Cantzano's piece today berating Blazers fans for not showing up aside,
I thought the energy level last night was as high as I've seen it for
years. Even last year's win over LA didn't seem to energize the crowd
as much as this one, which is understandable considering we were
playing 10 on 12 & pretty much held the lead throughout the game.
Z-Bo did have a monster game, but that half-court heave with 6 seconds
left at the end of the first quarter was a real head shaker & gave
Radmo the opportunity to hit a 3 to close the gap to 2 points to end
the quarter. His 2 TOs both came off absolute brain farts, too, but
overall he did seem to pass back out a tad more than we expect & he was
a monster in the paint.
McMillan was obviously not happy with the half-court toss either as he
left Zach on the bench a little extra long starting the 2nd quarter to
give him a chance to think about it.
The good news is we won the game so there's no need to second guess his
errors.
Go Blazers !
