Time constraints are limiting me tonight so we
won’t get into any full fledged analysis. I know
plenty of people will freak out about the Blazers almost blowing a 20-point lead, but it actually didn’t look as bad as it sounds. Portland strung a couple flukey, odd plays together in ...

A little more than the 6-8 weeks most
were speculating — the general recovery time listed for
stress fractures in the foot — and the current timetable puts an Outlaw return far past the trade deadline, making his value almost completely dependent on his expiring contract.

Using a number of advanced statistics, the Wages
of Wins Journal has determined that Portland is the
best team in the Western Conference right now: Who is the best team in the West? If we consider preseason hype, it’s the Lakers. If we consider won-loss record, it’s the surprising Phoenix ...

Drexler’s Pistons in the house!!!! Joking aside, Portland
starts what (on paper) looks to be a favorable
end to the month of November. After a (no matter how bitter of a taste the ATL game left) successful road trip, Portland will have 5 of their next 7 games in the Rose Garden and only ...

Looks like we need another disclaimer before entering
the thick of things. What shall we go with?
How about “4-1 road trip”? And How! A lot of things went well, a lot of things didn’t. Unfortunately, the former applied mostly to the first half, the latter to the second half and ...

It’s funny how much things can change in
a couple weeks time. Let’s go all the way
back to November 3rd. The Blazers were set to host the Atlanta Hawks. Coming in everyone knew Portland had a lot to figure out. There were question marks surrounding the rotation, the offense, the ...

As has been tradition for the last week,
the Blazers won a game that fell off the
ugly tree, rolled down the ugly hill, walked into ugly town and got a shot of mud water at the ugly bar. Still can’t really fault them for it now that they’ve gone 4-0 on this road trip, [...]

Via Blazersedge: From the Blazers: Travis Outlaw has

Out indefinitely. And @blazerbanter: #Blazers forward Travis Outlaw has a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot. Will return to Portland for evaluation. This is really ...

Be careful Blazer fans, as this game has
all the makings of a nice sized trap. Portland
rolls into Charlotte with a 4-game winning streak in their bag. They are also currently 3-0 on their current 5-game road trip. The Bobcats meanwhile are 3-5 and have lost three straight games. This road trip ...

I feel bad for Chris Paul. I feel
bad for Hornets fans. I just feel bad (but
not for Jeff Bower). I watched this game on TiVo, and having heard about what happened before hand it was like watching Shawshank Redemption just waiting for Brooks to carve his name into wood. Not a good feeling. I ...

Over the past few seasons, trips to the
Big Easy haven’t always been so easy for the
Blazers. But if you’ve seen the Hornets this year you can’t help but feel that might change. Tonight, Portland takes the floor in New Orleans for the 3rd road game of this swing. Normally this ...

Keeping this short tonight since, well, this game
was almost a carbon copy of the previous two.
“Insert adjective similar to godawful” team hangs around for a little bit and then the Blazers pull away in the second half with good ball movement, an inside-out game and possession ...

Back to back games against 1-win teams is
a pretty nice way to start a 5 game
road trip, eh? After last night’s victory over Memphis, the Blazers take their show to Minnesota to take on the T-Wolves. Remember back in the day when the Blazers going to the Target Center felt like a loss ...

This was a weird game that the Blazers
sort of won by default because they were the
only kids in class who raised their hands when the teacher asked, “Who wants to play some defense?”. I don’t say that to diminish the efforts of Portland, but other than a 15-1 run through the ...

Coming off some of their best basketball of
the season, the Blazers embark on a 5-game in
7 days road trip tonight in Memphis. It’s funny that just when it seems as if Portland might be putting some things together, they have to take their show on the road. One of the big issues coming ...
