Blazers were always a force keep up the good work can’t wait to see Blazer winning ways reignited
WE ALL KNOW THAT THIS YR IS BLAZERS YEAR
i concure to to the sentiments expressed by everyone. there are alot of new teams so it difficult to really sy how strong or competitive they may be. The attendance is great, i really dont know what league you looking at. there have been great basketball actions so far. some of the blow outs starts late in the third quarer, so that meant that teams are playing well but are unable to close out the forth quarter.
You have the 9-10 people sitting on the field house. The 10 or so Starz players hanging around their bar, acting out. Your luck if there is 20 people on the side opposite the players benches. 40-50 people is NOT a good turnout.
I am at every game & there have been very few exciting games this season. I;m hoping to see a huge turn around as we move further into the season.
Go blazers go.
There are to many blowouts taking place, especially in the first division. It’s making watching the games boring. Attendance is already poor. They need to move some teams up to Premier Division or start a First Division B League.
play blazers play
The old men kicking dust on the youths. Keep it up Ole Skool.
