Undefeated! At Least, in the Second Half the Year!

Two in a row!!

Zach Randolph struggled, scored just two points by halftime- but finished strong with 22 points and grabbed 15 rebounds as the Portland Trail Blazers edged the Mighty Kevin Garnett and his Minnesota Timberwolves, 101-98, in overtime.

It was another game showcasing the rookie trio that the Blazers picked on draft day 2006!

Sergio Rodriguez even scored 18 points, he was hoisting his shot at the direction of Coach Nate, who said that this prevented the T'wolves from sagging off & have them defend the "Spanish Chocolate"- and his incredible passes.

Brandon Roy too has recently been given that green light to handle the offense. He has not let the team down, you can hear the pride in his voice while he talks of having his own number called in recent vital scoring situations. He rewarded the team for that confidence in him, he did this while contributing 13 points. He has been really coming through recently, in closing seconds. It has been said that Brandon Roy knows when he needs take over, so he’s not afraid to do it. The results- the Blazers have won back to back games for the first time this season!

LaMarcus Aldridge too is getting his minutes, in this contest he struggled with his shooting, throwing up a lot of misses. But in the closing minutes he came through like a veteran. He shot 2/2 at the free throw line keeping the Blazers in dominance, (read about them below!) while gathering 2 more blocks at the defensive end, saying to the T'wolves, 'No, not here, not tonight.

Is there any doubt who the leader is on this team. This kid is going to be a star. Love the fact that he wouldn't go out of the game even with back spasms. I get them at least twice a year and I can barely move, of course a little vicadin (sp?) always helps but it's still pretty stiff and hard to do daily activities, can't even imagine trying to play an NBA game with them. We have the player we can build around. Amazing that the player we go to in the clutch has really only played 25 NBA games.......

did LMA call Ricky Davis a bi.tch after draining that second FT? As he backed away, I thought I saw him say bi.tch in RD's direction, since Davis had been trying to psych him.

Let me know what you think leave me a comment:
