We should be ashamed... beating up on old people like that....

Thats right, beating up old people. The youngest team in the league, the Blazers, went into San Antonio, and put some hurt on the oldest team in the league, the Spurs. As the game started, things looked bad, the Spurs jumped all over the Blazers and it looked as tho our road woes would continue. But then, I realized that I forgot something. We have something amazing, his name is Brandon Roy. after being down by 19 points in the 1st quarter, B.Roy decided he was done letting the Spurs pummel him. He led a charge back and with 3 seconds left in the half the Blazers were down 5. Pretty damn good right? well apparently Steve Blake didn't quite like that as he drilled a half court shot at the buzzer to bring the Blazers within 2 at the half. To start the 3rd quarter thing looked a bit sketchy as the Spurs pushed their 2 point lead to 8, but proving how versatile this team is and how many people can destroy you on a given night, Lamarcus Aldridge decided to start a free clinic on how to play ball, and the Spurs got a tough lesson. The Blazers captured the lead by the end of the quarter and never looked back. They ran and hid winning the game by 12 points, 95 to 83. it was a huge win. the Blazers won the season series with the Spurs 3 games to 1 and now hold the tie breaker in case the Blazers and spurs end up with identical records. They also helped their case for home court in the first round. The Blazers needed this win a lot and they went out and earned it. Perhaps the biggest and most encouraging thing about this win, was that it was on the road. The Blazers have struggled against the top 8 teams in the West on the road and tonight, they answered whether or not they could win on the road. Roy finished the game with a game high 26 points, Aldridge finished with 20, and my man Joel tha thrilla Przybilla dominated the glass pulling down 17 boards. it was a statement win and the Blazers stated loudly and clearly that they are here to compete and you have to beat them because they wont lay down and die for anyone. Not saying that San Antonio would be an easy 1st round opponent, but at this point you kinda have to root for the Blazers to land them in the first round, as it seems like a better match up than Houston. So the next test is a BIG one and Im already all riled up for the game. Thats right, The L*kers are gonna be in town Friday night at 7. Be sure to catch that game. and if you're fortunate enough to get to go to the game like me, then remember: Go Loud, Or Go Home. these are exciting times Blazers fans! feel the red and black blood coursing through your veins and show everyone what Blazermania is all about. Lets paint the town red!... and black too! Goooo Blazers!
