		<title>Blazers 110, Kings 94 Re-Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This one doesn&#8217;t need much. It doesn&#8217;t need an extensive recap, it doesn&#8217;t need to be picked apart and it certainly doesn&#8217;t need any video analysis. The Blazers weren&#8217;t perfect, but the Kings didn&#8217;t have it in them to take advantage of Portland&#8217;s mistakes like they did on Tuesday. And it was good enough.
The Blazers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blazers/Kings Pre-Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me start this up by saying that for a couple of reasons, we will not be on these pre-thoughts for too long. Seeing as how the Blazers and Kings just squared off a few days ago, there are not a ton of new thoughts creeping in my head. The other reason, is I do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Frank Hughes: The Oden Dilemma</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The feature story today in the NBA section at Sports Illustrated is by Frank Hughes, who delves into next season&#8217;s situation with Greg Oden&#8217;s contract extension. Hughes apparently caught up with Kevin Pritchard at Madison Square Garden, so there are quotes you probably won&#8217;t get anywhere else, though most of it you&#8217;ve heard or read [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blazers 110, Warriors 105 Re-Thoughts: The Comeback</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How fitting. Two days after blowing a double-digit lead to the Sacramento Kings, the Blazers come back from a double-digit deficit to beat the Golden St. Warriors in Oakland for the first time since the Lord of the Rings movies were still in theaters. Sounds like a perfect time for a companion piece to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blazers/Warriors Pre-Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I will use any excuse to use that video clip on this blog. Tonight, Portland returns to the road facing off against the Golden State Warriors. This is the beginning of a quick back-to-back trip in California, concluding tomorrow in Sacramento. Tonight marks the Blazers, 4th appearance in a Thursday night TNT game, their first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blazers 88, Kings 81 Re-Thoughts: Blowing a Lead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re going to do things a little differently tonight. Since the Blazers won a relatively simplistic game &#8212; neither team could defend the paint all that well &#8212; in which they followed a familiar pattern in failing to hold a double-digit lead in the fourth, we&#8217;re going to delve into how that happened rather than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adande on the Blazers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over at ESPN, J.A. Adande did a little write up about the Blazers. It&#8217;s clearly intended for a national audience, and thus mostly just a rehash of information you probably already know, but the quotes are solid. It&#8217;s not really a column, either, since there isn&#8217;t a ton of opinion from Adande, but I always [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blazers/Kings Pre-Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Sacramento Kings are in town to face the Blazers in what will be only Portland&#8217;s second home game in the last two weeks. An even nuttier stat: the Blazers only have 8 home games left. As a team trying to make a push towards the playoffs, home games against sub .500 teams in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Przybilla Surgery Successful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the Blazers:
Joel Przybilla underwent successful surgery tonight to repair a re-ruptured right patella tendon. No timetable has been set for his return.
At least we can say everyone has been having successful surgeries this season. Here&#8217;s to Joel and his family pulling through this.

		<title>Blazers 106, Nuggets 118 Re-Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As expected, no?
Really, the biggest break the Blazers got was catching the Nuggets without their best defender in Kenyon Martin. Without him, the thinking could have been that LaMarcus Aldridge could have a huge night in the post and the Blazers could put enough shooting around that performance to steal a win. It was a [...]]]></description>
