Welcome, everybody. Last night wasn't pretty if you're a Blazers fan. But Portland has another chance tonight as they take on the Wizards in D.C.

Need a win....real bad....

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:53 tom

3:53	Who will win tonight? Blazers ( 44% ) Wizards ( 56% ) Saturday March 10, 2012 3:53

3:54

Antraxx:

However I don't think the Blazers will beat twice by the Wizards in one season

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:54 Antraxx

3:54

The Oregonian:

If the Blazers lose tonight ... well, it's not good.

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:54 The Oregonian

3:54

The Oregonian:

Fair point. Wizards did just beat the Lakers, though.

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:54 The Oregonian

3:54

tom:

Good for the draft if it continues...

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:54 tom

Silver lining, Tom.

So if we lose , do you guys think nate will be fired?

Nate will likley be gone after this season either way

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:55 Antraxx

3:55

tom:

Nate is in trouble and every game we lose it grows...

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:55 tom

3:55

Antraxx:

but I don't think he'll be fired or traded on the 15th

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:55 Antraxx

3:55

The Oregonian:

If they get blown out, maybe McMillan gets fired, but I still doubt it will happen imminently.

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:55 The Oregonian

[Comment From GuestGuest: ]

do you think we will get rondo

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:55 Guest

3:56

The Oregonian:

Doubt it.

[Comment From JimJim: ]

I hope MB mentions Jason Bjaranson at the beginning of the broadcast.

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:56 Jim

3:56

The Oregonian:

Definitely. Thoughts go out to that family.

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:56 The Oregonian

[Comment From DanielDaniel: ]

I think batum for rondo would be a great deal for us...

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:56 Daniel

[Comment From GuestGuest: ]

who is a good possibility of us getting

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:56 Guest

3:57

The Oregonian:

I just doubt the Blazers will make a splashy move. So more on the level of Ridnour, Sessions, etc.

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:57 The Oregonian

3:57

[Comment From DanielDaniel: ]

I say sign aaron brooks when hes done in China

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:57 Daniel

3:57

tom:

There are advantages to firing him before the season ends and also after..He probably will get to finish it out..We owe him that much..It will be brutal to watch..

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:57 tom

3:57

Antraxx:

but I don't think he'll be fired or traded on the 15th

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:57 Antraxx

Antraxx:

hmm why did that double post

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:57 Antraxx

3:58

[Comment From JasonJason: ]

Batum for rondo? Boston would never. Would take more like Batum Felton and maybe a draft pick.

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:58 Jason

3:58

The Oregonian:

That might do it, but still not sure Celtics would do it.

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:58 The Oregonian

3:58

tom:

Rondo can play...

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:58 tom

3:59

The Oregonian:

He's great.

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:59 The Oregonian

3:59

Antraxx:

4 triple doubles this season, if I heard right

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:59 Antraxx

[Comment From JasonJason: ]

He's on my fantasy team :) lol love him

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:59 Jason

3:59

tom:

The Blazers are in turmoil and many players would worry about coming here..Joel is thinking twice..

Saturday March 10, 2012 3:59 tom

3:59

Daniel:

we almost owe joel a buy out so he can go to miami

[Comment From raphraph: ]

I have been off for a few games, now i am back so the Blazers should win ^^

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:00 raph

4:00

Jason:

How about: Batum Felton Camby for Nash and gortat...

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:00 Jason

4:00

Daniel:

Batum + felton for rondo you got a deal..

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:00 Daniel

4:00

The Oregonian:

Does Phoenix want to move Gortat? I would think they'd want to hold onto him.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:00 The Oregonian

4:01

Jason:

I've heard rumors both ways.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:01 Jason

4:01

Antraxx:

dang didn't know about Adam's brother. That's horrible

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:01 Antraxx

4:01

The Oregonian:

Nah, I think Boston would want a pick, too, in that Rondo deal.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:01 The Oregonian

4:01

tom:

Poor Joel....Such high hopes...Still might happen but each game the team looks worse

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:01 tom

4:01

[Comment From samsam: ]

Can we get someone to make LMA mad so he plays with some passion?

