Well it Wasnt a Breakout Game, but it was a Fine Win!

Well the New Exciting Portland Trailblazers opened up the second half of the season last night. As expected they made a statement. ESPN noticed, FOXsports did too. Brandon Roy continued uploading his application process for the NBA Rookie of the Year, with a marked vengeance.

Our own, Brandon Roy was the leading scorer against the struggling Milwaukee ballclub. He contributed a healthy 39 minutes, shooting 10-15 from the field, added 9 rebounds, 2assists and made 2 steals. Roy incidentally made a devestating, heart ripping three in the final minutes to stop any run that the Bucks could have made.

Coach Nate was impressed... again. He witnessed the Buck heart becoming disemboweled in the final minutes. "When they came back on us, he (Roy) made play after play and was able to stop their streak by scoring himself on the other end," McMillan said. "He makes something happen."

The Trailblazers NBA All-star also offered an insight that few talked about. "We would have lost this last year," said Portland's Zach Randolph, who added 19 points and 12 rebounds for his 24th double-double of the young season. "This year we fought back and won."


Yes this team is willing and able to make a statement for the foes who would walk into the Rose Garden looking for that "easy win". Up next. Kevin Garnett and the Minnesota Timberwolves visit Portland and Ime Udoka will be take on the Midwest's number one scorer. Lets see if Garnett winds up getting his hands cuffed for the next 4 quarters.

Sergio had 6 assists in only 13 minutes. He came in the game when the Blazers were up 5 and when he came out they were up 20. Jack played the rest of the game and the lead evaporated and they nearly blew the game.

Jack had only 3 assists in 38 minutes and the offense was stagnant with him in there. He is not bad, but the team plays better with Sergio. I would like to see them split time at PG over the next month to see how they fare with equal playing time.

Not as sharp as the Spaniard but the future is bright with both of them on our team.
