It was a great game by the Blazers and one of the most (if not the most) impressive wins they've had this year. While Rudy's shot wasn't really there, I don't think anyone on the team had a bad game. You could tell they really wanted this one, and it's rare to see Andre show as much emotion as he did at the end of the game. There have been calls to insert Wallace into the starting line up, but as long as what the Blazers are doing is working, why fix it? Nic only played 22 minutes (which surprised me- despite Wallace's good game), but he played well. Wallace was a good match-up for LeBron, though. Miami doesn't play as a team, and if they don't rectify that, they'll continue to have problems. LeBron and DWade played great, but if the rest of the team isn't included and in the game, the Heat won't beat good teams. As it turned out, you were right in predicting the Heat would get all the press despite the fact that they lost, and that the Blazers played really well. If that helps the Blazers fly under the radar, more power to them. I think you nailed this one on the head.
