Incredible!! For the first three quarters of the game I thought the Blazers had very little chance. Especially after losing the previous two games on last second shots, with one of those being last night and then tonight playing one of the leagues toughest teams on the road. It just felt beforehand, to this viewer, like a loss waiting to happen. But it's like I've always said .... You never know!! They stayed close (within ten points is close in the NBA) then came on like beasts in the last five minutes and beat Oklahoma City. You can point to every player in the game during the final minutes and pick out two or three key plays made, on offense, or defense, rebounding or just plain hustle and desire! Even Terry Stotts in the first half, using his timeouts in an obvious effort to keep the game from getting out of control.
I watch this and start thinking: "There's no reason that I can't go out and get in a game, bounce around and run up and down the court." Then the game ends and I'm jolted back to reality, remembering my age and that I have trouble with a brisk walk across the street these days.
