Congratulations to the Blazers! They beat Dallas 108-105 for thier 40th win of the season.
If the Blazers beat Memphis on Tuesday they are guaranteed a 500 record with at least 41 wins.
They haven't done that since the 2003-04 season when they finished 41-41.
Obviously, Head Coach Nate McMillan is pretty pumped up..."It feels sweet"...said McMillan after the game, "It's great to see 40. I haven...
The Blazers say they hope to know soon how things went when Darius Miles had his right knee examined last month by an independent Dr.
Darius underwent microfracture surgery on his knee in December of 2005. He has been rehabbing ever since. If the Dr. and the NBA rule that miles injury is career ending...then his salary wouldn't count against the cap.
The Blazers say they will probably know something ...
Blazers forward Martell Webster spent the night in the hospital and tests revealed an irregular heartbeat. Webster experienced flu-like symptoms and dizziness on Thursday and was taken to the hospital. He spent the night for observation.
Webster is out of the hospital, but will miss Sunday's game with the Spurs. He is scheduled to see the team's cardiologist early next week.
The Blazers are sure streaky, aren't they? I guess that's one of the traits of a young team. But on Tuesday against the 'Arenas-less' Wizards...the Blazers showed signs of late season life. In the absence of Brandon Roy (who suffered a strained groin at the end of the 1st quarter), and LaMarcus Aldridge, (who was out with a sprained ankle suffered during Monday's loss to the Sonics), Portland shot lights out ...
Great weekend of basketball in the NBA. How about the Western Conference. Only 4 and a half games separate 1st and the 8th and final playoff spot. A slump could cost any team a post season berth.
The Blazers posted another exciting victory this weekend.. They beat the Knicks in New York on Saturday and now have 33 wins...one more than all of last year. They need to go 9-10 over the last 19 games to finis...
After winning an NBA best 13-straight games in the month of December....the Blazers have reversed course. They've lost 7 of their last 8...and 11 of their last 15. And today comes news that their "do it all" guard Brandon Roy will be out for at least the next 2 games. Here's the release from the Blazers today:
Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy did not accompany the team to Los Angeles, and wil...
What a weekend for Blazers Guard Brandon Roy and Blazers fans. Blazer fans have waited 7 years for an All-Star and Brandon is about as good and classy as you get.
Brandon played in both the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star game and he actually had better stats in the All-Star game. Friday the sophmores beat the rookies 136-109. Brandon had 17 pts, 2 rebs and 7 assists. The West lost to the East in the All-S...
It's All Star weekend and Blazers Brandon Roy and Lamarcus Aldridge are there for the festivities. The NBA classic is in New Orleans and Brandon is playing in the rookie-sophmore game and the All-Star game and Lamarcus is in the rookie-sophmore game .
I've covered three All-Star games over the years and I thought I would share a few of my favorite memories. The first one was at the Kingdome in Seattle in 1987. ...
I was sitting on Press Row for the Blazers game with Cleveland knowing that in the final few minutes something special could happen. It was the Blazers 9th consecutive 20 thousand plus sellout and as most fans know...most of those games have been great down the stretch.
Would the Blazers hold on and win again...or would Lebron James rally the red hot Cavs. Either way it would be something special. In the end....
....and they are your Portland Trail Blazers! Tonight, the young guns made it 18 wins in their last 20 games. Only the Jazz and Raptors have been able to slip past the Blazers since December 2nd. It's truely a remarkable feat--in any sport--regardless the professional level. Tonight's performance in New Jersey was indicative of how this team has been so successful. It was as simple as playing team basketball...sharing the ball....a...
