Travis Outlaw wanted in Memphis for second count of mass murder

Thats right. Travis Outlaw has committed murder for the second time in Memphis. tonight, April 7th 2009, Travis Outlaw of your Portland Trail Blazers was seen at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, ripping out the hearts of the Memphis fans by drilling a huge shot with no more than 14 seconds left in the game to give the Blazers the lead for good. Trout also did this last year in a game in Memphis, hitting a bank shot game winner that would ultimately be the start of our 13 game win streak. Thats right, Mr. 4th quarter was at it again as Travis and Brandon Roy, Mr. 4th quarter and Mr. Clutch, saved a game that should have been won by the Grizzlies. the Griz played awesome tonight, they put a hurt on the Blazers, hitting everything they took. OJ Mayo went off scoring over 30 points, Rudy Gay also had a good game as well as Mike Connely Jr. Memphis played amazing defense as well forcing the Blazers into many uncharacteristic turnovers to the tune of 19 TO. The Blazers also shot poorly, from both the field and at the charity stripe. At one point Portland trailed by 18 points. Rudy Fernandez tho helped remedy that with some well timed 3 point shooting to get us back in the game. And thats all Brandon and Travis needed as they both stepped it up in a huge way at the end of the fourth. down one, Travis outlaw hit a huge bank shot and was fouled, another big bucket for Big Shot Trav. however, he ended up missing the free throw and giving the Griz about 14 seconds to score the ball. as Mike Connely brought the ball up tho Brandon Roy stepped up as he always does. The Natural stripped the ball from Connely and was fouled, sending him to the free throw line where he camly made both to put the Blazers up three. And as time expired, OJ Mayo missed a 3 pointer to win the game and the Blazers stole a game in Memphis. It was an exciting game, and tho we probably deserved to lose it, you take a win whenever you can get it, however you can get it. so now things set up very interesting for tomorrow nights game against the Spurs, if the Blazers win, they would move into a tie with the spurs but would hold the tie breaker meaning the Blazers would be sitting at the 4th spot and the spurs at the 5 with the Blazers having home court. that may be the series the blazers want now that manu Ginobli is out for the year. regardless of all the seeding. tomorrows game is another big test for the Blazers, seeing if they can win on the road against a western conference playoff team. so make sure you catch the game and cheer on your Blazers, we need a Rip city Uprising! also, be cautious about starting time for the game tomorrow. the schedule says 5:30 but i have heard that it actually is starting at 4 now. The schedule also says the game is on kgw, but im not sure of that either, so just keep your eyes peeled, you dont wanna miss this game. Rock on Rip City, an GOOO BLAZERS!
