Game Preview- Trail Blazers Vs. Spurs

October 30, 2007 | by Keith | Categories Internet, Newspapers, Sports Radio |

Another new feature here at SMJ.  From time to time we will preview a game through the resources of the local media in the cities which the teams reside. 

The NBA season starts tonight with the Champion San Antonio Spurs taking on the Portland Trail Blazers.  Before the summer this looked like a great match-up featuring Tim Duncan (the center of today) and Greg Oden (the center of tomorrow?).  Oden’s injury put a damper on that…but hey, it’s still opening night! 

Let’s go to the coverage of both teams:

Trail Blazers

The dominant news source for the Trail Blazers has to be The Oregonian, the state’s largest newspaper.  The paper’s website creates unique content dedicated to the Trail Blazers, from a special sections, to two separate blogs.   They also have a forum where registered users can post questions and discuss all things Blazers.  Looks like the paper, in partnership with Oregon Live, has the team well covered.

We looked for independent blogs that focuses on the Trail Blazers.  Blazers’ Edge looks like a winner.  (Let’s get this out now…Don’t attack me for not including a blog.  Feel free to add links through the comments-SMJ)

I would hope that local sports radio would be talking heavily about this opener today.  If so, then KFXX is the place to go.

Spurs

The Spurs are covered extensively by their local paper the San Antonio Express News.  Also in conjunction with a web partner, My San Antonio, there are special sections devoted to the Spurs, and a site-specific blog.

Independent blogs seem more plentiful with the World Champs, as evidenced by Spurs Report,  Spurs Dynasty, and the Spurs Talk forum.

Sports radio chatter on the Spurs can be found at The Ticket KTTR.

There you go…get educated on the match-ups and enjoy the game!