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:01 sam

4:01

Jason:

Assuming they do though.. That may be a deal they would make. But my guess is they probably don't really want to move gortat unless it is in a blockbuster move for them.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:01 Jason

4:01

raph:

Get josh smith here with hinrich, or sessions if it's easier

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:01 raph

BlazerFreeman:

@johnhollinger bah-zing. [via Twitter]

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:02 BlazerFreeman

4:02

Jason:

Yeah Batum Felton and a pick for rondo. At least. Even then, I doubt Boston wants felton as their pg so they prolly wouldn't.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:02 Jason

4:02

The Oregonian:

If you have Aldridge, why do you want Josh Smith, too? Move Aldridge to the 5?

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:02 The Oregonian

4:02

Daniel:

We cant trade our 2012 first round back due to us not having a 2013

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:02 Daniel

4:02

tom:

We hold the rights to a couple Euro dudes...Throw them in also to get Rondo..

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:02 tom

4:02

raph:

alridge needs to play both 4 and 5 and with smith we would have the rebounder/post presence we missing so badly

We missed picking and had the chance..Jordon, Bird, Stockton, McAdoo, Durant, Barkley and so on..

Wall drive and score, which ties it at 27-27.

Or was it John Nash?

john nash was an idiot

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:36 FatonSucks

NewEraBlazer:

Yep, played one of the worst teams in the league to a draw in the first quarter.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:36 NewEraBlazer

Colleen:

I hope it counts - that was a great shot

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:36 Colleen

bige12:

Portland hasn't given up less then 27 in the first quarter since the all-star break ended. My that's pathetic defense.

Won't count...

High scoring so far...Pushing a 100+ game..that is good for us..

Normally, I'd desire more than a tie after the first.

gera;d wallace shot that

Ishtar:

Whoever picked Webster, over Chris Paul and Daron Williams. Now that screwed us. That changed the trajectory of the franchise

[Comment From TradeFelton4FoodTradeFelton4Food: ]

Felton = 0/1 FG; 1 Assist; 2 TO - he only played 3min? Too bad Nate didnt play him more so he can get more TO and bricks.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:37 TradeFelton4Food

raph:

he had 2 early fouls

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:37 raph

BlazerFreeman:

John Wall's driving layup with 0.1 seconds left in 1st Q ties score at 27-27 between #Blazers and Wizards. Aldridge leads Port w 8 pts. [via Twitter]

NewEraBlazer:

Well, all this speculation on who we passed on in the draft.... seems a little like crying over spilled milk.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:37 NewEraBlazer

4:37

The Oregonian:

Yeah, but they traded down and picked Webster because they had taken Telfair the year before, so they thought they were set at PG. Right?

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:37 The Oregonian

4:37

raph:

but you wish he had early fouls for every game ^^

Colleen:

Agree with NEB

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:38 Colleen

bige12:

Ishtar, I believe that was Allen over-ruling Patterson, who did want Chris Paul.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:38 bige12

FatonSucks:

the telfair pick is the reason why we have the roster today

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:38 FatonSucks

Paul Allen needs somebody to tell him he's a basketball idiot.

tom:

The draft is a gamble..What I didn't like about Oden was past injuries..

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:38 tom

4:38

NewEraBlazer:

Faton, that's an oversimplification of the highest order.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:38 NewEraBlazer

4:38

Ishtar:

And who drafted Telfair btw

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:38 Ishtar

4:38

The Oregonian:

Matthews makes it 29-27 Blazers.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:38 The Oregonian

The Blazers are lucky to get out of the first tied with all th turnovers and points in the pain alowed

if we didnt pick telfair, we prolly wouldnt gotten roy

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:39 Guest

bige12:

However, had we gotten Paul, we never would have ended up with Roy and Aldridge, who came a year later.

Yeah, but looking at that.... it's just pointless.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:39 NewEraBlazer

The Oregonian:

Crawford fouled.

Saturday March 10, 2012 4:39 The Oregonian

the telfaire pick led to webster and outlaw

We could have had the best team ever to set foot on the basketball court, if the rest of the NBA had just stopped caring who they drafted or traded for.

31-27 Blazers.
