Darius is Back!
There is truly no preview needed. This will be the last game of an era and a weird one at that. The Blazers will field last year’s lineup with Joel Przybilla at he center, and it could be the last for a number of Blazers such as Travis Outlaw and Sergio Rodriguez.
It’s fitting that Darius Miles comes into town for this game. A relic from the Blazers’ past will be part of the farewell to another era of Blazers basketball. It’s also one of those great coincidences that the main reason the Blazers are so eager to trade right now is Miles and his ugly contract going back on the salary. I hope at some point Miles walks up to Travis and gives him a headband, saying, “Where you’re going, you’ll finally be able to wear one of these.”
And yeah, the Blazers should win, and OJ Mayo looks like he’s 40 years old.
