PIMPING FOR NBA PORTLAND

July 4, 2015 by

Do NBA players leave Portland for cities with hotter women? The idea of Portland being such a small market that it can’t attract top tier NBA free agents is a laugh. Not so much the notion that Portland can’t support the needs of top tier NBA guys. As a long time married man, twenty nine […]

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, […]

AN NBA FINALS HEADACHE

June 12, 2015 by

Game 4 Of The NBA Finals Draws Blood. Just when the old lawman has the new band of outlaws rounded up in Cleveland, this happens: They break out. Keep in mind the old lawman, Sheriff LeBron, is an ancient thirty year old. His age isn’t important unless you compare him to Steph Curry. When you […]

PORTLAND BOOMER’S NBA BURDEN

May 20, 2015 by

Notes On A Bitter Blazer Fan’s NBA Burden. Sport’s fans watch. Maybe they have some game. Maybe they used to have some game. Either way they mostly watch. And yell. Maybe drink a beer. After enough beer they compare their game to the players they see on TV. Most sports fans compare themselves favorably, the […]

PORTLAND WINS FOR AMERICA

May 14, 2015 by

Why America Needs Portland In The NBA Finals. How many times did you see the San Antonio River Walk last year during the Spurs run? The Alamo? After four playoff rounds, what else is there to see? From the first series to the last the River Walk looked better and better, but it got a […]

LaMARCUS AT LARGE

May 1, 2015 by

Why The Spurs Need LaMarcus Aldridge More Than Portland. It’s been nine years. Nine years with LaMarcus Aldridge as the reluctant star. If he hasn’t assumed his proper position as an NBA champ in Portland, he deserves to get there someplace else. Look at LA’s face and you see the drive to greatness. He wants […]

TRAIL BLAZERS TAKE A LOW BLOW

April 2, 2015 by

One Trail Blazer knows how to give it, one how to take it. If ever a team needed a solid stiff arm on the way to victory it was Portland Wednesday night in the Moda Center. Instead, it was the Los Angeles Clippers’ Chris Paul delivering the winning shot. In more ways than one. During […]

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOR INDIANA?

April 1, 2015 by

Religious Freedom For Jim Nabors? For all you hear about Oregon, from overpriced Portland, to overpriced craft beer, to almost the lowest high school graduation rate in the nation, we’ve got perks. We might be raising tomorrow’s morons, but all is not lost. At least we try to keep gay bashing low on the legislative […]

OKC THUNDER AND STARBUCKS

March 25, 2015 by

The Coffee Man and OKC Thunder Share A Cup. Before they morphed into the OKC Thunder, your NBA Oklahoma City Thunder, they were the Seattle Supersonics. Everybody knows this, or ought to. The Sonics were Portland’s best rival on the west coast. Better than the Warriors who just spanked the Blazers, better than the Kings, […]

THE NBA EDUCATION OF DAMIAN LILLARD

March 5, 2015 by

In the era of One And Done college players, Damian Lillard went the distance. With no other reason but a promise to his mom and himself, Lillard finished his college education. How hard is it to earn a college degree? People with a Masters or PhD act like a Bachelor’s degree was nothing, like they […]
