Right at the beginning of the quick chat (about two minutes in), Jason reveals the handiwork of Tom Penn, and explains the New York Trade: by adding Jones, Portland got the trade exception.  They...

I went to the Rose Garden for the draft party, and here is my recounting/thoughts.Got there about 3:15 or so.  A lot of Oden supporters, but there was this hilarious group of four guys (give or...

this one is about Dallas getting KG.  Minesota reportedly wants young players, expiring contracts, and a high pick.  Terry, Harris and Howard are mentioned as possible young'uns.  Article here....

Well sort of.  I've been mainly Pro-Oden for a while, but have been inching towards Durant.  I have nowhere near the information KP has, so I'm fine with either one, but today, something just hit...

MB's latest entry: He talks to Oden, who feels really welcomed, and to Darius.  The gist of it is MB has seen Darius in the gym rehabbing hard every day, and Aldridge asked him if he's going to...

Original story here.  Hat tip to Holdahl at Blazer's blog.The scenario is basically this: Chicago drafts Conley and uses him as part of a package to get Randolph.  I don't know how this is better...

This poll will be similar to one I posted last season, when we knew we had something special in Brandon, Lamarcus, Sergio, and KP.  Only this time we have the #1 pick.It is a trade scenario.  One...

Mike Nelson has a new (to me anyway) site called RiffTrax.com.  He has ingeniously sidestepped the problem of buying rights to movies (the bane of all MiSTies, who would like the whole series on...

One suggestion I've heard is just seeding all 16 teams, NCAA style. The idea is that strength pfcpnference will no longer be a factor, and the seeding by division champ willbe eliminated.I'm not...

If Dallas loses the series, and we are a looooong way from that happening (even in a 5 game series, a 2-1 lead would not guarantee anything), where would this rank as a playoff upset?Someone on...

He died in a car crash today.  Anyone who enjoys sportswriting of any kind can appreciate his work.  I know him mostly from baseball books about the 1964 (Yankees and Cards WS) and 1949 (Yankees...

Playoff predictions:Mavs and Dubs = Mavs in 6Rockets and Jazz = Rockets in 7 (Utah will lose, but not as quickly as everyone thinks)Spurs and Nuggets = Spurs in 6  (I'd do 5 or 4, but the Nugs...

Portland may be out of the playoff picture, but we do get something else: the possible role of spoiler.  Golden State is hundredths of a percentage point above the Clips for the 8th seed right now...

As in for your passionate fandom.  Who is your favorite team when Portland isn't playing/isn't alive in the playoffs (or both for the last few years)?Personally, I've always liked San Antonio, and...

This is more than a bit unrealistic, given current situations and intentions, but who would you rather have as team president and why?Jerry West, miner of talent, builder Dynasties/50 win playoff...

I Got my T-shirt in today; I'm looking forward to wearing it to either tomorrow night or to the gym on monday.  Even though we couldn't use any Blazer logos, I think that will work in our favor....

      In light of Pippen returning (supposedly), the honoring of the 77' Blazers, and the comments on the type of fans we are (will show up to support a bunch of good, hardworking guys), I've...

      Dave just asked this about the Blazers, but seeing as we are bball fans a priori (can't love the Blazers if you can't love the game), I thought I'd go ahead and ask about finishing the...

       I personally am not too horribly familiar with the players past Oden, Durant, and Noah (in fact, college and minor leagues in general do not hold my attention all that much for some...

Let's give Pippen the benefit of the doubt for a moment.  Say he's healed up enough for a short run, and knows his body and the game well enough to make a comeback, even if it lasts only 'till...

I recently picked up a used vhs of "Return to Rip City."Wow, what a trip back.      It was interesting watching the highlights, and noticing how the more things change, the more they stay the...
