Portland Blazing No More in NBA Basketball?
Yup, apparently, the Portland Trailblazers have seen their status quo drop after every NBA Basketball season that came to pass.
In this same decade, the Portland Trailblazers were MINUTES away from reaching the NBA Finals and probably the NBA Championship. The Portland Trailblazers team led by Rasheed Wallace, Arvydas Sabonis and Scottie Pippen seemed destined to represent the West in basketball’s biggest stage back in 2000, if it wasn’t for a goddamn Game 7 collapse that let the Los Angeles Lakers fuel one of the greatest comebacks in NBA history.
Now, look at the Blazers now. Scottie Pippen and Arvydas Sabonis ain’t there anymore. Rasheed Wallace has already gone to Detroit to hand them 
the 2004 NBA Championship and earn his very first championship ring. Damon Stoudamire is now with the Memphis Grizzlies trying to salvage what’s left of his NBA Basketball career.
What’s left is a Portland Trailblazers team made up with a bunch of yahoos who just can’t seem to gel together. Now led by an out of shape forward named Zach Randolph who just can’t make up his mind if he wants to play shooting guard or center, these new batch of Blazers are just… to sum it all up with one term, TERRIBLE.
Oh yeah, adding yet more problems to an already troubled team, they lose promising young talent Darius Miles for the rest of the season for the second straight year. And the rumors are, Miles will call it quits as far as his NBA Basketball career is concerned.
They used to be an almost impossible ticket, selling out more than 1,000 consecutive games during the height of their popularity, but now they can’t even sell out a single game. And now there are more rumors flying that Portland Trailblazers owner, Paul Allen, (also owner of the Seattle Seahawks) will move these Blazers from Portland to Seattle.
Could that be the move these Blazers need to rejuvenate their franchise? News flash boys, NOBODY CARES.
Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:
Miami Heat 4/1 (boo!)
