Warm up the bus!

To quote the great Chick Hearn, "This one is in the refrigerator! The lights are out, the door is closed, the butter's getting hard and the JELL-O IS JIGGLING!"

The Rose Garden is on it's feet with section 211 chanting "8 STRAIGHT!!!" Section 305 is on their feet screaming "MVP" every time Brandon Roy touches the ball... And now it's official!

8 IN A ROW!

Final score- 88 - 76 TRAIL BLAZERS!

Brandon Roy led the way with 24 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds... Joel Przybilla had 6 points and 9 rebounds... Raef LaFrentz grabbed 11 boards and scored 2 points... Martell Webster added 13 and Travis outlaw finished a perfect 6 for 6 from the free-throw line!

Tyson Chandler led the way for the Hornets finishing with 16 points and 19 boards and point guard Chris Paul dished 8 assists in the losing effort.

So, the question for the night is: Who's next?!?

The Trail Blazers look to make it 9 straight this Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. Be there or BE NOWHERE.

BlazerRed said...: What a gritty, ugly game. It was a defensive effort and a battle of wills. No one shot well tonight, but who cares? We got the "W" and a lot of guys helped pull it off. Let's here it for team chemistry! Now a day to rest and recharge and then bring on the Raptors!! Go Blazers and Let's Hear It Rip City!!!; 9:38 PM
yellowman said...: Ugly but beautiful! It shouldn't matter but it was timely for "NBA Fastbreak" to give some extra mention about the winning streak, the youth and talent of this group. Maybe in a few more days somebody will tell the ESPN folks that LaMarcus Aldridge has been out of the lineup. GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK fellas!; 9:56 PM
MJ said...: Actually, to quote the great Chick Hearn, let's get the quote right! As he said it thousands of times, "This game is in the refrigerator! The door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the JELLO's jiggling!" Go Blazers!; 10:00 PM
Ed Brockman said...: In the post game interviews several guys mentioned they were having a lot of fun. Tonight did not look like a lot of fun but they had the committment to each other to see it through. Nate and the Blazers are quietly showing the rest of the NBA that team basketball can win against the allstars any day of the week.
