15 Thoughts vs. New York 12/2

Game 2 of the ultimate roadie continues tonight against the always Marbury-less New York Knickerbockers. After a convincing win against an Eastern Conference powerhouse, Portland now dips into a little mediocrity. A slip up in New York or Washington could turn this trip into tragedy very quickly especially with the Celtics and Raptors on the tail end of things. Put it to your Stephon-Z-Bo-less foes, my boys!
