Here's Jason Quick's game story.

And one from Kerry Eggers too.

Kerry Eggers also has a recap of some of the team's charity work.

And here's Mike Barrett's take which includes a fantastic picture of the Blazer bench.

For those who, like Mike, are fretting about TNT's Ernie Johnson not remembering that the Blazers had won four in a row earlier this year (claiming that these were our first back-to-back wins), don't sweat it.  They'll remember us when we're winning back-to-back championships, eh?

TNT
I watch all of the weekday games on tape because I work a swing shift schedule and would (most times) rather be able to see the games than listen to them live on the radio.  I usually fast forward through the postgame stuff, but I've always enjoyed TNT's Inside the NBA coverage... or used to back before I started working the hours that I work now.  I heard the mistake the first time and figured they'd eventually correct themselves later, but then I checked out this place and Barrett's Blog and was pretty surprised.

I also wasn't too impressed about how they spent an entire segment talking about how Joel should have kicked Shaq in "the onions".  Seems like creativity was lacking a bit there...

But when we win 4 championship in a row...
Big Ernie Johnson will just say "this is the first time the Trailblazers have won consecutive championships" and then Chuck and Kenny will chortle and say "THAT AIN'T NO DYNASTY", and then we look like a bunch of dumb jerks again.

Then they'll all pronounce Oregon, "Ore-a-gone" and then say how bad for the NBA it is for us to win it all.  It's important that an east coast team wins, it's been empirically proven by science.

We don't get no respect, no respect, I tell ya!

who cares
that Ernie Johnson made a mistake?

Seriously, we won on national TV. Roy looked awesome, the announcers seemed impressed. Outlaw looked ridiculously good. Let's not nitpick. No one will even remember that Ernie Johnson made a mistake at the beginning of Inside the NBA on December 6th months from now.

Speaking of errors
Poor Travis gets no respect.  Others have pointed out the one site that keeps linking him to a picture of Bo Outlaw ... well, I just looked at ESPNs video highlights (minimal, not worth linking to) and he was called TRACY Outlaw.  Cool if he's getting confused with McGrady :-)

I'll never forget
how often Terry Porter was called Kevin Porter.  And Terry was an all-star and played a couple of decades in the league.  Kevin Porter was barely a blip on the radar.

Barkley
I was watching the game at a bar with the sound off. Anyone know if Barkley commented on the blazers?

Not really
Mostly he talked about how bad Miami was.

Shaq...
I haven't heard any comments from the front office on the ball-face mash on Joel.  Think he gets a fine / suspension / atomic wedgie for that classless move?

It sure didn't look 'accidental' to me...

Now that's what I'm talking about
More games like that please!  

Outlaw gets the game ball for dunking on people like he should be doing every single game.  I hope he's having fun doing that because I want to see more of it.

The thing I didn't see coming was shutting down Dwayne Wade, that was a bit of a shocker.
