Blazers Out to 1-0 Start

RIP CITY BABY!

After splitting their pre-season double team vs the Utah Jazz, the Portland Trail Blazers (1-0) looked solid on Monday taking down the 76ers (0-1) 107 - 104 at home; despite coach Nate McMillan's worries about their physical conditioning due to the NBA lock out.  The highlights show the team running hard in transition though, Lamarcus Aldridge led the way with 25 points and a couple of alley oops; Gerald Wallace added 21 points and 9 boards.  Hopefully this winning trend continues as the Blazers look to take down the best in the west while rising to the top of the table in the Northwest Division.  Next up for Portland, the Kings will head to the Rose Garden tonight, tip off is at 7pm.
