2008-04-17 19:50:00 I am one happy Blazer fan today, a .500 season! The season ended last night with a 100-91 loss to the Phoenix Suns. That is NOTHING new from the past several season. And, once again, the Blazers are not a Western Conference playoff team. Again, nothing new there. What is new is the spirit that I and ...

RIP City is Back, Even Without Greg Oden [Snave]
2007-10-26 20:41:00 I have been a fan of the Portland Trailblazers since the inception of the franchise, and it still looks like ?Rip City? is on the way back from the dreary "Jail Blazer" days of Isaiah Rider, Shawn Kemp, Qyntell Woods, Bonzi Wells, etc. despite the loss of #1 NBA draft pick Greg Oden for the season to knee surgery. Why am I optimistic?Last season, SG Brandon Roy was the NBA?s top rookie. Big man LaMarcus Aldridge (pictured above) was developing into a good ballplayer, and SF Martell Webster and SF/PF Travis Outlaw continued to make strides. In his second season at PG, Jarrett Jack did a good job for coach Nate McMillan. Add in the fact that 7-foot defensive specialist Joel Przybilla seems to be healthy and Channing Frye has been added in the offseason trade of Zach Randolph (dubbed ?Z-Fat? by many Blazer fans) to the Knicks, and it seems like Portland is definitely a team on the way up. PG Steve Blake was added to the roster, and he may actually start at his position. F James Jones w...

Greg Oden Undergoes Surgery
2007-09-15 01:30:00 The top pick in this year’s NBA draft, Greg Oden will miss his first season with the Portland Trail Blazers after surgery on his right knee Thursday. Doctors found cartilage damage during an exploratory procedure, and team physician Dr. Don Roberts performed micro fracture surgery to repair the damage. He is expected to be on crutches for up to eight weeks. Full recovery likely will take six to 12 months, the team said. It was his second health problem since the Trail Blazers drafted him. He had a tonsillectomy in July after struggling in two Las Vegas summer league games.

Oden se perderá toda la temporada
2007-09-14 00:50:00 El número 1 del pasado Draft, Greg Oden, pasará su primera temporada en la NBA en el dique seco tras pasar por el quirófano. Lo que parecía una artroscopia sin mayor importancia reveló importantes daños en el cartílago de la rodilla (micro rotura del mismo) de Oden que le obligarán a estar de baja un tiempo estimado entre 6 y 12 meses. Precedentes como los de Amare Stoudamire o Penny Hardaway indican que es un tipo de lesión muy complicada por lo que Greg Oden tendrá que poner todo de su parte para ser capaz de rendir al máximo nivel.Fotografía: gregoden.com

NBA: Greg Oden to Miss the 2007-2008 Season [J. Mark English]
2007-09-13 23:52:00 Well, this is never good. You gotta feel bad for Portland.This is from the NBA:An exploratory arthroscopic surgery performed on Greg Oden today revealed cartilage damage to the Portland Trail Blazers rookie?s right knee. Oden is likely to miss the 2007-08 NBA season. "Greg had an arthroscopy and a micro fracture surgery today," said team physician Dr. Don Roberts, who performed the surgery. "He was found to have articular cartilage damage in his right knee. The area of injury was not large and we were able to treat it with micro fracture, which stimulates the growth of cartilage. There are things about this that are positive for Greg. First of all he is young. The area where the damage was is small and the rest of his knee looked normal. All those are good signs for a complete recovery from micro fracture surgery." Oden is expected to be on crutches for up to eight weeks. Recovery time from micro fracture surgery varies from person to person, but generally takes between six an...

Nba, Greg Oden prima scelta, Belinelli n° 18 per Golden State
2007-07-02 08:26:00 In uno dei draft considerati dagli addetti ai lavori tra i migliori di sempre, l'italiano è stato scelto col n. 18 (primo degli europei) dai Warriors. "Emozione indescrivibile"Meglio di così non poteva andare. Marco Belinelli centra il jackpot, viene scelto con il numero 18 dai Golden State Warriors (che hanno sede a Oakland, nella Bay Area, presso San Francisco) e finisce nella squadra ideale per iniziare la carriera tra i professionisti. Le previsioni della vigilia (si era passati da Detroit e Clippers a Lakers, Phoenix e gli stessi Warriors) sono state persino superate. E non solo l'ex fortitudino entra nei primi 20, primo europeo scelto, secondo straniero dopo il cinese Yi Jianlian (a Milwaukee con la sei), ma va alla corte di un allenatore, Don Nelson, che stima i giocatori del Vecchio Continente, gioca una pallacanestro decisamente "libera", dove i cestisti hanno massima libertà di espressione, e si trova la strada spianata per un minutaggio importante grazie alla cessione d...

