http://trailpost.today.com MAN CRUSH ON MARTELL WEBSTER SINCE 2008 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:40:09 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en You know, this April, we're going to look back on this run and laugh. We'll be eating some delicious wings, put some bleu cheese dressing on 'em, and reminisce over that weekend where the Blazers let two teams shoot over 60%. You see, 60% is that magic mark ... http://trailpost.today.com/2009/11/30/weekend-in-review-5/ This wasn't the worst loss of the season. A loss to a fully manned Memphis Grizzlies team is not as bad as losing to the barely-manned Golden State Warriors. Let's just get that out of the way before we get into that abomination of a game. It ... http://trailpost.today.com/2009/11/28/post-game-blazers-vs-grizz/ I announce my findings. It is tragic. It is tragic. It is tragic. I have in my hand, as I write this column, a list of Portland Trail Blazers players who are card-carrying members of the Communist Party of America. Now you may ask, how are you typing while ... http://trailpost.today.com/2009/11/27/john-canzano-i-have-a-list-of-five-trail-blazers-who-are-card-carrying-communists/ Thank goodness the people playing on the floor in the Rose Garden cared about last night's game because in the stands, it was pretty dire. This thing wasn't in question even when Jersey had us tied up. The only thing that was in question was whether my co-worker ... http://trailpost.today.com/2009/11/26/post-game-blazers-vs-nets/ This was a perfect game to watch from the back rows of the 300 section. Where I was sitting, directly behind the basket, not only worked in the sense that I could see everything happening on the floor, but also in the sense that the angle made the game ... http://trailpost.today.com/2009/11/24/post-game-blazers-vs-bulls/ So, it's finally dead. Thank goodness. The three guard lineup, the greatest fluke of the season, died an unceremonious death Friday night in Oakland, as the 7-man Warriors absolutely destroyed the Blazers by 14 points. Before we take a look at the game, let's just reminisce over ... http://trailpost.today.com/2009/11/23/weekend-in-review-4/ Our buddies over at Rip City Project posted this originally, but it's a great piece of work from everyone's favorite advanced stat-head punching bags, the Wages of Win Journal. In their quest to bring baseball-like number crunching to basketball, they give each player a specific win percentage rating. ... http://trailpost.today.com/2009/11/20/blazers-best-in-the-west/ Before all of that ridiculousness that happened last night, there's something that needs to be addressed. Ken Griffey Jr. and Ken Griffey Sr. were at the game. Is there a reason they were down here? I don't know, I never got to ask. Maybe they were here because ... http://trailpost.today.com/2009/11/19/post-game-blazers-vs-pistons/ These games are coming on pretty fast and furiously, aren't they? Jesus, it's just an onslaught. No wonder we're getting beat up by freak injuries such as Travis pivoting and Jerryd Bayless getting felled by bad upholstery. What's next? LaMarcus Aldridge gets a gunshot wound from ... http://trailpost.today.com/2009/11/16/weekend-in-review-3/ Why? Why? Why couldn't this have happened last season? Okay, that's mean. No one wants a player to get injured, no matter how they play. But, this is especially true when the player is showing serious growth for what seems like the first time in his career. It ... http://trailpost.today.com/2009/11/15/travis-outlaw-injured/
