      <title>Through Difficult Season, Elliot Williams Finds The Value Of Patience</title>
      <link>http://www.iamatrailblazersfan.com/ArticleDisplay/tabid/192/ItemID/3751/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Trail Blazers Head Coach Terry Stotts is what they call in shorthand, a basketball-lifer. He's been around the league for several decades and played at the highest levels of college and overseas basketball. So, when he doesn't have an experience in dealing with something, you really value how truly unique that something is.

Such is the case of Trail Blazers guard Elliot Williams.

When asked if he had coached a player who was out for the entire season due to injury, Stotts didn't have a clear moment or player to point to. ]]></description>

      <title>Trail Blazers Look To Turn Trip Around In Chicago </title>
      <link>http://www.iamatrailblazersfan.com/ArticleDisplay/tabid/201/ItemID/3749/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[BY ERIK GUNDERSEN 

On Thursday night the Portland Trail Blazers (31-36) will look to get their first win of their current five-game road trip when they visit the Chicago Bulls (36-30). Tip-off is set for 5PM on CSNNW and the game can be heard over the air on 1190 AM and 102.3 FM. The Trail Blazers won the first meeting between these two teams in Portland 102-94. 

    
•    The Trail Blazers were able to survive a high-scoring first quarter by the Bulls and a late Nate Robinson scoring barrage on November 18th to get a win in Portland. The attack was led, mostly by Nicolas Batum and Wesley Matthews. Batum and Matthews each scored 21 points and combined to his seven three pointers.  For the Bulls, it was Joakim Noah who was, and has been the focal point for their offense. Noah finished with a near triple-double of 16 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists. But, fellow French National Team teammate Batum and the Trail Blazers got the best of them. LaMarcus Aldridge also had a very good night against a solid defensive front line, scoring 18 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. 
   
 •    Both the Bulls and the Trail Blazers have had dramatic one-point losses on Monday. It appeared as though the Sixers loss lingered for the Trail Blazers but the Bulls have not played since they lost on a basket interference call going against them in overtime. Nate Robinson is coming off one of those nights he seems to have every year, when he went off for 34 points on 22 shots, including six for eight from three-point range. Luol Deng also scored 21 and Joakim Noah had a line typical of him with 14 points, 12 rebounds and six assists
  
  •    The Trail Blazers, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, have got to be better at slowing down their opponents from the outset of games. The problem was not very bad in Milwaukee, but it was exacerbated by their season-worst second quarter. With Kirk Hinrich's availability in question, look for Damian Lillard to take advantage. Lillard had a quiet, yet efficient outing against the Bulls in November with 16 points on seven of 13 shooting when he was guarded by Hinrich most of the night. Nate Robinson is nowhere near the defender that Hinrich is and Lillard should be able to either expose the match up and his ability to shoot over Robinson, set up his teammates, or the most likely option: both. After an off game against the Bucks in Milwaukee when he logged 45 minutes, this game, especially given a favorable match-up, are set up perfectly for a bounce-back game. 
   
 •    The Trail Blazers best opportunity to beat the Bulls in Chicago will be to push the pace. They need stops on defense, but Chicago has a top-five defense of their own and Portland will need to take advantage of situations when Chicago's defense is not set. As we saw in two recent games against the a great defensive team in Memphis, the Trail Blazers perform much better against good defensive teams when they don't allow them to get set and the Trail Blazers can get into their flow easier. The Bulls and Grizzlies are different in the personnels and schemes but the point is, they are good at executing what they try to do. The Trail Blazers succeeded in that against Chicago the last time hitting nine threes and scoring 102 points in the win. They also forced the Bulls into 19 turnovers, which allowed them to get out and run. It will be interesting to see how they will attack the Bulls tomorrow. Trying to contain Noah will be key, but the Trail Blazers also cannot let shooters like Marco Belinelli or Nate Robinson to get hot....]]></description>

      <title>Maynor Helps Lillard Bust Through The Rookie Wall</title>
      <link>http://www.iamatrailblazersfan.com/ArticleDisplay/tabid/192/ItemID/3735/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[While many were searching for a rookie wall for Damian Lillard to run into somewhere a long the way, it appears that in the search of that wall, we already missed it.

In the midst of Portland and Lillard's toughest stretch, the Trail Blazers acquired Eric Maynor from Oklahoma City with hopes that he could be someone who could help them manufacture points and be a back-up for Damian Lillard in the future. Portland had lost seven of their last nine games. Damian, 6th in the NBA in minutes played, had nearly all of the ball-handling and playmaking responsibility while also being the team's second leading scorer and best isolation threat off the dribble (7th in the NBA in points per possession among players with 100 isolations or more according to Synergy Sports Technology). ]]></description>

      <title>With Increased Role, Victor Claver Is Coming Around</title>
      <link>http://www.iamatrailblazersfan.com/ArticleDisplay/tabid/192/ItemID/3722/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA["The little things" are a cliche term for details. The minutiae of life such as meals times and work schedules and, in the case of Victor Claver, the minutiae of the game of basketball. The type of things you can't see in a box score -- setting good screens, being able to hedge a pick and roll, making the extra pass, floating to the right spots on the floor, rotating to the right spot to help your fellow defender, having a "feel for the game" -- all of those things are attributes that Victor Claver has brought to the Trail Blazers bench all year. But now he is also finding more rhythm offensively and is not just becoming a player you can count on to not make mistakes, but also one who is making a positive insight on a nightly basis as of late.]]></description>

      <link>http://www.iamatrailblazersfan.com/ArticleDisplay/tabid/297/ItemID/3716/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Rookie guard Damian Lillard, along with the Portland Trail Blazers and their partners Les Schwab Tire Centers and adidas have tipped off a regional anti-bullying campaign that encourages everyone to stand up for the rights of others and formally pledge to show respect for all people.
 
“We all come from different backgrounds. I think it’s important for everyone, especially kids, to show respect to each other,” said Lillard. “I’ve lived in three completely different communities and have seen bullying firsthand. If I can make a difference and help kids be more aware of their actions, that’s a big deal for me. I want to be a part of that.”]]></description>
