Game 66 Recap: Hawks 91, Blazers 82
Jeff Teague put on a little bit of a show, helping the Hawks sweep the season series against the Blazers. Photo courtesy of the AP.
When this season is over, hopefully following at least one playoff series, we’ll look back at the second week of March and have fond memories of one semi-great win in Orlando, and one hands down amazing win in Miami. We may even think that that...

Game 65 Recap: Bobcats 97, Blazers 92
Stephen Jackson's hot shooting helped the Bobcats steal one from the Blazers. Photo courtesy of the AP.
So that happened. And immediately following that happening, something else happened, something akin to a mini panic. If you watched the local broadcast, which I did, you might have mistaken Friday night’s game in Charlotte to a one-game playoff for the fate of the city...

What to do with Wallace
Gerald Wallace has had a positive impact on the Blazers, but should he be a starter? Photo courtesy of the AP.
So here we are, two nights removed from Portland’s biggest win of 2010-11, winners of four straight, seven in a row on the road, very possibly poised to make a meaningful playoff run, and there is one question that is on the minds of Blazer fans the world around: Should...

Game 64 Recap: Blazers 105, Heat 96
Gerald Wallace had a breakout game both on offense and defense, helping the Blazers top the Heat in Miami. Photo courtesy of the AP.
There is going to be plenty of talk following the Blazers’ win on Tuesday in Miami, and none of it is going to be about Portland. My guess is the national media will focus on the problems LeBron James and his cronies are having against teams over...

Say what you will about what it wasn’t: pretty, efficient, NOT heart attack inducing, but it WAS most definitely one thing. A win. At this point, at the very beginning of what could be a late season defining road trip, I don’t want to over emphasize how big beating...

Saturday’s game will be memorable, at least for awhile, and it will have nothing to do with the basketball that was actually played. That was as forgettable as any blowout in recent history. The memories from Portland’s dusting of the Charlotte...

A Farewell to Joel
Joel Przybilla made a name for himself in Portland going toe-to-toe with some of the NBA's very best big men.
February has been an interesting month for the Blazers and their fans. LaMarcus Aldridge showed that his two plus months of high level play was worth Player of the Month honors, the team seemed to jell in a way that they hadn’t previously this season, rolling into the...

The end of last week and the beginning of this week have been tense to say that least. Two blowout losses at home, and Portland fans were looking for answers. Maybe Brandon Roy’s return was going to throw a steak in the Blazer’s new found passion and scrap. Maybe trading...

So I guess every so often we get to have a game like the one we had Friday night. A performance that could be classified best as uneven through three quarters, then a furious comeback at the start of the fourth, followed by what seemed to be a dagger collapse,...
