Tonight turned out to be an easy win. We finally snapped our losing streak. We really turned up the D in the second half. I'm so happy that we finally won, it's been over a week. Clippers win 96-83.

Source: Blazers offered Crawford, pick to Clippers for Bledsoe last season

The 13-year vet was on a two-year, $10 million deal that included an opt-out after one. Knowing Crawford would opt out of his contract and realizing it wasn't a good fit, the Trail Blazers tried desperately to land the up-and-coming standout point guard in Bledsoe, according to a league source.

Prior to the March 15 trade deadline, the Trail Blazers offered up Crawford and a draft pick for Bledsoe, the source said. They called and called until the very end.

“Yeah, I knew they (Trail Blazers) were calling for me,” Bledsoe told CSNWW.com. “They have a great fan base, but I wasn't too worried about it at the time.”

In NBA circles, Bledsoe is viewed as a potential borderline All-Star in the making. He only stands 6-1, however he's a freak of nature and at first glance, you might have thought he was a running back and not a point guard.

Crawford acknowledged that he knew the Trail Blazers were in talks with the Clippers last season, but says he didn't know his second unit backcourt mate was the player involved.

Neil Olshey was the Clippers General Manager at the time and he is the one responsible for turning down every call and every offer the Trail Blazers threw his way.

everytime there is a free NBA pass trial coming to an end on directv, my season pass goes out and gets blacked out. i am so **** sick and tired of directv and their incompetent service.

directv is right up there with verizon as the most inept companies of america in my book

Time warner cable as well. Makes sense the bobcats suck since they play at TWC arena. The service is crap. The quality is crap. The Internet slows down whenever it wants to.
We have directv guys who work in best buy where I work. Was thinking of switching to them but apparently I shouldn't?
