开拓者与掘金．昨晚，我每隔一个周末去看望我的两个大孩子。我们坐在沙发上，谈论着过去两周的情况，谈到了开拓者队。我15岁的女儿问我她最喜欢的球员布兰登回来了没有。当我给她答复，告诉她他们今晚有比赛时，她问我们能不能看比赛。我有点流泪，说，当然哈。我13岁的儿子也很兴奋，直到我告诉他香草大猩猩是交易，我儿子和乔尔长得很像。在俄勒冈州的托莱多，我们没有机会观看开拓者的比赛，因为康卡斯特的一个非常糟糕的词。我们让年幼的孩子们上床睡觉，弄点爆米花，喝点激浪汽水，坐在沙发上看电视，度过一段美好的家庭时光。虽然我不想这么说，但这场比赛很棒，很高兴看到掘金在没有卡梅洛的情况下打得很好。 The Blazers being short handed played very well too. Near the end of the game around 39 seconds left my daughter said lets turn it the game is over, I told her we are not turning it because anything can happen in the last part of the game. The game went back and forth for a couple posessions, Gallanari missed his free throw Brandon and Rudy hitting three pointers and all 3 of us were yelling, screaming jumping off of the couch high fiving and fist bumping. My daughter told me she would never turn a game off when it is within reaching distance. That game was awesome, the time with my kids was priceless, seeing Brandon getting his stroke and confidence back and watching the whole team come together was great. With Gerald coming in and saying he now has th itch was great to hear as well. It has to be hard to be traded away from a team that was yours for so long. Joel, Dante and Sean you will be missed you all had a special place in the fans hearts here in Oregon. Here is to Doing great in the Playoffs, Gerald is going to be great for the Blazers and will he guide us out of the first round and hopefully further.
