TOO MUCH RASHARD

 This was shaping up as a blowout but Portland made a nice run in the 4th and made it look respectable on paper, but it was never in doubt. You have to play all 4 quarters but this was almost over after one.

  In a losing cause replacement guard for Sebastian Telfair Steve Blake played solid, as I kinda predicted. 19 pts & 13 assists. Blake arguably played the best game a Blazer guard has had all year. Ray Allen had 24 pts for Seattle also. At one point in the 1st half the Sonics were up by 33. As Mr. Burns from the Simpsons would say, "Eggx- cell-ent!" It seemed for awhile whatever we threw up went down. Was waiting for Luke R to hold one for Ray and they would kick one through ala Harlem Globetrotters style but Portland slowly began to chip away at the stone. We ran out of steam and let em back in during the 4th, but we smoked the Blazers. Like beating Portland is like climbing Everest or something. More like scaling Bandini Mtn.

  We are on a modest one game win streak and play the Wizards Monday, make that a 2 game winning streak. We owe them big time for a large beat down suffered in they're house earlier in the season. Look out Wiz.
