What Is Going On With The Portland Trail Blazers?
Plain and simple, the Portland Trail Blazers can’t finish games. They don’t have a strategy, or one that works for that matter, to do so. Players are not executing down the stretch of games, and it has become a recurring fact that they cannot finish against quality teams. Unless they figure this out, this isn’t […]
Thunder Face QB Battle with Three Signal Callers
A team is more than the sum of the athletes playing in it. Great athletes can make a lackluster team and a set of lesser athletes can coalesce into an incredible group. Until a team undergoes trial by fire, it impossible to truly get to the core of a team. Especially as this particular team […]
Winterhawks Push Record Streak to 20
The Portland Winterhawks have done something this season they didn’t do last season even though they made it to the Memorial Cup Final.

Blazers Look To Reignite Past The All-Star Break
The Trail Blazers have had a tale of two seasons already. A first quarter of the season where Portland shot threes at a record-breaking pace, and climbed into the top two of a loaded Western Conference.

But fans of the Portland Trail Blazers will have someone to cheer for during all five of the All-Star Week’s main events, as Damian Lillard will be putting the “all” in All-Star Week, appearing in the BBVA Compass Rising […]
What is Wrong with the Blazers?
The Portland Trail Blazers started the season at a torrid pace. The scoring and wins they accumulated impressed teams and pundits around the league. Being seen as one of the best teams in the league is both a blessing and a curse. Blessing, because this team is a clear-cut playoff team, whereas before the season […]
How did the Portland Winterhawks Reach 10 in a Row?
Prior to the start of this week’s games, half of the Portland Winterhawks roster came to Lake Oswego, Oregon and went bowling with the fans. While the averages on strikes weren’t so high, the players could probably blame that on the swarms of fans and autograph seekers. It was a busy time for other appearances […]
Rookie of the Year: The Only “Roy” this Town Seems to Remember
Brandon Dawayne Roy: College All-American, 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year, 3-time NBA All-Star, and 29-year-old husband, father of 2, and retiree. You may remember him as the player most responsible for resurrecting the Portland Trail Blazer franchise, but you likely forgot amidst this season’s first-half success who he really was, and what he really […]
NBA and Portland Trail Blazers Midseason Awards
Basketball media members love giving out midseason awards. I have always felt like they are similar to midterm report cards in school; they can either make your day or ruin your mood but at the end of the day, they don’t mean much. With the start the Portland Trail Blazers have had this season, a […]
