Blazers and Rockets Recap

The blazers were able to get another victory on the road against one of the toughest teams in the NBA in a very high scoring style. It wasnt easy though as they had to go to overtime to figure out who would be the winner. The blazers had a tough time defending Yao and T-Mac but the Rockets had a surprise for the Blazers as Wesly also scored as many points as Yoa and T-Mac wich was 34. The Blazer rookies had really good games as you can see in the pic andrew bogut gets one of his blocks on Yao Ming. At Halftime blazers led the rockets 55-50 and these were
the players at the half. The
Player of the Game honors went to Zach Randolph once again.

Q and A with coach Nate McMillan:
Q:The team seems to be playing very good basketball and is one of the best teams in the NBA, everybody expected this team to be bad this season but the team is playing so well sharing the basketball rebounding just everything. What do you think was the main key to your succesful start of the season?
A:Well thank you and i think that the trade was a bery nig part of it and like you said the team isnt paying selfishly they are sharing the ball just working together very well.
Q:A very high scoring game today, should we expect the scores to be so high every game?
A:Well no its just that Houston was scoring a lot and we couldt stop them so we decided to outscore them instead of thrying to stop them and i guess it worked out well for us. You also gotta remember that the team played longer then usuall because of the overtime.
Q:Any trade updates for us what your planning on doing?
A:Well we want to wait until its almost trade deadline for the big trades because if the team keeps on playing so well then we would like to trade for a higher pick but for now nothing is being discussed with any teams.
Q:Well thank you for your time and hope you luck for your next game.
A:Thank you.
