On Monday night the Blazers were extremely fortunate

... isn't looking over his shoulder at the bench all the time, like a batter stepping out of the box waiting for a sign from the third-base coach. I've never been a big fan of Kidd. I've said it many times before, but I always seem to like shooters and he's never been that. But I could see -- and it's not going to happen -- how much good it would do a team like this, or a young point guard like Jerryd Bayless, to have Kidd around for a season or two to mentor them.

ripcityproject.com 3/12/2009 — Another game against Dallas and another loss. The Mavs sweep the season series which saw 2 of the 3 games take place at the Rose Garden. A pretty big loss for a couple reasons. One the tie-breaker obviously goes to Dallas which in this tight race makes me nervous. Second, it erases the Laker ...

ripcityproject.com 2/5/2009 — Two comebacks in a row would be a bit much to ask for, wouldn't it? Especially in a game where the Blazers played prolonged stretches of putrid defense combined with shabby offensive execution. They never seemed to develop any true rhythm and even ...
