TRAIL BLAZERS? WHY NBA PLAYERS SHOULD LOVE PORTLAND

February 11, 2022 by

Portland Trail Blazers talk gets louder during a team in transition, which is where they are in 2022. Is it a reload or a rebuild? Will Dame stay or will he go? Answer those questions and you may be a General Manager candidate. But there’s still one over-arching question that needs an answer: Why does […]

BLAZER SEASON WRAP FOR DAME TIME

June 4, 2021 by

Another Blazer season, another year, and another view of Damian Lillard. The best teammate award and a first round exit. Who doesn’t get caught up in the whirlwind of the NBA Playoffs without noticing Lillard? I’m not asking who thinks they know what he should do next. It’s been another year, a primetime season, but […]

LILLARD TIME? CHECK THE CLOCK

August 12, 2020 by

Lillard time happens when you join Wilt Chamberlain as the only other NBA player to log three sixty point games in one season. It’s happened enough for Kobe Bryant competitiveness comparisons. And he’s the best thing to happen to the Portland Trail Blazers in every way. Is that saying too much? Not for Blazer fans.

MASCULINITY DISPLAYED: WHO IS OLD ENOUGH FOR OLD SCHOOL SPORTS

May 21, 2020 by

I heard masculinity displayed on sports talk radio. It wasn’t the same version shared by Kareem and Coach Wooden. (Do you know their story?) Jason Whitlock recently explained how the Michael Jordan documentary The Last Dance appealed to him: Jordan was just an old school, manly, sort of guy doing old school and manly things. […]

PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS IMPROVE MEMORY

April 18, 2017 by

Memory problems? Let the Portland Trail Blazers help. This Easter a sign kept popping up: “At my age I can hide my own eggs and half an hour later won’t know where they are.” Ha. Ha. Ha? What’s so funny? I forget. Except memory loss is no laughing matter. You want to remember important things, […]

NBA PLAYERS RETURN TO OREGON ROOTS

May 29, 2016 by

Would the Blazers be better with local NBA players on the roster? Sometimes it works out when the guys come back home to play, sometimes not, but who wouldn’t want Klay Thompson and Kevin Love on the Blazers? Minnesota and Cleveland see Love close up. Oakland gets their fair share of Klay. In Portland they’d […]

THE NBA NEEDS TO LEARN PORTLAND

July 2, 2015 by

NBA Free Agents Need A Class Of What To Expect In Oregon. Hearing the Portland Trail Blazers called small market by sports experts is like hearing Wesley Matthews called The Undrafted Wesley Matthews. It’s old, tired, and worn out. Is small market Portland smaller than Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, or Orlando? The NBA needs better communication, […]

WORST MOVIE EVER MADE, AND DONALD STERLING

April 30, 2014 by

Mandingo And The Man. The first time I saw the name Mandingo was on a theater marquee in Philadelphia, 1975. A slave drama from the old South was before it’s time, before Unchained and 12 Years. I didn’t go in. Ken Norton played the title role. Years later I checked out the VHS version from […]
