Dave’s Rosebuds: the inaugural edition

January 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Sometimes I find things I would like to share, but they don’t warrant their own blog post, or I don’t have the time at the moment to flesh one out. Lately I’ve been dealing with this by not posting, but I think I’ve stumbled upon a better solution. I’m a fan of Shawn […]

Some observations from a Blazer win

December 13th, 2007 · 8 Comments

The guys who sang the national anthem appeared to be high on something, my guess is coke. And the lead guy is not a very good singer. (The best national anthem so far this year was performed by Jeffrey Phillip Wiedlandt.)
Stephen Jackson really is crazy. Great player though, just not last night. […]

My Trailblazers prediction

November 20th, 2007 · 1 Comment

I’m going to go out on a limb here and bet the Trailblazers (0-7 on the road, 4-0 at home) finish the season with a record of 41-41.

‘Zers get big win, stay undefeated at home

November 11th, 2007 · No Comments

Heading into the Rose Garden last night I didn’t expect much from the Blazers. They’re my team, but the Mavs are an elite team with some of the best in the league: Nowitzki, Terry, Stackhouse, Howard (Josh; sorry Juwan!). The young Blazers have been looking good at home, but was there any way […]

Warming up to the new Trailblazers

October 3rd, 2007 · 1 Comment

I don’t anticipate a playoff run, but I think we’re in for some surprising wins this season, and I expect we’ll discover another star or two in the bunch, besides Brandon Roy. LaMarcus Aldridge is the odds on favorite to be that standout, but Channing Frye, Webster or Outlaw might surprise us. We’ve […]

Charles Barkley McLovin moves in with Greg Oden

September 25th, 2007 · No Comments

Over at his blog Greg Oden tells us about his new dog, a Boston/Beagle that he has charmingly named Charles Barkley McLovin. I’m sure the TNT crew will get a kick out of that.
He is not too big because i cant have a big dog while im renting my house. He is very […]

My thoughts on Oden’s knee

September 12th, 2007 · 3 Comments

UPDATE: Well, we’ve learned the news is worse than hoped, but there’s a chance he’ll recover as well as Stoudemire and Randolph have from microfracture surgery. In any case the Blazers have good young team going into the new season even without Oden. I’ll enjoy watching Aldridge become a star this year, and […]

Draft day from Greg Oden’s perspective

August 20th, 2007 · No Comments

Watch and listen to the #1 draft pick as he fights a head cold and prepares for the draft:

(Via Greg’s sparse - he’s a busy guy - but excellent blog.)
