Alrighty Blazers fans or not, but if you weren't at the Rose Garden last night (unfortunately I wasn't and saw quite a few empty seats there), then you probably missed the NBA basketball game of the year to date this far and right now, I am thinking, "Why the fuck wasn't this game on TV in our area?!"
As mentioned in the previous blog, the game was against the currently # 1 Hornets who had just come off their 1st lost and they looked to rebound from this. It appeared as if they were gonna walk away with this one early as Portland was stinking up like Fat Bastard's shit scenes in "Austin Powers" as after the 1st quarter, our (Trail) Blazers only scored 13 points and trailed by an astounding and most likely insurmountable 25 points ! Hell, if I was at the game and saw that 1st quarter, I might have just stormed off to exits and slap myself in the face for this ugly debacle.
With Brandon Roy ailing off after 7 minutes of play and no points and never to return because of his heel injury, I really didn't see a way for the Blazers to come back, but low-and-behold our MVP "Zbo" Zach Randolph to once again tear it up for another 30+ plus point game and 10+ more rebounds (glad he is on my fantasy team). Zach did have a supporting cast with Jarrett "Jack 'em Up" Jack and "T-Law" Travis Outlaw laying down the law from the bench with 16 points and 6 BLOCKS!!
Seeing the highlights from the game, Blazers turn the biggest deficit of the game of 27 points into a three point lead, until a clutch and tough turn around shot from downtown by Peja Stojakovic that tied the game. That guy is unbelievable. Randolph would get the ball the next play and would quick-drive to the hoop and get foulded with just seconds left. Zbo makes the 1st (whew, usually that's the toughest one) but would miss the 2nd, and the deadly Stojakovic would get the ball and launch a shot from 3/4s of the quart and when I saw this highlight, I was almost certain it was going in as it was straight on but fortunately hit the back-iron for the miss and the BLAZERS COMEBACK and WIN!! I swear if the shot was an inch harder, it would have banked of the glass and gone it or if it was an inch shorter! Blazers are now an unbelievable 2 games over .500 at 4-2 and although the season is still very early, NOBODY could have predicted this incredible start!!
