I wouldn’t mind being an ambassador to the hornets. One of the only teams in this league besides the beloved I can stomach. Plus, I think the Hornets could be one of our greatest foes in the west for as long as they have Chris Paul. They’re a good team that knows how to hustle and play the right way. I would imagine their blog might have some interesting perspective on us considering we might be getting in each others way this year and next.

It was just a shout-out to a guy that seems to do a nice job covering his team, but like a few other recent newcomers to this blog network (Miami, Cavs,…) he is still so unknown that he seems to do it mostly for himself and a fairly small audience at least judging from the number of comments. So yeah, linking to them from arguably the most popular NBA one here (at least in the top 3) is a nice gesture to give your readers more insight if they want to and your fellows a little boost in traffic/awareness. I think I saw at least one SBN blog that also had guest bloggers weigh in on these team previews, similar to what you did for AOL FanHouse, but that’s not easy to coordinate.

As for the ambassador thing, Mortimer is kinda like the unofficial one to a number of SBN blogs and well known around Blog A Bull and Golden State of Mind. Tom has made some friends over at SLC I hear ;-)

If nobody else claims it, I would volunteer to cover the Mavericks since they are my second team and I fairly regularly scout their website, ESPN board, Toddy’s “Mavs Moneyball” SBN site, etc. And I’m probably one of the few people around here who can decently understand their star when giving interviews in his mother tongue. Yes, he is the only one, so I’m not as valuable as our Spanish friends :’-(

Aren’t you just the sweetest little thinggggggggg. :)

I do like the idea of ambassadors. If anything, I’d like to volunteer to cover the Warriors since, A. There a very likeable team in my opinion and B. I live in the Bay Area so I get tons of coverage whether it be the T.V, newspapers, or just eye witness accounts since I get all the Warriors games down here.

of the world?

I don’t blame you for not doing it before, but it is a good service for your fellow bloggers, and we would hope that they would extend us the same courtesy here at Blazer’s Edge.

I’m keeping up on the Bucks this year, so if Frank Madden or Alex Boeder put something Blazer fans would be interested in up on Brew Hoop, I’ll bring it to our attention.

and keep up the great effort!

“quite apoligizing”, an elder getalman once told me, “it makes you sound weak.”

but I respect your humility.

n really, alot of your previews ARE better than what they put out.

where you think I’ve been lurking during my……..exodus.

It’s all chocolate. We know your quips about the team aren’t the end all be all. It’s great that you fill us in with what you can though.

This is a message to you (hoo hoo)

This is like watching Will Perdue hugging the championship trophy, tears in his eyes, cameras flashing, while Jordan lurks in the background.

I kid…and good show for extending a hand to the outside blog-world. I hope they all can build for their teams what you have built here.

But sometimes you just gotta’ toot your own horn before somebody else uses it as a funnel.

You go to your room and think about what you’ve done. I’ll let you know when you can come back out for dinner.

Very good news. I always enjoy reading other teams blogs around the time we play them. I just hope SB Nation gets their links up.

The last Fan Post at GreenBandwagon.com was 20 DAYS AGO!!! What apathetic fans!!!

have an SBN blog yet.

It would be fiendishly clever of someone here, posing as a thunder fan, to start one and operate that sucker, giving the thunder all the recognition they deserve.

I think tominhawaii would be a great Thunder Dave…

While I appreciate the new links, I am kind of troubled by the use of only SB blogs. I come to Blazer’s Edge to get a complete picture of hoops not to be fed just SB related info. I’m not asking for a complete run-down of all team related links from around the web (in all your free time Dave!) but there has to be some decent blogs/sites out there for teams that are not part of SB that deserve linking in these previews.

That said, thanks for all the previews and everything you do Dave, its a pleasure to read your stuff!

you go after the low hanging fruit first. If that works out pretty good, then add more layers. The SB blogs are a good way to start.

Ziller is great, and I am already a member. I also was feeding them info during the draft when they got Bay-less’d.

Minor apology: Not pointing BEdgers to other SBN sites.

Major apology: Not pointing me to free donuts.

Dave I love ya man, but I don’t even talk about other teams, let alone read about them. I hate ex-Blazers the moment they leave our team, and like the wise Charles Barkley once said about his opponents: “All I know about Angola is Angola’s in trouble”

Same thing for our opponents. Call me ignorant, call me dumb and lazy, just don’t call me late for dinner, or donuts.

On that note I plan on being the Ambassador for this Great Blog called Blazers Edge.

I don’t have a lot of love for the jazz, but I am local if you want to sign me up for Utah. It may actually tie in nicely with the writing class I’m currently taking.

I’ll be an ambassador for any team. Suns, Spurs, Raptors, Warriors are teams I’d do that for. Or if you’d rather I could do the ambassador thing for another team. Let me know which team or teams I could help with and what my ambassador duties are and we’ll go from there.

I’ll even do more than one. I love my writing, love my hoops and want to help.