My NBA Draft Winners and Losers
2007-06-29 06:51:00 WINNERSPortland TrailblazersSo obviously they are huge winners in getting Oden but they really took it a step further. I absolutely love the deal they swung with the Knicks sending Zack Randolph out East for Steve Francis (once dubbed "Franchise") and Channing Frye. Francis will start at PG while Frye adds depth to the front court. Even though Randolph is a great player he was going to get logjammed with Aldridge and Oden so that was a great move. Portland's starting 5 will be young and tremendous next year and for years to come. This is what I'm looking at for their starting 5: Francis, Roy, Aldridge, Oden, and maybe Frye or Jack. Plus they'll have great youth on the bench with (like I said either Frye or Jack) plus Rudy Fernandez (like him), Taurian Green, and McRoberts. Basically I want to know if it is too late to be a Trailblazers fan? Seattle Super SonicsOnce again they would be winners for the sole fact of just getting Durant. However, they got much much more.

Revised 2007 NBA Mock Draft
2007-06-27 06:16:00 Here's my revised 2007 NBA Mock Draft. After the draft deadline and workouts, I have some changes from my last Mock Draft.1. Portland Trail Blazers- Greg Oden, Ohio St.Please Portland, take Oden. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to take a player with this caliber. Big men like this are hard to come by these days and believe me, he won't disappoint. It would be smart to take him over Kevin Durant.2. Seattle Sonics- Kevin Durant, TexasI bet the Sonics were jumping out of their pants when they heard they had the 2nd pick. Rashard Lewis will not be around anymore and Durant will be able to take his place immediately. He is a franchise type player and once he puts on some mass, he'll be an all star.3. Atlanta Hawks- Al Horford, FloridaI am giving in. I decided to move up Horford a few spots. The Hawks will not waste another pick in drafting another versatile forward that they're loaded with already. The Hawks have many options here... they could use a PG in Mike Conley Jr. bu...

Complete Coverage: NBA Draft [David Stefanini]
2007-06-26 14:50:00 With a lot of things going around in the NBA today I think it is time to do a full rundown of exactly what is going on.First the big news of the day is a potential 4-team trade involving the Celtics, Pacers, T'Wolves, and Lakers. The trade would bring Kevin Garnett to the Lakers to pair with Kobe Bryant. The Celtics would get Jermaine O'Neal, the Pacers would get Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom, and the lonely T'Wolves would get draft picks.Why is this trade likely to happen? The Lakers desperately want to please Kobe. Getting Garnett would make Kobe very happy and stop all the trade talks surrounding him. The Celtics would get an All-Star center to go along with Paul Pierce making them a force in the East. The Pacers would get 2 very good players; one of them being a potential Super-Star. The T'Wolves will finally have let Garnett go after screwing the world and Garnett out of 10 years.Why is the trade not going to happen? Kevin Garnett wants to go to Phoenix. The Lakers are a good...

Durant impresiona a Portland en el workout
2007-06-24 01:47:00 Según publica la prensa local de Portland Kevin Durant, que hasta ahora era el previsible número 2 del próximo Draft, impresionó a los dirigentes de los Blazers durante el workout que realizó el viernes en las instalaciones de la franquicia de Oregon. Pocos días antes Greg Oden tuvo la oportunidad de realizar un workout similar en el que, al parecer, las cosas no le salieron tan bien, ya que comenzó muy nervioso y el propio coach Nate McMillan le recomendó parar durante unos instantes el entrenamiento para que se relajara. Aún así, de cara a la prensa, McMillan y Pritchard se declararon impresionados por lo que habían visto.

