The Blazers battled  the Wizards at home.  Washington won the tip-off and the game began.  The first quarter ended with the Blazers leading by 12.  My favorite player this quarter was Carmelo Anthony.  He had an amazing four point play also with another three pointer.  As the first half ended one of the Blazers was better than everyone else.  My favorite player this half was Damian Lillard with 6 assists and 6 points.  The 2nd quarter was terrible for Portland, only scoring 12 points.  After the 3rd quarter Lillard was spectacular.  He had 23 points with an amazing shot from half court to take the lead for Portland.  The game ended sadly with the Washington Wizards beating the Portland Trail Blazers by 7.

        PORTLAND SHOT                         Game vs Pelicans Photo from: CBS Sports By:  Nate Smetana Yesterday the Blazers had a jaw dropping game against the Pelicans.  This was McCollom's first game after his long injury.  For McCollom to be a necessary player, the Blazers had to win by two or more points, but they didn't. I am comparing this game to another game earlier in the season against the Pelicans. After the first quarter, the Blazers were losing 34-28.  McCollom only had 8 points and Lillard had a nice 11 points only after the first quarter.  After the first half the Blazers were losing 64-50.  So far McCollom wasn’t playing too well.  My spotlight of the first half was Damian Lillard with 19 points and 5 assists.  After the 3rd quarter the Blazers were los...

                                 THE PORTLAND SHOT                       Portland Trail Blazers and Aldridge          By: Nate Smetana                              Photo from: WOAI      A lot of people think Lamarcus could make a return to Portland.  Personally,  I think he shouldn’t come to Portland unless we can trade someone for him that isn't very good. Maybe we could trade Zach Collins or Enes Kanter and a 2nd rounder for him.  I am not saying Lamarcus Aldrige is a terrible player, I am just saying he is not as valuable as the first time he was with Portland.  He is starting to become an older player and he is not as fast as he u...
