Portland Trailblazers vs Minnesota Timberwolves

This game is important. It will be a tough one. The T-Wolves are 13-7. However, against Chicago they shot only 36%. We could only be so lucky if they would repeat this! I wouldn't bet on it. The Wolves are probably the better team but I think the Blazers have a chance.

Zach will be inspired with KG on the floor, and if he remembers to pass the ball (as he has said he wants to do), anything can happen. As always, it hinges on the 3D's to make shots! Damon, DA and Darius have GOT to score. We know Ruben will be doing his part. I think the Blazers are going into this game with confidence. The Timberwolves are probably wanting to snap out of whatever it was that bit them when they played Chicago.

A win against the Wolves will be a good energizer to begin a 6 game road trip with! If we get this win, I wouldn't be suprised to see the Blazers go at least 4-2 on this trip. If anything is going to bring them down, it will be the schedule. Who came up with this one? 2 sets of back to backs with the second one having them fly from Atlanta to Detroit? Come on!
Game Preview

GO BLAZERS!

UPDATE: A loss. We had a fair shot at it. Missed free throws (Darius!!) and a great night for Wally pretty much did it for us. Overall not a bad game, I guess. It frustrates me when we have such an opportunity (12 steals) and end up losing. Is it just me or does Darius seem to be completely out of control out there? We might as well get over it. Bring on Cleveland.
