Question for Maurice Cheeks
Who do you like coaching the most on your team? Why?

Question for Dale Davis
I'm in Japan right now I'm in the Marine Corps and my question is what do you think you guys can improve on as a team? I got a chance to see a Blazers game while I was home and I was impressed on how you guys played.
Ryan-

Dale Davis: Hey man, thanks for supporting the country! I think with the current roster, the best area for improving is learning to play together. The group we have now is incredible and once we started meshing it was looking great for us.
Question for Darius Miles
Which teams have you felt the strongest connection with, the Clippers, Cavs, or Trailblazers? You are the man!!

Question for Damon Stoudamire
When you said that we could count on the blazers going to playoffs next year did you mean it and are you going to be the reason?
lil'chris-

Question for John Nash
At what position do the team need to improve to be a real contender in the Western Conference?
Dontae-
Houston, TX
John Nash: I think we have a lot of room to grow here. We have significant options in the free agent market, and we have identified that we probably have an extra front-court player to trade, and that we will be aggressive in trying to make the best of those opportunities.
