Rip City Reviews: The energy of Mo Williams
http://ripcityreviews.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-energy-of-mo-williams.html
Saturday, July 12, 2014. The energy of Mo Williams. Now likely to be moving on, he brought an exciting life to the Blazers. The score is 106-103, Rockets. There’s 2:42 left on the clock. Howard has gotten fouled again and is now at the line. He guides the ball towards the hoop in his strange gingerly way, and finally misses. Now everything is set up, everything is in place to get everyone involved, to choose the most precise way to strike. There’s still 2:35 left. When the entire character of the game se...

Rip City Reviews: Blazer news: Aldridge is becoming the Blazers' Tim Duncan
http://ripcityreviews.blogspot.com/2014/07/blazer-news-aldridges-is-becoming.html
Friday, July 18, 2014. Blazer news: Aldridge is becoming the Blazers' Tim Duncan. Reliability isn’t the most appreciated virtue in sports—just ask Kevin Durant, who gets called the very opposite when he doesn’t put up more than 25 points a night. It is a common theme in Aldridge’s life that he strives to be someone people can believe in. All the way back to his childhood. But in the last few seasons he has taken on a different role. He has become a player upon which people can base their hopes. Saw that ...

Rip City Reviews: September 2014
http://ripcityreviews.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2014. Blazers Bars Reviewed: Spirit of '77, a successful experiment with Portland sports culture. Our first installment in a series of reviews of local Blazers bars looks at the hip establishment right next to the Rose Quarter. Young men in their late twenties and early thirties, shirts checked; young women in bright colored blouses; jeans aplenty; a pair of cowboy boots, tennis sneakers, a few loafers. A pair of oxfords, for some reason, but (mercifully) not a pleat in sight.

Rip City Reviews: Quick commentary: Whitlock shlock
http://ripcityreviews.blogspot.com/2014/10/sports-news-whitlock-shlock.html
Friday, October 10, 2014. Quick commentary: Whitlock shlock. Another intentionally-ignorant, ugly column. Up for ESPN. As usual, it blames black people. This time, for protesting for civil rights in Ferguson outside a Cardinals game, an act which led to a confrontation with racist Cardinals fans. It features gems like this:. And this is not just stupid rhetoric, it is dangerous. This is exactly what bigots said last night when protesters in Ferguson expressed their indignation by burning an American ...

Thursday, September 18, 2014. Don't Worry, Be Happy: The Blazers' have a tough but manageable 2014-15 schedule. Blazers fans have good reason to be optimistic about. Dave Deckard over at Blazers’ Edge. Was blaring klaxon alarums from atop Mount Hood, warning us that the schedule was “going to get real nasty, real quick.”. Erik Gundersen of The Columbian. A closer inspection, after some transpired time and jet-cooling,. A full eight days off. With possibly more, depending on schedule), instead of the four...

Rip City Reviews: What to watch when the Playoffs aren't on
http://ripcityreviews.blogspot.com/2014/06/what-we-watch-when-playoffs-arent-on.html
Tuesday, June 3, 2014. What to watch when the Playoffs aren't on. Something unspeakable has been going on in between these rounds of the NBA playoffs. Namely: they aren’t happening. There is no playoff basketball on TV. As soon as I caught myself Googling basketball clips on YouTube, I pulled myself together and realized I had a problem. These playoffs have just been too good. I’m hooked, and now I’m suffering. So I got proactive. How, you ask? How much fun is it to watch the games. How much I find m...

Rip City Reviews: June 2014
http://ripcityreviews.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. Blazer news: Aldridge, Mo, Summer League, and space (and Vince Carter! News in the off season will turn around four things, it seems. The current offer is five years, $108 million. Some find this controversial, but if anyone showed this year that he was owed a max contract- besides LeBron James- it is Aldridge. These debates. Need to be had about a player like Kyrie Irving, not the man who opened the playoffs as he did, putting up 89 points in two games. Second on the news front: t...
