    So can anyone explain why I'm blacked out from Blazer games when I live 82 miles from the Oregon border, can't receive local Portland Broadcasts and don't have access to the cable broadcasts of the games. Been a fan since the beginning back in the Stan MacKenzie days but am growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of ability to get the games on TV when I'm obviously outside the 75 mile blackout radius??

    im not a blazer rep or super techy but it's probably because your ISP is within the blackout range so your IP is in the blackout range. they claim they can get around this, i'd contact technical support im not sure any are on the boards. (im also willing to bet a good proxy would get around it but they claim it wont)

    I know here in bend oregon i am blacked out on the net cause i have quest and my IP shows im in portland, i have comcast though so i dont get too bothered except that i dont get the blazer channel in HD so the 8 or so games they show on that channel over CSN makes me feel like i live in the 90s so it sucks cause i was going to buy the 8 games at $3 a piece even though i get it on TV but im blacked out, which is funny to me because they would have got money from my cable bill and from me streaming the games but in their greed of wanting people to buy cable before streaming games the missed out on about $20 lol

    Hoopsworld is a great site to find player salaries.

    Noel will be fine he will need to thicken up which he should do. I fully expect to be built like Ibaka down the road, he won''t be thick enough to handle the low post against centers but he will still be a force on defense.

  4. draft

    Started by Aaron Childers on 05/16/13 at 8:17 PM

    Choice 1 = draft at #10 and draft Muhammad

    Choice 2 = trade #10 and our first second round pick for the #7 pick and draft Oladipo.

    choose one of the two.  My choice would be choice 2.

    The list of possibles assumes Oladipo does not fall below the top nine.  I agree that if he did the list would change and most responses would indicate him as the choice.

    We really do not need so many rehashes.

    Paul Allen might sell the Blazers but the Blazers will never leave Rip City.
