Blazers vs. Miami Heat

What is there to say? If the Blazers win this game it will be a miracle. We have lost 5 of our last 7 games. We are weak in the middle and I expect Theo and Pryzbilla to have foul trouble going up against Shaq. Zach may have to serve duty at center as well.

Damon's shooting has improved dramatically, averaging 19.5 pts a game since Mo told him to "play your game". This is great but we also need DA, Darius, NVE to play their game! We will likely be forced to rely on outside shooting because of Shaq. I do not feel that confident. This is where Vince Carter could help us greatly!

If the guards are making shots, we will have a chance. If not, Zach and SAR can not do it alone. Hopefully Shaq will shoot free throws as well as we all know he does ;)

This will be Eddie Jone's 700th career game.
Game Preview

GO BLAZERS!

UPDATE: The guards made shots. Result? Blazers win. DA with 19 and NVE (good to see him hit a few) with 15. Damon got 8, Darius with 9. Not bad at all.
I hope this is a sign of better days ahead. It makes no difference who those guards are as long as they score. No miracle here, the guys simply played a good game.
Way to go Blazers! Great TEAM work!
