Photo Credit: Jamie Owens Going into this game it was Indiana’s defense that was universally accepted as substandard. When the smoke cleared it was Michigan that appeared to have very serious questions to answer about its defense. To put this game into perspective, the 1.31 points per possession that Michigan surrendered was the most its [...]

Bears Backer
Here’s the thing, taken individually each of Portland’s last three losses can be explained away. Miami is one of the best teams in the league; LeBron is a beast and can kill not just teams but entire American cities all by himself. New York is a team that can get hot, and when it does can play with the best teams league wide. Phoenix is struggling, but still, nobody wants to be beaten four straight times in a single season. What I’m saying is this: on a game-by-game basis, when looking at the last three nights, the Blazers aren’t struggling. [...]

I bet more than a few people expected this. Portland stands tall against Miami, only to fall to a barrage of scoring from LeBron James in the closing period and overtime Sunday night, then are basically unable to show up in their next outing, and are beaten handily by the Knicks.

This isn’t a momentum-killer, or a season-ender, but it’s a tough one, there’s no doubt about that. Give a ton of credit to the Knicks. In fact, give all [...]
