Dallas Mavericks coverage at Two Man Game . Blazers Analysis Mavs PG With only four games left in the season, and so much playoff seeding yet to be determined, Andre Miller knows what's at stake. This may not be the most important of the last four games of the season, but it could be an indicator of what will happen in the playoffs. If Portland ends up playing Dallas in the first round, tonight ...

I would like to start by noting it is extremely satisfying to see the Blazers win games they are supposed to win. With their solid win over the woeful Clippers, they continue an impressive run, winning 11 of their last 13. What is even more satisfying? The Blazers moved from eighth to sixth place in the Western Conference standings. The Blazers dominated the Clippers in almost every category and the final ...

This Koponen update brought to you by Hippo is inspiring. It makes me want to write a blog entry of my own someday (maybe). First off, The Finnagler has been named Serie A Player of the Week . You can check out some of his recent highlights, along with an awesome generic rock soundtrack, here (apparently Italy does not have embed video technology yet). Then there is this newspaper article ...

The playoffs are right around the corner and one possible match-up was on display Thursday night in the Mile High City, as the Portland Trail Blazers took on the Denver Nuggets. Although the Blazers gave much lip service to taking this game seriously, they played off tonight, matching the eerily low energy from the crowd and perhaps allowing the low intensity atmosphere to sap any motivation they may have had. The ...

Since the Portland Trail Blazers lost in embarrassing fashion to the Utah Jazz at the end of Feb., they have lost only three times (two of those against Western Conferen playoff teams). Perhaps a combination of an easier schedule, more time off, a healthier Brandon Roy, and solidified starting unit, the Blazers are finally taking care of business heading down the home stretch, and all but guaranteeing their spot in ...

The following is a reflection and commentary on my time as a Portland Trailblazers season ticket holder, but it easily applies to anyone who has ever owned season tickets to any professional sports team. NBA? NFL? MLB? NHL? NCAA? Whatever the acronym is for soccer? Different sports, same experiences. Read on and tell me if I'm wrong. Four seasons ago two friends and I bought ...

Box Score For the first time since the '98-'99 season, the Blazers took a season series from the Dallas Mavericks. Thanks to a steady performance from our main contributors, Portland fought off the Mavericks all night and eventually finished strong with a 101 to 89 victory to make the season series 3-0, with only one game remaining next month. Considering the trouble Portland has had against the Mavericks in the last decade, ...

Main Entry: dra·ma Pronunciation: \ˈdrä-mə, ˈdra-\ 3 a : a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces. b : dramatic state, effect, or quality   Last week, fans and local media were thrown for a loop when Tom Penn, Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Portland Trail Blazers, was fired for no apparent reason. It was a slow week for a fan ...

In the last two weeks since getting trounced by Denver on March 7, the Blazers have  had a lot of rest and beat plenty of non-playoff worthy opponents. A five game winning streak kept Portland's hopes alive to move up in the Western Conference playoff seeding. But last night was a different test: a nationally televised game against a playoff team from the West. There was plenty of good to ...
