The game was a blast and the Garden was rockin' as usual. I'm writing this a few days after the game. Life catches up. Even if nobody reads this, it's therapy.
The Blazers finished the recent home stand 3-3 with an underwhelming victory over an undermanned Bulls squad. The Blazers gotta get back to finishing opponents. I've gotten spoiled. Usually a 3-3 home stand in the past 4 years would be cool. Guess I've grown to expect it. Better a confident fan than a beaten down one just hoping for a few wins. I have called playoffs for this team, and I believe it. Do the Blazers? See what a 13 game winning streak makes people think? But I have seen the mountaintop and the view was great. The Blazers are definitely in a little funk, but .500 home stand funk I can bear for now.
Loved attending the Nuggets game. AI had an off night but made a spectacular extra long 3 and of course...won the game in OT from the top of the key with .09 seconds left. Rose Garden toast. FT's down the stretch, poor. Outlaw choked a 3 free oppurtunity to give Iverson the chance. Make them free throws, they aren't called free for nothing. Melo can play. I recommend seeing the Nugs if you live in an NBA town or are planning to attend one.
The Bulls were let back in the game after Portland had a 13 pt lead in the 4th quarter and they played poorly down the stretch. I must now watch "LOST" and cut this short. The Blazers did hold on and scored a W over Chi town. They are playing Golden State right now. I'll have that on the laptop and check scores on the breaks.
Tomorrow Portland takes on the mighty Pistons in Detroit. It is my understanding Brandon Roy didn't fly with the team and is currently in Seattle for a family emergency. His status to play in tomorrow's game seems unlikely to me. But they say here on radio he may. Hope all is well at the homestead Brandon. Tough task to win at Detroit. Let's see what they are made of shorthanded against one of the beasts of the East.
