Lack of personnel for the Trail Blazers hadn't been a problem lately, but last night Portland finally tripped up and fell to the Clippers in Los Angeles. Brandon Roy was covered like a glove, but the scrappy Blazers put together a solid effort before eventually falling short 105-95. This was the type of game that presumably would have ended in a loss during the Blazers' recent stretch of wins. Guys played hard, ...

Los Angeles Clippers coverage at Clipper Blog. á Point Guard Baron Davis had a rough shooting night in Portland last week. For whatever reason he never got going, but I'm sure he'll turn that around at home tonight. This is a veteran matchup that should be fun to watch from a savvy standpoint. The Blazers also plan on recalling Patty Mills; perhaps he gets into this game and shows the NBA a ...

á As the injuries mount, so do the wins for the Trail Blazers. Against additional odds, the Blazers overcame having only eight active players and finished off the Warriors in Portland, 105-89. At a certain point, I guess basketball is about who wants it more. The Warriors came out hot in the first quarter tonight, piling up 41 points and making every shot they took.

Los Angeles Clippers coverage at Clipper Blog . Blazers Analysis Clippers PG Baron Davis is capable of tearing Portland apart. Last year, in the first meeting between the Blazers and Clippers in Portland, Baron scored 27 points. He tied the game in regulation with a huge three then killed us in overtime. Our guards can't defend him, so it really just depends if he's on or not. I'm thinking he will be, coming off ...

BOX SCORE The Blazers lost at home to a not so good Philly team. The Sixers shot nearly sixty-percent from the field and had 60 points in the paint.

Point Guards Allen Iverson has missed the 76ers last four games but is expected to return tonight. It doesn't really matter if Iverson is there or not, he's not going to make a difference in the Sixers getting a win. Andre Miller will have something to prove against his old team, and Steve Blake has his touch back from long range. I think our point guards dominate here. Advantage: Blazers á Shooting Guards Brandon Roy will ...

Last Monday, apparently not trusting our team, feeling disheartened by injuries ...
