Episode 008 -- Blazer Laser Podcast
November 18, 2009 07:44Boom. Southern Oregon, Magnum, and yours truly, along with fashionably late arrivee Philthyanimal hit threes--Rudy style--as we go around the Edge, talking about last night's game, the season thus far, other team's attendance (or lackthereof) we've seen, and a bold prediction from Magnum (oh yes, Bill Simmons ins't the only one unafraid and unashamed of trolling for click counts). Let Southern Oregon soothe you. Let Magnum persuade you with his smooth, suave stats. Let Phil...uhh...well he'...
Episode 007 -- Blazer Laser Podcast
August 12, 2009 06:35The podcast strikes again.

Topics for the day include Kirk--Will he fit? Could he work in a 3-guard system with Rudy and Roy? Playoffs--What have we learned from the playoffs?

Episode 003 -- Blazer Laser Podcast
May 03, 2009 00:23The third edition of the "Blazer Laser" has hit the Internet. People are going nuts over this podcast. Get yours before it's gone. We've got SandbergOnSports in the house today, along with Norsktroll, calling in from Germany. Today, we reminisce on the season that was and do a little looking forward to the future (interpretation: I try to figure out how to trade half our team + our 5 draft picks to get Ricky Rubio). Feel free to comment at the thread over at BlazersEdge.com. If you woul...

Episode 001 -- Blazer Laser Podcast
April 25, 2009 23:36Podcast fun! We're starting a new thing around these parts--a Blazers Edge Community Podcast. Today, Sophia (BlazerFan1) and Steven (SandbergonSports), and Josh (that's me!--prezofdeath) kick things off. Normally, the podcast will probably have a little more variety in terms of topics, but for today's edition, all was thrust aside in the name of PLAYOFFS! So, check it out....we had Sophia throwing around the "ultimate fail" willy-nilly, Prez wanting to quintuple-team Scola with Joel, Greg...
Batum To (Supposedly) Start Tomorrow
November 04, 2008 21:47Casey Holdahl has the inside scoop on Batum starting tomorrow First Nicolas Batum was the starting small forward, then Nate McMillan decided to go with Travis Outlaw at the last minute in Los Angeles. And now it has come full circle. According to McMillan, Batum will get the start against the Utah Jazz Wednesday night.
Greg Oden Will Be Fine
October 30, 2008 20:18I have seen so many people call Greg Oden injury prone. I've even heard one "expert" say quote, Here’s what the Blazers do know: They can’t depend on their young center. Not yet, at least. Maybe not ever. And if you're like me, you've heard all the "shoulda' drafted Kevin Durant!" talk. And the "Why'd the Blazers draft a center? Everyone knows centers are injury prone" talk. It's nonsense. Pure nonsense. For three reasons. Reason One: Unfair Comparison (The Center is Your Tank) Y...
Wednesday Linkage: Greg Oden Injury Edition
October 29, 2008 20:09Henry Abbott of TrueHoop talked to Stephania Bell, a physical therapist who is both a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. She had the following analysis of Greg's injury: The initial diagnosis of a midfoot sprain tells us that the injury is in the middle of the foot (of course), which is essentially the region between the base of the toes and the ankle. This region is critical because it represents the arch of the foot. Forces...
Greg Oden Post-Game with ESPN
October 29, 2008 15:09The thing to take away from this is that he's got a level-head and he wasn't freaking out, by any standard. I guess a year of sitting out will do that to you.
The Columbian with an Update on Martell
October 26, 2008 17:01Brian Hendrickson of The Columbian has an update on Martell. Nothing new, really, but here's the link and the story. Martell Webster's recovery from a broken bone in his left foot appears to be going well, and the small forward expects to be cleared to remove his orthopedic boot sometime in the next week. The Blazers won't get an accurate timetable for his return until after the boot is removed and the foot more closely examined. But Webster said his doctor told him this week that he has a...
Sunday Morning Truehoopin'
October 26, 2008 08:10I'm still on vacation and everyone's sleeping but me, so I decided to catch up on my Truehoop and found these two Blazer-related (or should I say Oden-related?) articles while doing so. An opposing scout tells Sports Illustrated about Greg Oden: "It's hard to go crazy over Greg Oden coming off his knee surgery before he's played a real NBA game. He's going to be a very good player, no doubt. But a superstar? I'm just not ready to go that far yet. He has great size and hands, he's good around...
Saturday Evening Linkage
October 26, 2008 03:03Joe Freeman tears it up with a great feature on Nate McMillan. With R&B music humming in the background, McMillan pulls his SUV off the freeway and heads downtown for an appointment with his barber. At a red light, he warns that parking is hard to come by so he might have to drive around the block a few times. Suddenly, McMillan spots a car pulling out of a space on the street to the right. "Ah, see, you gotta be patient," he says, grinning, before waiting out traffic, veering across two la...
Blazers Pick Up Some Options
October 26, 2008 02:51This just in via Yahoo Sports: PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)—The Portland Trail Blazers exercised fourth-year options Saturday on the contracts of forward LaMarcus Aldridge and guards Sergio Rodriguez and Brandon Roy. The Blazers also said [sic] exercised their third-year option on center Greg Oden, who missed last season following microfracture surgery on his right knee after being selected No. 1 overall in the NBA draft. The moves, announced by general manager Kevin Pritchard, keep all four playe...
Wednesday Linkage
October 22, 2008 17:53It's a fine Wednesday morning and as you're waiting for tonight's game against the Clips, here's some links to check out... Gavin Dawson of 95.5 the Game, Casey Holdahl of trailblazers.com, and Dave Deckard of Blazers Edge rippin' it up on the Morning Sports Page this morning. Listen here. And speaking of Casey, he talks about Joel's injury and how cool of a dude Joel is: You've surely heard by now that during last week's scrimmage at Cleveland High School, Greg Oden's elbow collided with ...
Kevin Pritchard Is Committed
October 21, 2008 21:41Just listened to an exerpt from the Morning Sports Page with our friend Gavin Dawson. Kevin Pritchard was on the show and I went ahead and transcribed some of the stuff I liked. There's still a lot more to the interview, so head over to Casey's blog and check out the whole clip to hear more good stuff. But without further ado, here's what KP had to say: On Nate: "I feel great about having him as our coach." On the organization: We have an a owner, a president, a head coach, and a ge...
Blazers Dethrone Kings
October 21, 2008 06:13SACRAMENTO -- Led by the 24 points of Lamarcus Aldridge and 21 by Brandon Roy, the Portland Trailblazers knocked off the Sacramento Kings 112-98, never trailing for the length of the Monday night preseason game. The visiting Blazers jumped out to an early 6-0 lead and stayed in front the whole way. Despite allowing the Kings to pull within one on with 3:15 left to go in the third quarter on a Williams bucket, the Blazers remained calm and regained their comfortable lead on layups from Roy, J...