¿Problemas físicos de Oden y Noah?
2007-06-19 20:10:00 Recientemente, Sports Illustrated especulaba con la posibilidad de que Oden y Noah tuviesen problemas físicos importantes. Según el artículo, los doctores que analizaron a Oden en Orlando detectaron que la muñeca que ha tenido lesionada buena parte de la temporada no se ha recuperado correctamente, así como su espalda, donde también podría tener algún tipo de lesión. Otro rumor sitúa los supuestos problemas en la rodilla, algo que se podría agudizar por el hecho de que Oden tiene las caderas desalineadas y tiene una pierna más larga que otra. Los agentes de Oden han salido al paso de estas informaciones rapidamente, a las que han quitado toda la credibilidad.Joakim Noah, por su parte, tiene un problema en el hombro que no le permite elevar el brazo al 100%. De hecho, en Orlando paró al hacer 12 repeticiones en el banco de pesas para no dañarlo más. Aún así, su agente Donald Dell le ha restado importancia y ha afirmado que seguirá con los workouts previstos, ya que esperan que en 2 s...

An Interview With Darren Rovell
2007-06-13 15:06:00 When we are kids, we think of sports as nothing more than games being played by larger than life figures. We idolize these men and women, and think they are playing for our city, for our team, because they want to win for the sake of the us - the fans. The process of growing up means many hard truths are learned, and one of those hard truths is that sports are a big business played by rich men on teams owned by even richer men. Billions of dollars worth of transactions take place in sports every year. That is where Darren Rovell comes in.As the leading expert in the world of sports business, Rovell is a busy man. He runs his own blog on cnbc.com called Sports Biz, appears on CNBC television, is a guest on many national radio programs and has written two books, First in Thirst: How Gatorade Turned the Science of Sweat into a Cultural Phenomenon and On the Ball: What You Can Learn About Business From America's Sports Leaders.

Orlando Pre-Draft Camp: Primeras mediciones
2007-06-04 23:52:00 Parece que, de momento, Oden gana la partida a Durant en lo que a las mediciones de Orlando se refiere. Tras los primeros datos publicados, se demuestra que Oden es un especímen único. Greg Oden fue medido en 6'11 sin zapatillas; 7'o'' con ellas y posee una envergadura de 7'4. Es capaz de llegar a las 9'4'' de altura (standing reach), el que más en este Draft y corrió los 3/4 de pista en 3.27 segundos, por los 3.45 de un Durant que fue medido en 6'9'' sin zapatillas y 6'10'' con ellas. Su envergadura también es de 7'4'' y fue pesado en 215 libras. En los tiempos tomados en las series de agilidad Oden tambien fue un segundo más rapido que Durant aunque éste último posee un porcentaje menor de grasa corportal (6,6 frente a 7,8 de Oden). En el salto, Oden es capaz de elevarse más en parado que Durant, mientras que éste es capaz de levantarse más en carrera.

WHICH WILL IT BE? [Snave]
2007-05-23 05:13:00 SO, now that the NBA draft lottery winners have been decided, who will play where? Will the #1 pick be Greg Oden (pictured) or Kevin Durant?I say "winners" because I live in the Pacific Northwest, and against big odds, the Portland Trailblazers won the right to choose first in this year's NBA draft, and the Seattle Supersonics will pick second! I have been a serious Blazers fan for over 30 years, but I have also followed the Sonics for the past 20 years or so. This is sweet!The Portland Oregonian has an unscientific poll going, and so far the fans want the franchise to choose Oden by about a 3-1 margin. I agree, in that a bonafide NBA "big man" only seems to come along once or twice every ten years. Portland's GM Kevin Pritchard wants to meet with both players prior to the draft; it was this interview process which led the team to choose Brandon Roy first last year. During the years when Bob Whitsitt was the Blazers' GM, the team suffered greatly in the character department. Now ...

Greg Oden
2007-04-18 21:03:00 Greg Oden (7'1'', 250 lbs) es el jugador cuya entrada a la NBA ha provocado más revuelo desde la llegada de Lebron James a la liga. Este jugador, natural de Indianapolis, ha sido analizado por los scouts de la prensa especializada desde sus tiempos de High School y ha sido coronado como el próximo gran pivot dominante de la NBA. Su primer año en la Universidad no ha hecho sino confirmar los pronósticos: Oden llevó a su college a la final nacional con una temporada más que interesante.El juego de Oden ha sido comparado con el de los grandes pivots de todos los tiempos y su imponente físico ha tenido un papel clave en el asunto. No solo por la apariencia de Oden (mucho mayor de lo que refleja su edad) sino por su cuerpo, que parece preparado para la NBA. Algunos scouts afirman que podría haber jugado en la liga si no hubiera existido la ley que prohibe dar el salto directamente desde el High School, y esto es algo que salta a la vista en cuanto Oden pisa el parquet.
