Portland Trailblazers vs. Phoenix Suns

Back to back. The guys played a disapointing game last night in Seattle. Phoenix is playing very well. Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudemire, and Steve Nash have made the Suns a legitimate threat. Marion grabbed a seson high 18 rebounds against Minnesota on Friday night and Stoudemire scored 28. They had been on a 9 game winning streak when they lost to Minny by 4.

The Blazers need to pay attention. They are going to be tired, but hopefully they will take their frustrations from last night out on Phoenix. I can't help but wonder if trade rumors are beginning to take a toll on our guys. DA and Damon have GOT to score. Both of them have been mentioned in possible trades with Toronto. I have a feeling if they don't get their numbers up, we may see big changes very soon.

UPDATE: Oh man...this is hard times. Every interview after the game said one thing, "CHANGE". Change is a must. Will it be a change to the starting lineup or to the roster? It is anybody's guess at this point. I will say that the guys all seemed to "know" something. Change is in the wind, most definitely. This game pretty much sealed that deal.
