Restoring Order

The Blazers have lost tough games on the road. When the Blazers return to the Garden they play a whole new game. Teams come in the Garden ready to take advantage of the young Blazers, but that quickly changes. Portland is the second youngest team in the NBA. The energy in the Garden is what fuels this team to winning. For a vetran team, home cour advantage doesnt really matter. But to a young team looking for a new start after a tough loss, all the Blazers need is the support of the crowd. Restoring order is what the Blazers do when they are in the Garden. We might loose on the road, but this young team puts up a fight when there in front of there fans.

Broadcaster's Broadcasting The Game

Fans of Portland, Fans of anywhere. It has struck me that Mike Barrett and Mike Rice,Portland Trail Blazers Broadcasters just might be the most talented Telivision Play by Play announcers. Game in and Game out they give spectacular insight to the Blazers. They make no excuses for the Blazers when problems occur, and they dont make a big deal when the Blazers show a glimpse of Beyond the glory talent. No MB and mr. (the coach) Rice just tell it how it is. Now as for the other 30 Teams in the NBA who have Broadcaster's, did the idea of a fine ever cross your mind? Well it did for me and has on ocasion. I have seen and listend to other NBA Broadcasters including Charles Barkley Slam teams for no reason. The TNT crew and the ESPN Crew who host on National Telivision the NBA should be fined for things that are said on broadcast. If i could replay the number of times the Blazer's have been slamed by these guys, i feel they deserve a fine. Now i am not saying the Blazers are perfect, but give credit where credit is earned. Charles Barkley and these guys continue to show no respect and no regard for respecting a team. The Blazers have changed the Franchise has changed and as you can tell by the fan response, the city has reunited with this team. So someone needs to say enough is enough the Blazers are young yes, but lets not hold this team back in arrogance and ridicule for the past. Thats what i see, thats what i think and Fans its your turn to say what you want to say.......Lets Talk Sports

Who Takes The Spot Light?

The Second youngest team in the NBA has finally run into a problem few would think would come so soon. With the addition of Oden (Now Playing as of 2008) Rudy Fernandez, and of course last seasons leader Brandon Roy ?. Last season hands down Brandon won games for the Blazers when it came to the end, but who steps into that role? Who is Portlands saving grace. Oden is big big and bigger,Rudy is the Spanish sensation who was big in Spain and looks to become bigger in the NBA. Then of course we have Roy who could simply make shots to beat teams when it matters,and made Portland proud becoming the rookie of the year. We can't forget he made it to the All-Star game and is gaining respect now from the officials. Supporting acts would be Martel Webster who can lite it up from three and last season's MR. fourth quarter Travis Outlaw. We have great players, we have great fans, but now it becomes about who is the guy? Does the player earn it, or expect it being the role they have been given. Is the Portland Trail Blazers so young winning is above who is who? Is the Strive to get to the playoffs more of a goal then stats for this team. If that be the case, this team and this city has a lot to be proud of. Remember the eye of the prize is the world championship, but sooner or later someone has greedy hands and that could affect this RIP CITY REVIVAL. Give me you thoughts, who do you think can make the difference to get us to the promise land? Or will the idea of not enough for one of the Blazers take the team down. I have said what i have said, now its your turn. Lets talk sports

The Game today The ALL-STARS today Hall of fame Disgraces today

NBA All Stars? Terrible Leaders,soon to be Hall Of Fame DISGRACES: Most NBA players wine and cuss and jabber but thats the only way to become a All-Stars and get the numbers they need to be the best. They only have a chance to get the numbers they want to become ALL-STARS if the calls are not made. Most of these guys play for a playoff team, and they cuss and threaten players on the other team and jabbers to the officials, and they are happy they are the kings of basketball, wait? They are not the kings, no they are not amazing and they are lucky the have the gift to play the game. They are not All Star? What a disgrace to the NBA. I am angry that the NBA officials allow the players to talk the way they do on the court, I just graduated from high school if we talk like that on the court we would be thrown out. In college it cant be much easier, Good sportsmanship is what we are working for. So why do players get to trash talk other players and jabber to the officials after a justified call and glide through the game. knowing the calls will not be made In general not all of the players who are ALL-STARS get ALL Star treatment. The NBA is just getting betting on the games off their back? I thought the NBA wouldn't allow such terrible behavior occur, then why let these players have it there way? Will someone ever say thats enough. If this is the future of the NBA officiating I'm really embarrassed for who we are going to call our ALL-STARS and Hall of fame players.

America's new theme CHANGE,wait.......CHANGE has already come to Proffesional sports

Today we talk about America and the Economy and the CHANGE that needs to happen. Tommorow we talk about what the new president will do for CHANGE in our country. We talk about how CHANGE would affect immigrants,gays, and abortion in our country. How about sports and the CHANGE that has needed to happen. We talk about the CHANGE that needs to happen in steroids for MLB, We talk about the CHANGE that needs to happen In the NFL, for stealing plays to rig the game. How about all the medals taken away from Medalists after they are tested for taking steroids to win in the Olympics. Oh yes we are working on CHANGE for that. Betting on NBA games, we are working on CHANGE for that. We can't forget about all the new ways collegiat teams are recruiting students in highschool legal,but not really, but that is going to CHANGE to. CHANGE has already come to america. Good idea Barack Obama and congrats on becoming the first African Amercan President in history, But the Idea for CHANGE in this country has been given and as you can tell the CHANGE has yet to make in impact on proffesional sports.
