The NW division nearly has as many teams over .500 (4) as the entire Eastern Conference (5).

Yowza. Not good, East, not good at all.

SHH!!! don't tell pritchard!!!

Saw this article and immediately thought of the Blazers... is that weird?

And yes, I do actively read the wining & dining section of the NY Times. And no, that's not weird.

Among other Blazer tidbits and thoughts, you will find this:

...as Portland also will have Rudy Fernandez handling the ball more.

How do you react to this? What about his other thoughts?

OT: Is E$PN Acting Irresponsibly re: Roethlisberger?

This is nowhere near Trail Blazer news, basketball news, or even real sports news... my apologies for that. The events building up around this story have left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth and I find it worthy of discussion. And let's face it, it's the dead quiet of the off-season and there's little else to discuss anyway.

If you've only been getting your sports news from watching SportsCenter or by reading ESPN.com than you haven't heard yet...

The Idaho license plate of our very own Dave. (side note: are you from Portland/Oregon originally Dave, or is Idaho your state of origin?)

At first I thought the tag was for 2002, meaning it was 7 years late on getting renewed. This made me wonder if Idaho loosened their Air Quality laws in 2002 or if Dave is really just a hardcore rebel sticking it to the man at heart.

Then I blew up the photo and realized it expires Feb of 2010. Way to keep it real, Dave.

Is that a Honda Element that you drive?

Does Jerryd Bayless moonlight as a Bulls dancer?

Bayless? Ben, can this be true?

Or perhaps he has a twin sister...

The resemblence is uncanny... I mean, that's the Bayless Face.

Ben, I need your backing here. I know how deep your love for Rex goes... but this is the Bayless Face, right?

You may want to see this...

This appears to be old but is new to me. Apologies in advance if it's been through before.

West Coast Bias?

Twice now I've seen a commercial on ESPN for a new SportsCenter that is based out of the Pacific Time Zone. It starts at 10PM next monday (I think). Does this mean we'll get adequate West Coast highlights for once? Is this a Sports Television Revolution? HAS ESPN COME UP WITH ONE OF THIER GREATEST IDEAS EVER?

Houston, You Have A Problem...

Fear not, Blazermaniacs! This isn't about Gregory Wayne. It's not about Comcast. There's no scandal involved. Actually, this problem isn't even ours; it's Houstons.

I'd like to present to the forum evidence that strongly suggests why it will be Houston who collapses down the stretch.

I giveth you:

13 Games In 22 Days... DUM, DUM, DUM!!!
