Since I couldn't make it to last night's game, and it wasn't televised, I have enlisted a guest blogger, BlazerJay. BlazerJay did attend the game, and here are his thoughts...great stuff.
BlazerJay:"I was anticipating a good old whooping by the Blazers, you know, since they were playing the Knicks. And since all of the Blazers said they going through an attitude adjustment of working hard and getting back to the 5-game win streak Blazers.
They started out by posting Zach, but he got double-teamed then threw it right to Jamal Crawford which led to a fast break dunk. Then they posted him again, and this time he tried to hit Jarret Jack cutting to the hoop, but he threw it to another Knick. He did this three times in a row. One time even trying to pass to Joel, who passes to Joel anyways? That’s why I equate Zach to one of those players that you just let him shoot over double and triple teams (You know the type, “Steve” players) because a turnover that leads to a dunk is worse than a bad shot, at least the shot might go in.
The Blazers actually played a decent first quarter, they kept feeding Zach the ball, and he was able to make a bunch of outside fade-aways off one leg. That’s how he shoots even in warm ups now. But defensively, they couldn’t stop Jamal Crawford and Eddy Curry. But the game was close, and everything should be good, because the second quarter means Sergio’s coming in.
But the second quarter started, and no Sergio, this time Jack came back at point guard. By halftime they were already down by 11. The third quarter was worse. The Knicks just outworked the Blazers. David Lee got every rebound, Eddy Curry was dunking, and Marbury was hitting threes. It got so bad the crowd was booing and asking to substitute all 5 starters, and asked to put in Todd, yes, that guy who runs around the stadium with Blaze.
Sergio and Lamarcus finally came in the Blazers were down by 20 entering the fourth. The fourth quarter lineup that included Sergio, Lamarcus, and Martell actually played pretty good, cutting the lead down to 12 with Sergio pushing the ball down the court on every possession. But with a chance to cut the lead further, Martell took an alley-oop from Sergio and dunked it in between the rim and the backboard, and got it stuck. The Blazers never really recovered from there, and ended up losing 81-99."

I think this Blase_31 guy has no idea what he's talking about! Those 5 2007 predictions of his are load of bullcrap. A real fan would go to every home game not just half of them!
I've been a loyal non-fan for decades now and I know more about the team than Blase_31. For instance we should trade all our players for Sebastion Telfair. For gods sake the guy has his own movie, he has to be good. THROUGH THE FIRE was way better than Michael's SPACE JAM! Telfair can take on all five starters of any team in the NBA! Did you see what he did to them high school kids in that movie??? He's so awesome.
You fool...you are seriously going to say this Blase_31 guy "has no idea what he's talking about" and you are going to use movie references as your defense? Seriously!
And good work on these blogs Blase_31, it's nice to read about the perspective of a true Blazer fan!
