This isn't going to be very long tonight. What should have been a blow out turned out to be a defensively deficient, low scoring, jump shot, chuck-fest on behalf of the Portland Trail Blazers and Washington Wizards. The Blazers barely escaped with a win on the last second buzzer beater by Brandon Roy. The Wizards have now won zero games out of their last 10. The final score: Blazers 76, ...

Opponent: Washington Wizards Line: -12.5 Gambler's Record: 22-24-1 "You are a smelly, pirate, hooker!" - Ron Burgundy, Anchorman The Wizards have lost 11 of their last 12 games. Of those 11 losses, seven have been by double digits. This is a terrible team, and if the Blazers have taught us anything this season, it's that they can beat bad teams. They are especially good at beating bad ...

As reported by Jason Quick : Tom Penn, the right-hand man of general manager Kevin Pritchard, has been fired by the Trail Blazers, The Oregonian has learned. Tuesday's decision comes nearly 10 months after Penn was promoted to Vice President of Basketball Operations. It is unknown why Penn was fired, but it is believed to have come from owner Paul Allen and not Pritchard. Wait, what? Just like that? Penn was ...

First of all, I have to give some serious credit to the Blazers for the work they've done over the last seven days. Following a disappointing loss in Denver last Sunday, the Blazers went on to beat the Kings at home, then Golden State and Sacramento on the road, and finished off the stretch with a win tonight at home against Toronto. Sophia recapped the first three wins here , ...

The Sacramento Kings billed tonight’s match up between the Portland Trailblazers as the epic battle to the death between Roy and [future] R.O.Y., Tyreke Evans.  A nice play on words and acronyms, but the fun for the Kings stopped there as the Blazers came into Sacramento and dominated the Kings practically from the tip. For the second night  in a row, the Blazers scored 110 points, while holding the Kings ...

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! THEY DID IT! WOOOTTTT WOOOTTTTT! Ahem. Excuse me. Last night against the Warriors, Brandon Roy reached another milestone in his young, phenomenal career—he finally beat the Warriors in Oracle Arena. The Portland Trail Blazers came into Oakland, California having not won there since 2004. On the back of Brandon Roy, who had 24 first half points and 41 overall, the Blazers finally beat the Golden State Warriors in Oakland: 110 to 105. By ...

But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly." - Winston Churchill Oracle Arena has been a house of horrors for the Portland Trailblazers over the ...

The Blazers will try to end a nine game losing streak in Oakland's Oracle Arena.   Golden State Warriors coverage at Golden State of Mind . Blazers Analysis Warriors PG Andre Miller will have a big impact on this game tonight. For some reason, Portland has played poorly against these Warriors, and Andre will be the one who settles the offense, changes the pace, and manages the game. His opponent, Stephen Curry, has really found a groove ...

  Blazers Analysis Kings PG Andre Miller continues to make plays to disrupt slow or lethargic offense created by the Blazers. Even more so than any stat line he provides, the change of pace and recognizing when the team needs a boost is what I've noticed lately. Udrih and Miller put up similar numbers, Andre slightly better, but I think the thing that will set Andre apart in this matchup will be his game management. ...
