Texting Blazers scores

Texting Blazers scores

in the post-game comment section, prezofdeth said it would be cool to get text messages about blazers games. in case he was actually serious (doubtful), you can actually do this on espn.com through their alert services. go to espn.com and register (free). obviously you'll need to provide your cellphone number to receive texts, but there is no cost for the text updates. once you are registered, go to member services and click on "espn alert manager." you can then find the blazers and register for either final or quarterly updates. you will receive a text that shows the score and the points/rebounds/assists for the leading performer on each team. i highly recommend signing up, it's a lifeline when you're away from the computer and need those blazers scores!

Ball Don't Lie season preview!

Ball Don't Lie season preview!

This is the preview I've been waiting for. I think J.E. Skeets is one of the best basketball writers out there, and between he and Kelly Dwyer they run a tight ship at BDL.

He predicts a 44-38 record and offers some reasonable predictions for the season. It actually sounds like he watched some Blazers games last season, unlike numerous national sports writers.

Again, I highly recommend you read BDL on a regular basis. Sign up for the RSS feed, it's worth the read every time.

Spanish top-10 plays of the year

Here's a video of the year's top 10 plays from ACB, via TrueHoop:

Rudy comes in with a nice dunk in traffic at #7 that I haven't seen before, and the alley-oop we've all seen before on youtube at #3. I thought his dunk at #7 was perhaps more impressive given the tighter D he was facing.

Overall I was impressed with the skill (check out that pass at #2!) and athleticism (the guy at #5 got UP) of the Spanish league. That should help Rudy adjust well to the NBA.
