 Did This Just Happen?
Did This Just Happen?
Nate Robinson just got his summer league jersey retired. Seriously. Here it is, hanging on a random concrete wall. "How does it feel?" My favorite detail is the fire alarm just below the jersey.

Perspective
I'm feeling the need for some perspective on this news.  That's what places like this are for, so here we go. Obviously this is devastating news.  Blazer fans were like kids who had been promised a Ferrari for their sixteenth birthday. ...

An Open Letter to Greg Oden
Amongst all the coverage of Greg Oden's surgery yesterday the piece you couldn't miss was the human one.  Not the medical coverage, not the basketball analysis, but Kevin Pritchard saying that both Greg and his mom were apologizing while being ...

Gunnin' For That #1 Spot Review
As with any basketball movie review, it is important to note that " Gunnin' For That #1 Spot " is not " Hoop Dreams ." It doesn't try to be. But the temptation to compare any movie focused on the lives and times of high school basketball prospects to that seminal work is overwhelming. Such is the Jordanesque shadow that "Hoop Dreams" casts. Do "Gunnin'" justice and ...

Why You Will See Blazers Traded This Year
As I’ve read the comments in various posts a recurring theme has come up, which can be summarized thusly:   “We have some good, young, talented players with potential we’re not completely sure of yet.   The ...

Anatomy of a Pritchslap
Ben Golliver of Blazer's Edge with an insightful, ultra-detailed breakdown of how the Trail Blazers, lead by GM Kevin Pritchard, landed Jerryd Bayless on draft night. Part of the answer? They duped the Bobcats into taking D.J. Augustin. The Kings being "functionally retarded" also helped Portland's cause.

An Interview With Chuck Swirsky
After yesterday's hubbub I thought it might be productive to sit down and talk with the vote-casting man himself, so I fired off a few questions to Toronto Raptors' analyst Chuck Swirsky.  He was nice enough to respond.  Here is the text.  ...

Game 54 Recap: Blazers 92, Sonics 88
This was really kind of a Stink-a-thon from both sides tonight. Neither side shot over 39% yet somehow neither team played what you'd call sterling defense. There was a fair amount of one-on-one ball unless the ball-handlers found gaping lanes to pass through (which happened a fair amount). The two stars--Durant and Roy--had good games but both shot poorly and neither one really dominated.

 The Trade
The Trade
As you all know, the Blazers pulled the trigger on a deal yesterday, sending the terminally-amusing and hard-nosed Taurean Green to Denver for guard Von Wafer. Here are Wafer's career stats if you need them. Having watched him throughout Summer League this past year I can tell you a couple of things: 1. He's got an average body and his athleticism is decent but probably not his main ...

Weighing the Draft
Great NBA draft article by Dave over at Blazer's Edge. "There’s a bunch of talk going on about the draft and relative weights player-to-player and year-to-year. It’s fascinating, and much appreciated too! The diversity of opinion and spirited debate make for interesting reading, especially since we’ve got people not just on both ends of a spectrum, but on most points in between."
