I'm a news junkie. Especially Blazers news. These past few days of relative calm have been sort of disheartening. Saturday matinee games don't generate much excitement, especially when it's a loss. I'm not sure the national media even knew Portland played on Saturday. Even the local guys seemed to take a pass. But, todays a new day, the NBA never sleeps, so lets see what's out there.

Not sure if everyone has noticed, but Portland has a couple of pretty good centers!.. Chris Kaman is looking more and more like the perfect answer to the second unit. I know a collective groan went out when his signing was announced, but Neil Olshey deserves a big high-five at this point in the season for bringing the Sasquatch to Portland.
