Trial Blazer Courtside
Monday, December 8, 2008, 6-8pm PST
Hosts: Jay Allen & Michael Holton

Summary

• Nate McMillan – he is having Greg focus on defense first and worry about offense later.
• Brian Wheeler – since Brandon Roy has been a Blazer they are 25 wins, 9 losses in games decided by 3pts or less
• Terry Porter – he had his H.S. jersey, college jersey and now the pinnacle of his playing career the retirement of his pro jersey.
• Bill Schonley:
  
  • Without Bobby Gross (similar to Rudy) there would not be any championship.
  • Terry Porter the third most popular blazer only behind Bill Walton and Clyde Drexler in his opinion.
  • The current Blazers remind him of the great championship team of the 70’s and the finals teams of the 90’s.
• Michael Holton
  
  • The great Coach John Wooden once said that it’s amazing what a team can accomplish when no one is concerned on who gets the credit.
  • The Blazers have good team quickness in getting out of area rebounds, making plays down the stretch and having key defensive stops.
  • Roy, Fernandez, Aldridge, Blake and Outlaw are goto shooters. Most teams only have one or two, but the Blazers have at least 4 to 5 key players to take the shot.
