Blake: The Forgotten Man…

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:22:58 -0500

Thinking Out Loud post of the day: This mini-post was inspired by a back-and-forth I read on twitter yesterday between @bustabucket and @pdxtrailblazers (sparked by @gavindawson). It seems as if a lot of the PG talk of late has been all about Andre Miller. We’re guilty here at the RCP as well, I mean I’m still [...]

Miller, Blake and Bayless: How Will This Sort Out?

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:49:13 -0500

If today's reports are true, the Blazers now have something of a log jam at the point guard position. Andre Miller is a durable, reliable, high-minute player, Steve Blake has succeeded in both starting and backup roles, and Jerryd Bayless played relatively few minutes as a rookie backup last year and is itching to see increased playing time. Can the Blazers keep all three? Would they want to? Would all three guys be cool with that? Keep in mind: Andre ...

Road Trip

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:40:30 -0500

We are on a week long east coast road trip, as of now we are 3-0. We play Boston tomorrow and Toronto on sunday. Those are two really good teams, they will be really tough to win and being at there place. The road trip has been good so far besides basketball they are some really good cities that we have been too. In Detroit i got to see my mom so that was good. Then in New York i just like it, me and Steve Blake went out to dinner and i got to see some of the places that were on this weeks episode of Gossip Girl. Washington i have some of my best memories there. Now im in Boston which has alot of stuff to do. Well we play tomorrow so hope we can keep this good road trip going.
