Yay a Portland Trailblazers dynasty, they are my favourite team at the moment and my favourite player is Zach Randolph (then AK47) then Sebastien Telfair (then Deron Williams, then Bogut) then Darius Miles(only because my REAL basketball style{the way i play}compares to Miles kinda...)...

Anyways, i cant wait until you play your first game...

[Telfair]

Right now I am trying to get my sliders and stuff just right, I just got the game so I haven't a whole lot of time mess around with it, but I should have a game up either tonight or tommorow.

Game 1 - Portland @ Atlanta
Saturday, October 29th, 2005

The game was hard fought on both ends of the court. Both teams played exceptionally well on defense. If it wasn't for both teams shooting over 50%, we would've probably seen a much lower scoring game. In the first half the Blazers and the Hawks kept it close and were neck and neck the whole time with the lead never exceeding four points for either team. At the end of both the first and second quarter the difference in the score was by only one point. The difference was made when the third quarter rolled around, that's when it started to go downhill for the Blazers. Coming out of the locker room, Portland immeadiately started making costly mistakes. They were taking bad shots and weren't controlling the boards like they did in the first half. Because of this, Atlanta took advantage of Portlands mistakes and started to gain momentum, ending the third quarter with a six point lead. From then on until the end of the game, Portland would not be able to take over the lead. At one point, in the fourth quarter the blazers were down fourteen points. In the end Atlanta would come out on top, 102 to 96. Overall, this game shows a lot about Portland, they are a very young team and they showed that through their mistakes. Hopefully in the next game, they can learn from this and get a win.

First Quarter: Portland 27, Atlanta 26
