Post Game, Nonics Return
Last night, the Blazers redeemed themselves against the Nonics, by beating them by a large sum of points.
What is there to say? Brandon Roy was good but not great, as he started off shooting a ton of jumpers, but still managed to pick up his normal numbers. LaMarcus was hampered by foul trouble for most of the game, but he recorded a double double. Greg came to play, and dominated on both ends of the court, along with outperforming Kevin Durant. So that’s the big three, right?
Other people who contributed included Joel with an absurd amount of rebounds, Travis with his patented “be crappy all game and then plunge the dagger in the fourth quarter” pattern, and Jerryd, who decided to look like a real PG for the first time in his career.
At the game, there was a surprising lack of green and yellow in support of the Sonics. It seemed like some were confused as to what they were going to do. They couldn’t root for the Nonics, because that would be rooting for Clay Bennett, and they weren’t ready to switch their alliance to Portland. So basically there were a few half-hearted Super-Sonics chants. The signs were great, but none of them ever went up on the big screen.
During halftime, while speaking with some Sonics fans, Trail Post learned that Seattle kept the rights to the Sonics name and history, but it lost one more thing in addition to the team - its championship. Their NBA title was taken down to OKC by Bennett. I swear, every new story I hear about him just creates a more evil caricature. He not only takes a team, but the title too. He does this during schedule gaps where he isn’t kicking cute puppies. I’m sure he’s a vampire that drinks baby blood too.
Clay kicked me.
Anyway, the Blazers won and chalupas were had by all. There’s only one more game left before the break, and it’s against the Warriors tonight. The Warriors are horrible, and the Blazers should be able to knock them out before it’s a game. Hopefully Greg Oden does his “I’m a dominant center” impression again.
That puppy is the most amazing puppy I’ve ever seen!!!!! How could he kick it?! How?! He is evil…
And why did none of the sonics fans get up on the big screen? A desire on the part of the “Rose Garden Gods” to not be controversial? Were the fnas just not interesting/creative enough? (Maybe if they’d brought that puppy with them they would have gotten on). And why didn’t more fans come? Because it was a weekday? Because they don’t care that much? Because the sting is still too fresh? Questions, questions….
