Oooooh...Elson a tough fadeaway hits to start.  2-0

Jack drives and scores in the lane!  Whooo!  6-6

Tim hits 2.  12-8

Now Parker fouled on a drive.

Now Parker steals.  Right by LaFrentz, lays it in, and kind of a ghost foul for the and one.

Our is non shooting but that's OK as Mags was fouled

Nice move by Magloire

Now Spurs miss and Mags boards.

Timeout Spurses

Geez. Won't make baseball anymore interesting. Let's get the Blazers home games in HD! None of this 10 games per season girly stuff.

Parker drives and dishes to some guy in the crowd!  Our ball!

Travis rattles one home!!!  19-15

Travis is turning into the second coming of Uncle Cliffy without the defense or attitude problems.

And on cue he misses.

Bonner drives and is fouled on the shot

Duncan going to the locker room!

This is the problem with the long-or-layup offense.  Opposing teams can break on either of those misses.

Now Bonner for three?  Stop that!  30-19

Tony back to the bench.

Sergio hits over Elson to start the period.  32-21

If they're going to hit jumpers all night long we're in trouble.

Sergio gets in trouble in the lane and bails out to Roy who misses a long one.  And we stop Elson at the end of a break!  And Roy draws a call driving on the other end.  Nice energy.  

Spurs crew is saying Parker is probably done.  Also saying that Duncan went back and has returned.

$21.46 per game. That's what? A $5/gm saving? What a bad deal.

The massacre has begun.  They're shooting 63%

Jones misses.  Spurs board.

Jones drives, misses, gets own.  Blazers reset.

Jack drives on a couple Spurs and scores!  43-29

OBERTO WAS PULLING ON IMES ARMS. That should have been a foul on OBERTO.

Now Bowen to Finley ALLEY-OOP!

Get within 6 at the half boys.

Now Parker drives and draws a foul on the pass.

Now a Spurs' three second call!

Can it be halftime now???

Score here boys!

Mags hits BOTH!  52-47

Manu misses a bank.  Fast offense there but the Blazers will get the final shot

Now we steal...no!  Foul called!  That would have been a breakaway

Now Jack hits!  Staying with them!  56-52

Now LaFrentz inside!  WOW!  58-54

Awwww...Jack passes short to LaFrentz and Bowen ties him up.  Jump ball.

Now a non-shooting foul on our end.

Hits the second.  66-59
