3 point game...not over yet.
Touche, Portland. Well done.
If Portland plays defense like this the whole series, Phoenix is in trouble. Amare was W-O-R-T-H-L-E-S-S tonight.

wow nice try. it almost worked
Walk the Mavs vs Lakers
I was being serious. I don't believe in jinxes.
Oh s Yes
wow Andre Miller sounds ghetto as
The defensive scheme on Amare was beautiful. While neither Aldridge or Camby are great individual defenders in the post, their collective length was almost impossible to combat, and the athleticism of Batum really made bounce passes difficult of pics.
Giuseppe, him a very happy. Him a stay up late toanight and watch a tape.
Duncan, him a cry, a cry, a cry in a Maryvale toanight.
Great game phoenix.. easily the best game of the playoffs so far.
That video you have is sick!
Shoulda lost that last game and taken on Denver.
Is it just me or does he have a female voice?
Jump shooting team 0

Good game Phoenix and Suns fans. I'll probably be an ass during the series, but that's just the way I am.
Trail Blazers Coach Nate McMillan: ‘We Came Here To Get The First One’
SportingNews
Nate McMillan had a tough task for Game 1 of the Blazers’ playoff series—preparing his team for the hottest team in the league without its best player, injured guard Brandon Roy. And yet Portland was able to pull off a 105-100 victory, becoming the only team to win a road game so far in these playoffs. Afterward, he talked with reporters, including Sporting News correspondent Chris Casacchia, about the keys to the game and the play of reserve guard Jerryd Bayless (18 points) and point guard Andre Miller (a game-high 31).
Q: Was it a case of you dictating the tempo?
Nate McMillan: I thought we did a good job in the second half, better control of the possessions. We started doing a better job of controlling the ball. (Steve) Nash was doing so good. Fourth quarter we started going to the basket and going to the free throw line. I thought that was the difference in the game.
Q: How important was it to get first one?
NM: We didn’t come here just to get one, we came here to get the first one. This is a tough team; they can shoot that basketball.
Q: Can you talk about the play of Jerryd Bayless?
NM: Martell (Webster), (Juwan) Howard and Bayless gave us something. Bayless had a good rhythm, getting to the free throw line.
Q: Can you describe Andre Miller’s game?
NM: He plays great. It was good basketball ball game for him. Without Brandon (Roy) we’re going through Andre and LaMarcus (Aldridge).
Q: Describe your emotions at the end of the game, with the team missing free throws and the missed dunk by Marcus Camby?
NM: We try to stay calm. You try to remain calm for those guys.
Q: Talk about Camby and the job he did?
NM: Amare (Stoudemire) is the toughest in the post. I thought Camby made him work. I think he didn’t give him anything easy.
I'll agree, I can only describe it as a swarming zone from what I saw. I missed the second half fortunately. Gentry and friends better figure out something quick against an vastly undermanned team. Frankly I'd have rather had the Jazz with Okur. Now they have to get one in the Rose garden, yuck.
On the plus side, my vbookie bet that Amare won't score 25.2+ is lookin good.
true.....true.Good game Phoenix and Suns fans. I'll probably be an ass during the series, but that's just the way I am.
I don't know why people continue to underrate Camby's defense. The guy is a serious defender and his presence on this Portland team is the difference. I've been watching the Blazers for years and they have never had toughness like they have now.
I wish the Spurs had Camby.
That would have changed the complexity of your line-up...in a good way. Man, that would have been a great pick up for you guys.
Portland is still tough without Roy. I guess there were signs of that when they won against the Zombie Sonics, Lakers and Suns without Roy in the Regular Season.
