I've been on crutches twice in my life. In High School I partially tore my achilles, and spent about 5 weeks hobbling around. No surgery was required. About a year ago I came down on someone's foot...

I'm fascinated by the media.  Not just sports media, but all of it--cable news, print media (what's left of it), Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann, etc.  It is interesting to see how stories are...

So I was watching this video of Scottie Pippen defense highlights, and it got me thinking about the Blazers.   The Bulls were obviously a very disciplined team, with a structured offensive...

Greetings Blazer Fans, Last summer I was lucky enough to win the Blazers Edge Essay Contest, and I received as my winning prize an Autographed Brian Grant jersey. I was proud to win the contest and...

Offensively I think Portland has to look more to LaMarcus and Brandon, and let Greg clean up the scraps with putbacks, lobs when defenders are sleeping, etc.  Let's face it, Greg is still...

Quick has said several times over the last few years that he thought Brandon would be this team's PG of the future. If Brandon struggles playing without the ball in his hands, why not just make him...

My Dad taught me everything I know about basketball.  Growing up I remember him pulling into the drive way after a long, physically demanding day at work, and then taking me...

Why was he double teamed all last season? I was just watching a game from last season against Toronto. With three to go in the 2nd quarter, Portland gives the ball to Greg who backs down Jermaine...

I've heard a lot of people complain about the officiating. I've also heard a lot of people complain about the people complaining about the officials. "Hey man, the officiating is not deciding this...
