So close...
posted: Monday, February 04, 2008 at 9:37 PM

The Trail Blazers were down by 17 in the second quarter. They led by seven in the third. A last-second free throw by Travis Outlaw forced overtime. An Allen Iverson shot in the final second of OT proved to be the dagger. The Trail Blazers fall to the Nuggets 105-103 in an absolute heart-breaker.

Brandon Roy led the Trail Blazers with 26 point and had seven rebounds and eight assists.

Jarrett Jack was fantastic down the stretch and finished with 17 points, nine rebounds and nine assists.

Martell Webster sparked the comeback with 15 points in the third quarter. Travis Outlaw finished with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds. Steve Blake neared a double-double of his own with 11 points and nine assists.

The Nuggets were led by their two All-Star starters, Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson. Anthony led all players with 28 points and 15 rebounds. Iverson had 25 points, six rebounds and eight assists.

The Trail Blazers are now 27-20 on the season. They will take on the Chicago Bulls at the Rose Garden on Wednesday. Don't miss it!

Once again, poor coaching decision to leave Jack in the game with 6 turnovers. Wound up being 7! Thanks for keeping JP in the game though. Poor free throw shooting, poor execution and 60 POINTS GIVEN UP IN THE PAINT!! 21 OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS FOR DENVER. That my friends is getting our beloved team a one way ticked to...an early vacation. I am impressed with the way this team has played most of the year. However, I was at the Knicks game and it was UGLY and tonight they gave one away just like Cleveland. Too young, no rebounding, and sometimes a lack of good coaching. McMillian is good, but sometimes needs to let JJ sit (or ask to trade him) I dont care if he flirted with a triple double. Hold the ball and let them foul you and perhaps your team wins. And all of you make WAY TOO MUCH MONEY to be missing free throws like that. We also need to learn how to put a body on someone below the glass. Disappointed but definitely not driven away! Get em next time!

Hey..how about playing Josh McRob and JP together. I bet the defense doesn't get 60 points in the paint or 21 offensive rebounds! WE NEED O-D-E-N!!!!

Iverson with the dagger...
posted: at 9:35 PM

Iverson took Jack off the dribble and hit a jumper with 0.9 seconds remaining to give the Nuggets a 105-103 lead.

The Trail Blazers have just under a second to pull off something miraculous, or else this one will end up a loss...

Jarrett Jack stole the ball and broke out on the fast break, but lost the ball before he could shoot or pass. The Nuggets have the ball with 15.5 second remaining and the score tied 103-103.

Can the Trail Blazers stop the Nuggets on the final possession???

End of the first
posted: at 7:32 PM

The first quarter was not pretty for the Trail Blazers. Luckily, the Nuggets were almost as ugly. The Trail Blazers are down 20-14 going into the second quarter and Nate McMillan will probably have some stern words in the huddle.

Channing Frye leads the Trail Blazers with eight points, including three of Portland's four made shots. Travis Outlaw has the Trail Blazers' other field goal.

Carmelo Anthony leads the Nuggets with 10 points and seven rebounds. Kenyon Martin has four points and seven rebounds. The Nuggets have nine offensive rebounds already.

Let's see if the Trail Blazers can get hot here in the second quarter.

No Mr. Jones???
posted: at 6:58 PM

Josh McRoberts was called back to the Trail Blazers from the D-League yesterday, but there was no way of telling which of the 13 Trail Blazers on the roster would not dress for the game. After watching the shootaround, it looks like James Jones will not be playing tonight. It will be interesting to see if Nate shortens the rotation or if McRoberts, Taurean Green or Raef LaFrentz will get some playing time tonight.

Starting Lineups
posted: at 6:39 PM

The Trail Blazers will start Martell Webster (SF), LaMarcus Aldridge (PF), Joel Przybilla (C), Steve Blake (PG) and Brandon Roy (SG).

The Nuggets will start Carmelo Anthony (SF), Kenyon Martin (PF), Steven Hunter (C), Anthony Carter (PG) and Allen Iverson (SG).

The Nuggets will really miss Marcus Camby, the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year and current NBA-leader in blocks.

Let's see if the Trail Blazers can take advantage of that hole in the middle of the Denver defense.

A Northwest Division Showdown
posted: at 6:23 PM

We've got a big game on our hands tonight here at the Rose Garden. The Denver Nuggets are in town for a game with big implications for the playoffs. The Trail Blazers have won two of the three games this year against the Nuggets, so a win tonight would win the season series. A win tonight would also bring the Trail Blazers into a tie with the Nuggets for second place in the division. The tiebreaker is all-important at the end of the season, particularly in the tight Western Conference.

Brandon Roy and the Trail Blazers will look to match his triple-double on Friday against a Nuggets team that is missing its best defensive player. Marcus Camby is out because of injury, which should open up many scoring opportunities for the Trail Blazers. Camby leads the NBA in blocks per game and is the league's second-leading rebounder.

Last time the Nuggets were in town, Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony each scored 34 points - impressive, but not enough to beat your Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers will look to repeat that performance and get another Northwest Division win here in the Rose Garden.

Stay tuned!
