Lucky you, you geta 2fer... okay so i was just being lazy

so Im gonna give you 2 games in one blog but i have a good news, both games had happy endings. The first game was on saturday, one night after taking on the L*kers, the Blazers went down to La to take on the Clippers. this game scared me a bit as it was the Blazers 4th game in 5 nights, against a Clippers team that had nothing to lose. A very dangerous game. The Blazers looked like they were going to coast to a victory but the Clippers, but like i thought, the clips were ready to play. in the middle of the second half, the Clips tied the score at 66 and actually took a 2 point lead at 68 to 66. the Blazers then realized that they needed to wake up. Rudy Fernandez and Lamarcus Aldridge played very nice games as the Blazers ran away and hid beating the Clips 87 to 72. this game wasn't pretty, but it was a win. The Blazers swept their 4 games in 5 nights, which is an impressive feat.

The last game played was last night as the Blazers returned to the Rose Garden to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is another one of those games that makes me nervous. Ha. It was a laugher. It turned into a dunk fest and the Blazers took care of business and destroyed the Thunder, 113 to 83. Kevin Durant had only 10 points on the night. BRoy never had to do much, he recorded 20 points in 22 minutes, then got to enjoy the lay up line lol. Gregory also had a big night, 16 points and 9 rebounds in just 20 minutes. and we cant forget Travis who started in place of Batum (who was out with Strep). Trout stepped up and dropped 21 on OKC. it was a fun night including some awesome dunks by almost everyone including Michael Ruffin lol. My favorite by far was an alley oop to Jerryd Bayless that he slammed home on the run with one hand. sooo delicious. So it was also a big win for the Blazers as they now have won 9 of the last 10 games and are looking pretty good going into the playoffs. theres one home game left, tomorrow night against the Nuggets. Tip off is 7:30 and its on KGW. the game is big because if the Blazers win, they will Guarantee themselves home court advantage in the first round. there are 8 possible scenarios that could play out tomorrow on the last game of the season, make sure to check it out and see what happens. Also, Tickets for the playoffs go on sale Thursday at noon. theres also something else Blazers related going on at noon on Thursday, the Blazers will hold a playoff rally at pioneer courthouse square from noon to three. im a little peeved that they are holding the two events at the same time but make sure to attend at least one, if not both activities! Rip City is here, and this year, we're bringing Blazermania to the playoffs! Go Blazers!
