Hey guys, not gonna say much about the game after reading the last 7 pages or so in this thread. I know there was a lot of debate last summer as to which team had the strongest bench and I think Orlando and Portland were mentioned the most. I think this season proves Portland actually has the stronger bench simply because they're 25-16 and have numerous people out with injuries this season.
As for the Blake shot giving Portland fans their Chalupa's... I think the Blazers had to take a shot because the shot clock was going to run out before the game clock (I'm not positive, but that is my recollection anyways). I have seen the Blazers simply let the clock run out and turn the ball over, but they didn't do this last night. Dunno if it was because they wanted to reach 100 points for the fans or what.
Seems to be a lot of people down on the Magic right now. Keep those heads up because the team will get it together and be a contender in the playoffs. Keep supporting your guys and good luck the rest of the season, particularly against the Lakers next week!
