GAME 35 @ HOUSTON (Hoopscasted)
Wow i guess it wasnt just the game it self when playing.. We got toasted in Houston on hoopscast.. I cant bitch to much 2 times earlier this season we came from behind and won by 1 point on 2 previous hoopscasted games, one included Houston, So pay back was on i guess. but wow horrid game.. Im starting to wonder if i really even have a good team, on the calender we did play the night b4 so maybe fatigue is setting in.. down by 30 going into the 4th ouch...and another horrible 3rd quarter, this time outscored 31-15, LaMarcus Aldridge fouled out after just 28 minutes. David Lee continues to struggle from the field, going 4-11, Is he on the hot seat for his starting position at center ? Backup PG Nolan Smith came up big off the bench with 19 points in 14 minutes both PG's attacked the hoop and got to the line combining for 19-23 from the free throw line.... can the Blazers bounce back from this 6 game skid... up next is a 50-50 game a played first half and sim 2nd half..

BLAZERS SNAP 6 GAME SKID, Beat Sixers 100-88
*MLK day in the city of brotherly love...... This game was alot better overall in the first half I actually was doing pretty well with the team, Shortened the rotation down to 8 guys.. They seemed to play better and I almost didnt wanna sim the 2nd half cause i was worried that since im on the road... the sim is going to give the Sixers a huge 2nd half but i stuck by it... the next game will be coach mode all the way through....Blazers now back to .500 at 18-18.. Sixers fall to 18-19. Portland now 1-2 on there 6 game road trip..

Game Notes- With the rest of the Lakers struggling, Kobe took it into his own hands, and scored half the teams points but still came up short, Bryant missed a game winning 3 at the buzzer.. Alridge and Crawford returned to combine for 36 points and 19 rebounds, And the Blazers needed all that, As they returned home and beat one of the top western conference teams.. Up next, back on the road for one game.. @ Golden State...

Game Notes- Not much to say on this game, lights out shooting for them all game, This game was simulated using hoopscast, But still that was embarrassing, 139 points allowed is bad... The Warriors scored 48 in the 2nd quarter alone.. Maybe Portland can bounce back, at home in there next game..

Game Notes- Former Blazer Greg Oden had 17 points and 4 rebounds in 21 minutes, Blazers Center David Lee fouled out in just 17 minutes.. The Blazers bench played great keeping the team ahead for the first 4 minutes of the 4th allowing the Starters to get alil more rest before finishing off the Jazz, This game had its runs in it.. Portland lead most of the game but Utah kep fighting back many times, cutting Portlands leads away, The Blazers have won 3 outta the last 4 games to end the month.. this was a big game for both teams even though the season is only about half way over, Portland entered the game 2 games up on Utah for the 8th seed... Portland has 3 days off and then home vs Charlotte..
