Chauncey is expected to return to the Nuggets line-up tonight, and it could be a problem for Portland. Denver presents a ton of match-up problems already, and Billups will be another test. Not only that, but Ty Lawson has had good games in Chauncey's absence. We will need every ounce of goodness from our ...

Our point guard situation will be tested in a big way against one of the more dynamic guards in the league. Tony Parker has been up and down a bit this year, but these Spurs are capable of beating any team, especially at home. I don't think Blake or Miller can guard Parker, and I'm just glad Bayless ...
I'm struggling to gather my thoughts on this game, even twelve plus hours later. I would love to talk about how the team persevered and fought through adversity, but the Joel Przybilla injury is just too much to get past.
What exactly has Portland done to deserve this?
When Batum, Outlaw and Fernandez got injured, I was frustrated. When Oden went down, I was devastated. Last night, Joel's injury was something even ...
Hello. It is very nice to see you again. Where have I been? How convenient of me to ask. I have just recently crawled out from underneath the rock that I made into my home after Greg Oden went down. Things were rough there for a while but itÆs all good now; birds are chirping, sun is shining, babies smiling, etc. It took me a while to get back here.

This weekend, Portland played a back to back against Orlando and Miami on the front end of a tough four-game road trip. At times in the last couple weeks it seemed that this trip was a daunting task. I thought we could lose all four games, but thanks to the resiliency of our All-Star and the help of certain players who don't play quite enough, The Blazers were able ...
Game 27: Portland Trail Blazers 105, Phoenix Suns 102

BOX SCORE
Jerryd Bayless believers, this one is for you.
Bayless made the most of his opportunities tonight with a career game: 29 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds in 29 minutes. He provided much needed scoring and aggressiveness throughout the game and stepped up even more when the score was tight down the stretch. He scored going to the rim, he scored at the free-throw line, he scored off ...
Former Trail Blazers' center Chris Dudley, who has shown political interest in the state of Oregon, may in fact be announcing his candidacy. Here's his update on Facebook:
"I want to first and foremost thank you for your support and encouragement. Tomorrow, I plan to make a major announcement regarding my potential candidacy for Governor of Oregon and would be honored if you are able to attend. The announcement will take ...
Remember about a month ago, when ESPN's John Hollinger and Chad Ford released the future power rankings for the NBA? Yeah, it was fun because Portland was No. 1 on that list. The talent was apparently there and the future was bright.
A month later, not only have things changed in Portland, but Hollinger and Ford have changed their tune. Portland drops down to six on the list with Orlando, the ...

I'd like to think that our point guards are good enough to beat the Kings group at home. But it's close with the way Steve Blake has played lately and the incredible play of the rookie Tyreke Evans (20 ppg, 5 rpg, 5 apg).
With that kind of production and a quality backup in Udrih, the Blazers have their work cut out ...

Here's what Matt had to say:
We worked with the Blazers Organization to arrange tickets ...
