Why Signing Marcus Camby Was a Good Idea
A Look Ahead: 5-2 to End the Month of February
by Rip City Mike on Feb 15, 2010 4:27 PM EST
on Blazer's Edge
The All-Star Break is dead and gone. Paul Pierce is the three point champion, redeeming himself after a poor showing in 2002. After a dry and boring dunk contest, the short man, Nate Robinson, emerged victorious. In front of a crowd of over 108,000, the East edged the West, with Brandon Roy looking on from the sidelines. How does the rest of the month of February look for the Blazers? More info after the Jump. As always, please leave behind critiques, recommendations, and opinions.

Why the Blazers Will Win Tonight
by Rip City Mike on Feb 9, 2010 3:41 PM EST
on Blazer's Edge
Hey Blazers Edgers, this is RCM with a prediction about tonight's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. I think that this should be a very easy win for the Blazers, and here's why.
Please keep in mind that this is only a surface deep prediction of the game, constructed in only an hour and a half. It is nowhere near as detailed as Ben's previews or analysis. As always, recommendations, critiques, and feedback are welcomed and desired.

Hey, fellow Blazers Edgers. It's your boy Rip City Mike, back from his self-imposed hiatus. I'm sorry I haven't been able to post, etc. consistently, I'll try to get a high quality article out every week.
This week's article is an in-depth analysis of LaMarcus Aldridge. I'll analyze his strengths, weaknesses, needs for improvement, and share my opinion about his recent play after the jump.
As always, comments, recommendations, and critiques are all welcomed and desired.

The B-Roy Factor
by Rip City Mike on Dec 1, 2009 3:39 PM EST
on Blazer's Edge
Hey guys, it's RCM, taking a quick break from my mountain of homework. I trust you all had a great Thanksgiving break.
I just want to take a little bit of time to talk about Brandon Roy's play this year. Brandon Roy has been under fire lately from sportswriters around the league for not taking shots, not scoring points, and not leading his team like he has to. Are any of these accusations founded? As always, feel free to respond, give feedback, etc.

Analysis on Greg Oden
by Rip City Mike on Nov 2, 2009 5:40 PM EST
on Blazer's Edge
Hey BlazersEdge community, I'm Mike. I'm an avid sports fan, and have decided to try my hand at blogging about my favorite team, the TrailBlazers. Keep in mind my relative youth (I'm 16) and inexperience at blogging when you read my posts; I try my best to provide a mature, in-depth, and objective analysis in all my blog posts. Please give me feedback about what I can do to improve my writing. Thanks, but enough about me, now it's time to talk about the Blazers.
