ABOUT THE SOCIETY
Because the world really needed another blog dedicated to the Portland Trail Blazers. We're a group of journalists and fans who've grown up with--or have grown to love--Oregon's only professional franchise (and this won't change when MLS comes to town). Plus we're convinced that--if given the chance--we could totally hit the Toyota halfcourt shot. Until then, we're stuck here in the Portland Roundball Society.

Exit Interviews

Yes, Martell’s t-shirt depicts Barack Obama serving up a facial on John McCain

After a meeting with coach McMillan, his staff and Kevin Pritchard the Blazers came out and shared a few words with the media before they all take off on their respective summer vacations. As you can expect, the team shared the usual platitudes about being sad the season ended the way it did and looking forward to next year.

Highlights included: Rudy Fernandez’s being somewhat honest about not wanting to spend next season in the same situation; Brandon Roy, open and engaging as usual, and Martell Webster’s general sharing more emotionally than most (unfortunately I missed taping a segment where Webster shared news about his wedding—to take place this summer on a ranch in Bend—and talking about how lucky NBA players are. “We don’t deserve it,” he said, of the luxury, private jets and so on.); Nic Batum’s decree that the team can win the title next season; and Juwan Howard’s feeling about coming back next year.

So what do you guys do in Portland during the offseason? Ride bikes, talk about how dirty Amar'e is, go up to Seattle to watch a baseball game, listen in to Mike and Mike and their ridiculous comments?

Just curious

Have a fun offseason ladies

Where's Jerryd? :(

Jerryd didn't come out to address the media, at least not in a a reasonable time while we were there. Also, Andre Miller was in quickly, but was snagged by another reporter for a one on one, then he snuck out. I wanted to check in with him about how he felt about getting so few minutes last night... hopefully someone (who got the one on one) will break the story.

Our summers are fucking awesome. We don't get that Iraq-like heat you have, forcing everyone inside with the rest of the old folks to crank up the AC and smoke meth. We do just fine.

Yep, PHX OUT....in the second round in 6.

Martell is so cool. That dude can hang with me any time.

Oh, Juwan. Please don't say <Iverson> "I have a lot left in the tank." </Iverson> !!

I'm not an Obama supporter, nor Mccain, but that shirt Martell has on is pretty damn funny!

PHX provides another shining example of why middle schoolers need to be monitored when given "free time" on their schools' computers.
