During last summer’s draft, the Portland Trail Blazers dealt the Minnesota Timberwolves Martell Webster for the 16th overall draft pick in that draft. Unofortunately for Minnesota, they feel that due to Webster undergoing surgery because of a back injury suffered during last spring’s NBA playoffs against the Phoenix Suns while a member of the Blazers, the [...]

J-Rich’s 42 Helps Suns Scorch Trail Blazers 108-89, Take 2-1 Series Lead
I think the best way to describe the Portland Trail Blazers is snakebitten, keeping in mind the multitude of injured personnel on their roster. Yet here they are in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, fortunate to be there, despite their circumstances. Thursday night would find them up against the Phoenix Suns, with the [...]
Trail Blazers Get Playoff Gift, Edge Lakers 91-88
The Portland Trail Blazers, along with the San Antonio Spurs, are competing for the chance to try and avoid having the top seed in the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers, as their opponent. so I think it is safe to say that the Blazers are playing with a sense of urgency in the remaining [...]
Melo’s 13 Fourth Quarter Points Help Nuggets Slam Trail Blazers 109-92
The Denver Nuggets have been a team that whether they will admit it or not, have not played nearly as well since coach George Karl took a leave of absence due to some health issues. That doesn’t minimize what interim coach Adrian Dantley has done up to this point but the fact is that the [...]
Webster’s 10 Fourth Quarter Points Help Trail Blazers Get Past Spurs 96-93

Trail Blazers Hand Lakers Third Straight Road Loss 107-98
Both the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers have at least this much in common: both are injury-prone, Portland even more so. The Blazers have lost both of their centers, Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla, for the rest of the season, yet find ways to win. The Lakers, on the other hand, have put [...]
Roy’s 11-Point 4th Quarter Rallies Trail Blazers Past Heat 102-95
It seems to me that on most Sundays in the NBA, usually only one team will shoot very well or neither one does. So it was the rare occasion on this Sunday when the Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat got together at American Airlines Center. The two teams getting together wasn’t so unusual insomuch [...]
Bayless’ Late Free Throws Vault Trail Blazers Past Suns 105-102
One of the more overlooked players on the Portland Trail Blazers these days is Jerryd Bayless. But then again, with the point guard surplus on the team (Andre Miller and Steve Blake), Bayless’ absence has been conspicuous. During Thursday night’s game between the Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns, Bayless may have perhaps earned some minutes [...]
