Henry Abott rides a white horse
Rip City Project | A Portland Trailblazers blog —
I just love reading the guy, whether I agree with him on specific points or not. Abbott did a rundown of his many thoughts on the Blazers this season, and he's trying to manage expectations a little bit as most of us are. He's a Blazer fan, you're a Blazer fan, read the story on the Blazers, even if you have work to do. ...

Greg Oden Interviews Bill Russell and David Robinson, Video. This is a sweet little round table discussion where Oden gets to ask a few questions. I 100% agree with the Admiral. He had a sweet shot. I wish he was more physical, but he is one of the top 50. Bill Russell, who is in everyone’s top 3-4 players of all time, also had some cool things to say. Check it out.
Also, Blazer fans can check out the True Hoop preseason hype post that Henry Abbott posted, and the new Blaze of Love blog for Blazer ...

... * Using the theory that “young teams never crush anyone,” here’s one vote against the Blazers being very good this season. Thing is, they’re not that young.

Sergio Rodriguez and Rudy Fernandez would both like to run all day. Travis Outlaw knows how to beat his man down the floor. I'd like to see them on the floor with LaMarcus Aldridge, who is one of the fastest 6-11 guys in the history of the planet, But the team as a whole has been s-l-o-w. Last season, they played at the NBA's 29th ...

... blogged about his personal life, endorsed Barack Obama for president and become recognized as an affable, humble star -- without playing a single game. "I've been waiting for a long time to get out there and play in a real NBA game. I'm more excited than anybody else," Oden said. "I haven't done anything and people still consider me at that level of being a number one draft pick. I'd rather be a guy that earns it by playing than because I was drafted a certain number."
