Portland 94, Sacramento 90 In Overtime

Wow, we sorta miss Marcus Camby huh?  Geez this game tonight with ugggggg-ly.  The whole game I was thinking, 'oh the Blazers will put it together at some point and pull away from them.'  But that never really happened.  Blazers were down seven points late in the game, and almost let it slip away from them. 

Cunningham would have punked poor Casspi
Despite the sloppy play throughout the game, the Blazers did win with a total team effort.  Aldridge started slow, but ended up with a respectable 23 points and 9 rebounds.  Batum scored a season-high 24 points.  And Andre Miller contributed 20 points of his own, and a couple key shots down the stretch.

I was very disappointed that DeMarcus Cousins and Joel Przybilla didn't come to blows at some point during the game.  Things between them a couple different times seemed primed for a good suckerpunch or two, which would have been pretty awesome. 

And what was up with Omri Casspi running his face into Dante Cunningham's elbow and then getting up in Dante's face about it.  What the hell dude?  Hey Omri, check the replay.  You ran into his elbow with your face, you idiot.  Casspi's acting job did get the offensive foul called on Cunningham, which was cheap.
