Following are selected quotes from the Blazers' media availability; also see the Suns report. o. Portland had yet another injury situation arise, this time the ankle of Marcus Camby, which the big man rolled during practice on Friday.

Blazers Shut Down Stoudemire, Take Game 1 From Suns Alvin Gentry, Amare Stoudemire, Andre Miller, LaMarcus Aldridge, marcus camby, Nate McMillan, Steve Nash, Suns News | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA Playoffs PHOENIX -- The historical statistics were slanted completely in the Suns' favor heading into their Game 1 matchup with the Blazers. Portland was 3-24 all-time in playoff series when losing Game 1, including a record of just 1-17 in the first round. And Phoenix was 15-3 all-time in series where the team has protected its home court with a Game 1 victory. If you're the Blazers, you fix all that by simply figuring out a way to secure a road victory to open the series. Behind a stellar offensive performance from Andre ...

Redemption for Jason Richardson as Suns Rout Blazers in Game 2 Alvin Gentry, Andre Miller, Jason Richardson, Nate McMillan, Nicolas Batum, Steve Nash, Suns News | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA Injuries, NBA Playoffs PHOENIX -- Before the Suns faced the Blazers in Game 2 of their first round series on Tuesday, their head coach Alvin Gentry was lamenting the analysis (or lack thereof) that he heard from one of the national television networks. What bothered him was the suggestion that Phoenix needed to switch Steve Nash off of guarding Andre Miller after Miller's huge 31-point performance in Portland's Game 1 victory. There was just one problem with that analysis: Nash wasn't the one who was guarding Miller. "Contrary to what anybody thinks, in the room ...

Blazers May Be Gone, but GM Kevin Pritchard Should Stay Andre Miller, brandon roy, Juwan Howard, kevin pritchard, marcus camby, Martell Webster, Paul Allen, Suns News, Tom Penn | (0)
by Sam AmickFiled under: Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA PlayoffsPORTLAND, Ore. -- The dead man walking couldn't have looked more alive on Thursday night. Kevin Pritchard was being Kevin Pritchard again, the Portland general manager mingling on the Rose Garden floor while wondering like the rest of the Rip City residents whether his team had one last punch in store. True to their fighting form, they did. So spirited was their 99-90 loss to Phoenix that the home crowd stood until the end as if the outcome was reversed, an insurmountable deficit and the end to a torturously-terrific season greeted in the final seconds ...

On Sunday night, I had the pleasure of sitting in a suite for Game 1 of the Suns vs. Blazers series. This was my first playoff game, so I anticipated a ruckus crowd and a lot of intensity from the Phoenix Suns. However, on the contrary I saw neither of these things in Game 1. There was actual a point in the 4th quarter when the Suns were down 99-92 with 1:45 left in the game and literally thousands of fans began filing out of the arena. I understand it was a late Sunday night game and people had the ...
