Portland

Fun game.
We struggled a bit in the 1st but ran away with it midway through the 2nd half. Three point shooting really wasn't there.
Portland is a much different team then we've seen in the past. It will be interesting to see how they play on their home court.
Few things I liked:
1) We kept our heads. Portland made a run at us a few minutes into the 2nd and rather than meltdown as in seasons past, we responded.
2) When we started to get a bit chaotic, Rose called a timeout, rallied the troops, and out of the timeout we were a different team. We went back to playing controlled ball. In seasons past, this wasn't the case. Rose would call timeouts and egos would prevail.
3) Blocked shots and steals. There were a bunch of them. Our defense in the 2nd half set the tone for the offense.
4) Childs' dunks were awesome. Great game by him.
5) Bryant is a baller. He forced some shots, but he had a great all around game. Loved watching him get shots over Portland's 7-footer.
