Should've mentioned this earlier. @blazersblog is posting live updates from Chiles Center here: tinyurl.com/8xuby3b



Yeah, no shit!

Lots of inquiries about B. Roy's absence. I've heard he's not here because of a "family" reason. But there's been no official word.

Everybody except Wendell Maxey is there. I checked and he's taking a nap.

Wesley Matthews just came over to check my halftime box score. Saw LA had taken 21 1st half shots and joked, "Damn, pass the rock, LA."

Q3

8:21 - Chris Johnson with a pair of dunks in the quarter ... Felton to Crawford, holds, kicks to the trailing Matthews for the score ... James Harden splashes the three to tie it at 103.

12:00 - Kevin Durant starts the second half with a three …. Ray Felton answers with a three of his own … as does Durant … and it's a three-point-off … Felton with a deeeeep three … a few plays later, Alridge with the alley-oop toss to Ray Felton .... Durant adds another three-pointer ... Home Team leads 99-91.

5:06 - Harden with the breakaway, Thunder-ous dunk (see what I did there?) ... Armon Johnson comes up short on the dunk attempt ... Wesley Matthews with the pull-up three over Steve Blake ... Durant with a quick score on the other end ... Spencer Hawes finishes the break with a finger roll ... Home Team leads 113-112.

6:28 - Steve Blake goes high with the alley-oop to Durant ... Aldridge adds to his three-pointers made count ... Spencer Hawes ready to check in for Aldridge, waived off by Aldridge ... crowd approves ... Steve Blake with the pull-up three over Ray Felton ... tied at 108.

Who is RipCityClassic?

That's the name of tonight's event.

 

[jlprk]

I thought it was someone named after his father. Blake scores over Felton? Either there's no defense or Felton is truly, truly fat. Aldridge waves off Hawes? Let's see some more ego in the games that count! I hope so.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

2:15 - Back-to-back buckets for Kevin Durant ... Ray Felton with the tip-in off the offensive rebound ... Durant stripped going up ... Armon Johnson finishes the break ... Robinson's pull-up over Thomas is good ... Husky on Husky crime .... Thomas' three attempt over Robinson is short at the buzzer ... after three quarters, we're tied at 120.

Props where props due. LA has handed out four checks totaling 100k to separate charities tonight. Two for 20k and two more for 30k.

Aldridge has really taken ownership of this event. 1st half 21 shots, 27 points.

Q4

12:00 - Terrence Williams true on a couple of buckets to start the final quarter ... don't sleep on Craig Windor ... Durant crosses over Hawes, pull-up J is good ... Away Team with the 127-125 advantage.

Tied at 120 after 3 quarters. #ripcityclassic

 

[SlyPokerDog]

9:25 - Craig Windor, everybody ... his three is good ... then everyone forgets about him after a mean LaMarcus Aldridge jam ... Nate Robinson cleans up a Josh Howard miss with a weakside rebound and putback ... Aldridge with the no-look feed to Hawes, cutting baseline for the dunk ... Terrence Williams streaks in for the lay-in ... Josh Howard's bucket makes hit 140-137 in favor of the Away Team.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

6:26 - Terrence Williams wants this W ... flies in for the dunk ... Durant backs down Matthews, turns and rises, good from 8' ... Matthews right back with the step-back jumper ... Away Team leads 146-144.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

4:10 - James Harden gets the members roll on his angle three ... Felton splits two defenders, steps back and gives to Aldridge for the dunk (like to see that more often some time in the near future) ... Crawford pulls up for three, hit as he shoots ... shooting three ... (there have been something like 10 free throws in this game) ... Crawford's three free throws tie it at 151.

Twitters have gone dead, deferring to the Oregonian blog.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

2:10 - Picking up the action, Steve Blake and Jamal Crawford each with three-pointers ... Matthews called for the foul out top on Durant, he does not agree ... non-shooting foul ... neither does his pull-up three on the other end ... tied at 156.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

1:08 - Durant at the line shooting two, his team down two ... makes the second ... Away Team trails 158-157 under a minute to go ...

Coming down to the wire ... KD at the line shooting two, down 158-156 with a minute left. #ripcityclassic

 

[SlyPokerDog]

:50.9 - LaMarcus Aldridge at the line for two ... makes both ... Home Team holds the 160-157 lead ... Durant can't hit on two threes ... Aldridge misses the three from the top of the key, Jamal Crawford flies in for the one-handed putback dunk ... Home Team takes the game 164-157.

LA misses a three. But Crawford follows with rebound dunk to ice game. Home wins 164-157.

"Thanks for your support and hopefully I'll be playing soon." -- LaMarcus Aldridge

 

[jlprk]

Armon played but Babbitt wasn't there. I figured it was because Aldridge expected to get all the PF minutes. But then I noticed that Pendergraph played. 1) Why no Babbitt? 2) Pendergraph is healthy.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

wonder why Channing Frye wasn't there.

 

[jlprk]

Oops, Armon and Pendergraph and Chris Johnson weren't on Aldridge's team, so him taking all the PF minutes has nothing to do with Pendergraph getting to play but no Babbitt. Just ignore me, I'm thinking out loud.
