Hi everyone. We are in the last week of the regular season, time goes by fast! We have one last game and we are already in playoff mode because they start next weekend. We want to prove that we can go a step further than the last two seasons and advance to the second round. Go Rip City!

Ahora tenemos cuatro partidos durísimos para acabar el mes, dos contra los Spurs, uno contra Oklahoma City y otro contra New Orleans… esperamos seguir con la buena racha!

Hi everyone from Portland! Here in the US the March Madness of the NCAA is going on right now. All my teammates are following the tournament and their schools. I think it’s an intense, exciting tournament, very fun to watch. We have our own march madness, the final aprt of the regular season. We have won 4 of the last 5 games but we can’t relax.

Now we have four tough games to finish the month, two against the Spurs, one against OKC and one against New Orleans… we hope to continue with the good streak!

Después de cinco partidos seguidos en casa nos toca viajar otra vez. Empezamos en Denver donde hacía un frío increíble. Parece que muchas partes de Estados Unidos están afectadas por temporales de nieve y ahora nos toca Indiana y Cleveland, sitios que no son precisamente cálidos... Cuando hace mal tiempo los viajes se disfrutan menos, casi ni podemos salir del hotel! Realmente esta temporada el tiempo no se está portando mal en Portland, así que ya tengo ganas de volver de este viaje...

Un saludo a todos

After five straight games at home we are on the road again. We started the trip in Denver, were it was terribly cold. It seems many differents places in the US are affected by snowstorms and bad weather , and now we have Indiana and Cleveland, not warm places precisely... When the weather is this bad you don’t enjoy the trips that much, we can’t even get out of the hotel! This season the weather hasn’t really been bad in Portland, so I’m ready to get back home from this trip...

Regards everyone,
Rudy

Feliz 2011 a todo el mundo! Después de pasar el día de Navidad lejos de Portland fue bonito poder pasar el fin de año en casa. Aunque mi madre estaba conmigo, el resto de mi família y amigos estaban en España... así que celebraron la llegada del nuevo año unas horas antes que yo. Aún así lo celebré con ellos en la distancia! Un par de días después pudimos celebrar todo el equipo con la afición, ganando el octavo partido seguido en el Rose Garden. Una buena manera de empezar el año.

Happy 2011 everyone! After being far from Portland for Christmas it was nice to be able to be home for new year’s eve. Altough my mom was with me, most of my family and friends were in Spain... so they celebrated a few hours before me. But I celebrated anyway with them from the distance! A couple nights later the team was able to celebrate with our fans, winning our eighth consecutive game at the Rose Garden. A great way to start the year.

No es nada habitual estar cinco días sin partido en la NBA... esta semana nos ha ocurrido y ya tenemos todos ganas de jugar, hoy contra los Hornets en casa. Han sido unos días en los que hemos aprovechado para recuperarnos físicamente y para trabajar y mejorar cosas como equipo. El domingo empezamos una gira de cuatro partidos por el la costa este y como siempre será un difícil examen. Estos últimos días, sin partido, he estado bien acompañado porqué ha venido a pasar una temporada conmigo un amigo de Mallorca, antes que venga la família por Navidad.

It’s not usual not to have a game in five days in the NBA... it happened to us this week and now we are ready to play again, today against the Hornets at home. During these days we have tried to stay healthy and we worked on the things that we need to improve also. We start a four game road trip on the east coast on Sunday and it’s always a tough test. The last days, with no games, I have had good company because I have a friend from Mallorca  staying with me for some time, before my family comes over for Christmas.
