Award Watch: Rookie Rankings

05 Jan 2009 22:00:00 PST

Written by Joel Brigham jbrigham@hoopsworld.com
At the start of the season I never thought I'd be able to justify leaving both Greg Oden and Michael Beasley out of the top five rookies two weeks in a row yet here we are. I also wouldn't have predicted the success of guys like Russell Westbrook and Brook Lopez, but so it goes in the NBA sometimes...

Instead of a typical 316 report on the Lakers 100-86 win over Portland I'd like to break down the first real match-up (Oden injured his knee and barely played back on opening night) between Greg Oden and Andrew Bynum. In all reality we are at least 2 years before both players are relevant foca...

The Seattle Blazer: Royless

03 Jan 2009 22:42:41 PST

Written by Pete Treperinas
The deep bench that the Portland Trailblazers boast has finally paid off. Star guard Brandon Roy has now missed two games, and with Jerryd Bayless, Steve Blake, Sergio Rodriguez, and Rudy Fernandez holding down both the point and shooting guard position, Portland defeated the Celtics.

Blazers Trip Up Boston...

Not sure if I do it enough... but I loathe everything about Boston sports, sans the Bruins. Surely, they're next in line to win a title. Boston fans are passionate and very loyal, almost too much. But when it comes to the Patriots, Red Sox, and especially the Celtics losing....I get downright gid...

Nate on whether the physical play helped Greg: "Yeah. Whatever it is. I like what I saw. O'Neal is very physical. That hard foul he had on Greg - Greg just walked to the free throw line. It didn't even faze him. That is the mental part of the game. We've got to be able to play through a hard foul. OK, I'll get...

Opinion: Brandon Roy's 52 Leads Blazers in Victory Over Suns

Written by Drew Barton
Any time he has an opportunity, Greg Oden should feel free to attempt that. It has a pretty good chance of going in. The final box score tells you all you need to know. In the picture above, Roy had 50 points. For those who don't follow Portland, his jersey number is seven.

Blazers Season Preview Part 4: Five Keys to Success

Written by Dave
Communication is an underrated skill. Mostly we think of the inspirational locker room speech. I’m not sure that matters much. What does matter is calling out reads on defense, being aware of all five players on offense, and being able to negotiate through rough spots. Sometimes the Bla...

All thanks to Greg Oden. The setting for this tale is Hawaii, shortly after the Blazers season ended in April. Much of the Blazers basketball staff and Oden were awarded a retreat of sorts to the island by owner Paul Allen to help break up the monotony of Oden's rehabilitation workouts.

Oden will also eventually affect our running game positively. As we’ve said for the better part of a year now, Lamarcus and Travis are going to be able to fly more when Greg is rebounding. He’s going to make the opponent take longer shots more often, leading to long rebounds and breaks. His p...

I asked if he was disappointed that the Durant-Oden showdown blew up, and he talked around it, saying their concern is for the player not the game. Stephen A. is doing a sit-down interview with Durant though. Greg, that could have been you. Norby did say “It’s unfortunate.” Be careful Greg.

By the way, I didn’t make a big deal about Oden. The Blazers themselves did; and it blew up in their face. The website comparing Oden to Durant, the big parade in downtown Portland that attracted over 5,000 people. Both those things went overboard. And if you don’t think that’s not a sign that Por...
