The Blazers got blown out again, which makes Thursday nights game their last chance to stay in the playoffs.
As usual, Blazers Edge has a funny way of looking at. This time they’re comparing the Blazers offense to the beautiful Jennifer Connelly (hands down one of the most attractive women in Hollywood). But, while the Blazers may have started out with promise, they weren’t able to follow Connelly’s lead and get hotter as time went on.
For the first six minutes of this game the Blazers’ offense was like
Jennifer Connelly circa 1986. Remember the first time you saw her in
Labyrinth? Ooh-la-la! So young…so fresh and full of promise…so
totally hot.…
Sadly while Ms. Connelly would blossom into full, drool-inducing flower
in such movies as Dark City and Mulholland Falls the Blazers’ offense
proved less enduring. Despite the hefty lead anyone watching had to be
nervous seeing the Blazers rely on Andre Miller jumpers backed mostly
by LaMarcus Aldridge jumpers. Sure enough, as the 6:00 mark of the
first period passed the Jennifer Connelly offense blew the Blazers and
their fans a good-bye kiss, promptly replaced by Chumlee in a bikini.
Content to drift on the perimeter Portland missed 7 of their last 9
shots, adding 3 turnovers to the mix.
