Lois McGregor said...: This message is for Joel Pryzbilla:
I have been a Blazer fan for years, and watching every game on TV. And I watched you play in Seattle. I am very impressed with your courage in not backing down from big ol' nasty centers like Shaq. I have watched your free throw percentage increase this year and you should be very proud of that. I know how much you really wanted to play 82 games this year, and I couldn't believe it when you went up for that block in the Spurs game resulting in the broken hand. Please take care of yourself and we will see you next year. Lois McGregor; 12:50 PM

Steve Blake sinks a two, bringing Portland to 59 points, with San Antonio maintaining a 6 point lead with 66 points.

End of the 3rd Qtr.- Portland-52, San Antonio- 61

It's been a low scoring affair so far, Portland has just 52 points entering the final quarter. Hopefully Brandon Roy will bring some of the momentum he conjured up in the 3rd into the final period.

Brandon Roy- Back to Back to Back!

posted: at 4:32 PM

PERMALINK | VIEW COMMENTS (0) | LEAVE COMMENT |

Brandon Roy sinks 3 buckets in a row, and leads the team in scoring with 15 points.

Also, it appears Portland still loves former player Ime Udoka, who gets loud applause when he checks in for the Spurs, but Damon Stoudemire's entrance on the court receieves mixed reactions from the fans, half booing, half cheering the former Trail Blazer.
