Third Straight Blowout. Blazers Waltz Jazz. 125-104
We called for a playoff performance from "your" Portland Trail Blazers and I would say that you could consider their delivery right on time. A third straight win by 20+ points? When was the last time that happened? (This is me summoning stat geeks.) At one point in the game, I murmured to myself, "The Blazers are getting every call," but now that I see the box score, that wasn't necessarily the case. Shooting 61% from the field was actually the culprit in this "blazing."
Game thoughts in fantastical bulleted format:
- The Roy/Aldridge tandem is now what we expected it to be.
- Someone argue that Deron Williams is a better play than Roy. Please do.
- Holding Boozer to just 3 boards should be noted.
- +35 for Blake? Sad to say, but he almost needs to play 48 minutes per.
- If Batum isn't in the "untouchable" trade-talk category, then fire Pritchard.
- What's with opponents needing to throw balls at Joel?
- Glad to see him continue to stand up for himself though. Ghostface!
- Any word on Rudy's return?
- I'm feeling giddy just writing this post as my mind wanders into the near future.
Box Score.

The last time the Blazers won 3-straight by 20+ points was in 1992.
I just read that somewhere too, thanks for looking it up for me though.
It's the Ghost...Face...Przybilla!!!!
Hah such a foo. Damn right it is.
Blazers did get every call in the first 3 quarters. Boxscore is the result of a ton of 4th quarter makeups. Hard to argue Deron over Brandon after this game, but didn't he score 34 in Portland last year?
Talking this year Welk. There was a lot of bitching over the All-Star break about Williams over Roy and I think Roy proved again tonight why he's deserving of all of the awards he keeps getting.
I absolutely love Roy as a player. Don't get me wrong. You didn't hear me bitching about him over Williams as an all-star. All I'm saying is Deron had a bad night.
Deron did have a bad night; we all know what he is capable of.
Just glad on my end, to finally see Roy getting plenty of talk nationally.
