Notes from the other side -- Jazz vs Blazers
Monday, February 19, 2007
Some headlines from the Portland area about tomorrow night's Jazz vs. Blazers game:
* Cool feature about the 1977 Portland TrailBlazers championship team. This team, along with the 1975 Warriors, 1979 Sonics and 2004 Pistons were probably the biggest underdogs to win an NBA title.
* Blazers G Brandon Roy doesn't wear a headband for the Blazers, but he tried on on during the rookie/sophomore game.
* BlazersEdge predicts Portland (22-32) probably won't win as much in the second half of the season, given the team's inconsistent play. Additionally, they wouldn't be surprised to see Juan Dixon get shipped off to free up time for rookie sensation Sergio Garcia.
* Great story from the Portland Tribune on something I didn't know: The City of Roses has never hosted an NBA All-Star game.
* Imagine how Portland would be this season if the Knicks had pulled the trigger and sent F David Lee there last season? Newsday says that deal almost happened.
