Unfortunately the Blazers gave this one away. A missed free throw at the end of regulation and a loss of dribble (turnover) with less than 15 seconds in overtime turned what could have been a sweet win into a bitter pill. And again, as in the loss to Cleveland, we have to ask: why didn't a double-team on a Hall of Fame player come at the end of the game? Jack on Iverson, any one player on Iverson, at that point, just doesn't work. Just as with Lebron, you have to make someone else beat you.
And for the record, I saw one player (Travis) try and post up in the second half. Why is it that this team can't play with its back to the basket?
Last year, this would have been a moral victory. No more.

gramps outlaw...fan fave. for a non-all star, i think the team relies on his miraculous 4th (and 5th) quarter attempts too often lately.
