The team that was headed straight into the depths of oblivion 24 hours ago is now showing a bright spot or two. 9-5 was completely unacceptable. 10-5? Why that's pretty good. The game started off well...

No rest for the wicked and/or weary. The inbox is jammed again with people offering questions and suggestions about what to do now that Travis Outlaw is down for the next couple of months. Is Juwan Howard the answer? Should the Blazers have kept Ime Udoka or Jarron Collins? Are we now to rain curses upon the Kings and Suns for snatching them up after we dumped them? Should Portland make a trade to...

The Portland Trail Blazers have been on a role for 2 games in a row after Nate McMillan has moved to a 3-guard starting line up with Andre Miller, Brandon Roy and Steve Blake, which has helps the ball to be more distributed across the floor and get more players involved. They were able to beat Minnesota and San Antonio with this new set-up, and Nate will look to continue to execute the up tempo offence...
Tracking Juwan Howard's ill-fated stint with the Portland Trailblazers... Chill out, Juwan Howard. You don't have to be in every picture during the minuscule time you're on the court. We get it, you're in the NBA. The constant reminders and "did you see me cutting down the lane" is a little ostentatious. Andre Miller is doing what he can to get you the easiest shot he can and all you can...
Atlanta Hawks coverage at Hoopinion . Blazers Analysis Hawks PG On Sunday, Steve Blake got his groove back from behind the arc. He led all Portland scorers with 18 points and seemed confident shooting 4 of 5 from deep. Andre Miller never got his game going but against an aging Mike Bibby and rookie Jeff Teague, I like our chances. Andre's turn to do work tonight in the Rose Garden, double digit assists...

Of all the teams gunning to take out the Lakers, the best equipped, at least on...
Tracking Juwan Howard's ill-fated stint with the Portland Trailblazers... Chill out, Juwan Howard. It's just a preseason game. You don't have to go all Rajon Rondo on Jason Richardson. He didn't even do anything, except beat you to the basket because you're like a thousand years old now. Maybe just let this one slide, considering the game didn't mean anything. Even Jason Richardson is confused. He's...
Tracking Juwan Howard's ill-fated stint with the Portland Trailblazers... Chill out, Juwan Howard. You are not Steve Blake's best friend. Prior to this season, he was like everyone else: surprised you were still in the NBA. Now you're all like, "I've got your back, Steve Blake." But Steve Blake is like, "okaaayyy....." Chill out, Juwan Howard
At the heart of the Blazers' struggles is on-court chemistry -- there is none.
