New York Knicks coverage at Knicks Fanatics . Blazers Analysis Heat PG Andre Miller has really been good for the Blazers lately, he's finding his role and working well. You'd think at home that Chris Duhon might be playing better, but for some reason he is an awful shooter at home. He's averaging 6.7 points and 6.2 assists per game. He's been disappointing for New York thus far, and I expect it to continue. ...

When I woke up this morning, the very first thing I thought about and remembered from last night was Greg Oden's injury. It's been on my mind all day long. I've been reading reactions all day and I even watched the replay of the injury. I'm still in awe, so many things have changed now. Anyway, here are some of the things I've been reading: TrueHoop ( Hollinger ...

Box Score Last night, the Trail Blazers ended their three-game losing streak at a very steep cost. Winning 90-89 over the pesky Rockets isn't worth losing Greg Oden again, for the rest of the season. This was one of the tighter games Portland has played this season; the score was close throughout. After Oden's departure in the first quarter, guys who we needed to step up did come through. Brandon Roy ...

Nate McMillan will have to miss some games on the Portland bench. McMillan will undergo surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon. The surgury is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 7. He is expected to miss four games of the team's upcoming road trip and return for Saturday's home game vs. Houston. Assistant coach Dean Demopoulos will take over until McMillan returns. I wonder how the team will play in his ...

Why the Channing Frye title? I guess because I like the guy and am happy for his success in Phoenix. Another possible explanation: I want to be distracted from the Blazers. Frye's new situation has him running the court and launching three pointers. He's good at that. So far Frye is 12th overall in three-point field goal percentage , and an astounding fourth in three point makes per game ...

Adrian Wojnarowski is hearing that the Blazers are looking for a forward ...and Andre Miller might be trade bait. Travis Outlaw returns to Portland , and even though he won't play until March, his presence is definitely a positive. Sean Meagher gets the low down from Jason Quick in their latest podcast. Plenty of good topics if you were too focused on the Civil War ...

The Blazers are currently in the midst of a three-game losing streak with three ugly losses in the last week (two of those at home). From under-performing players, poor defense, questionable coaching, and injuries, there are any number of excuses you could argue for the reasons of this atrocious streak of play. The Blazer players have had mental lapses, and their minds are not in the right place. Here are some ...

BOX SCORE Don't let the final score fool you, the Blazers got crushed again. By the Heat. In Portland. Let's just get through this recap the best we can. LaMarcus Aldridge sat out nursing a banged knee. On the positive side he looked very debonair in his suit. In his place the Blazers started rookie Dante Cunningham, who provided some much needed hustle. Energy like Cunningham’s is something I am ...
