Ugh. Just when it looked like over the last few games that Jack had figured out to run a fast break he blows another one.

Finely some blazers are hitting outside shots.

that's because they've had plenty of wide open shots to zero-in the range,

Portland's perimeter defense is definitely weak tonight

If they can keep this within 10 by halftime, it'll be huge for their confidence considering the way they started out.

And the officials just clearly waited to see if Howard's shot went in to call that. It bounced twice on the rim and out before they blew the whistle.

Wow. After that horrid stretch we're right back in this game. If we can come out strongly in the third this is a winnable game.

Kind of surprising that the Blazers buckled down and cut down the lead. Let's hope for more of that in the 2nd half.

Other than Roy and Jack those guys are playing like a bunch of teenage girls, refusing to attack the basket, settling for jump shot after jump shot they can't make. I'm sick of watching these dresses refuse to take it to the rack. Grow some balls Aldridge, everyone knows you just going to fake and fade away and fade away. This lack of aggressiveness could develop in to a serious problem.

Every time I see Aldridge take a 20 footer, I cringe a little.
