Trail Blazers: Goodbye Football, the NBA is Back This Week

Football is a nice distraction; a harmless affair. It gets us through the doldrums of the NBA news cycle: Late August – mid September. But football will slowly fade into the background as NBA preseason games and rosters take shape in October. Towards the end of October, the Trail Blazers will light up the Rose Garden Moda Center and football will again become just another late summer fling.

Speaking of the opener – The Trail Blazers get a look at their opponent next Monday night when preseason begins. Portland will open the preseason and regular season against their division rival – the Utah Jazz.
