hahahahhaha. seriously though, i DEF need to go to a game or 2 this year. that is a MUST!
even though ellis MIIIIIIGHT be out(Warriors guard Monta Ellis, who is averaging 18 points in nine games since Nelson inserted him into the starting lineup, strained his left thigh and was limited to less than 20 minutes Tuesday night. His status is uncertain for this contest.), that still doesnt change the fact that we are still the underdogs in this game...NONETHELESS, GOOOOOO BLAZERS!!!!

I didn't think the blazers could pull this off on the 2nd of a back-to-back (i know the warriors were too), but we are really playing well right now... 5 in a row!
And, I don't think James Jones usually plays like that, but if he's open he'll can a 3 on you no problem, probably the best pure shooter on the team along with Martell Webster.
Jarret Jack is playing really good right now too, love how he's attacking the rim -- he's like a poor-man's young Boom Dizzle.
I have to say tho', I was more impressed thugging it up to get the win in Utah the night before, since we have been shitty on the Road until real recently.
edit: the zone defense killed both Utah and the Dubs, but now that teams are expecting it I think they'll game plan for it and it'll be less effective. Which is bad news because we are THIN up front with LMA out. Channing Frye needs to hit those protein/testosterone shakes and grow some nuts, lol

Its about which team is shooting jump shots and which team is attacking the rim, too. Not saying the warriors didn't get jobbed a few times, but thats life on the road in the NBA. Also in the zone defense you aren't gonna foul as much or give up penetration, but you are going to give your opponents open looks from long range -- too bad the warriors were cold from outside.
