MILWAUKEE – It seems as though some are waiting for the other sneaker to drop when it comes to the better-than-expected start of the 2013-14 Portland Trail Blazers. And perhaps it eventually will. But it would not be Wednesday night, as the Trail Blazers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 91-82 to extend their win streak to eight.

With the victory in front of a sparse crowd at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, the Trail Blazers have swept a road trip of at least four games for the first time since Jan. 20-26, 2003. Portland is now 10-2 on the season and have won six road games, something they didn’t accomplish last season until Jan. 4, 2013.

Scott Lynn was a very good choice for PBP

I whole heartedly agree. I felt informed the entire time. I would not be surprised if an NBA team picks him up for full time duties some day.
 
What affected the Blazers more, playing a bad Milwaukee team, or playing in front of an anemic Milwaukee crowd? Discuss.

Official Attendence: 11,789

And it sounded like maybe 1/3 of that. Didn't watch any of it, though... so I don't know that.

I only heard bits and pieces, but I thought he was excellent. If Wheels ever gets his dream job in LA, I'd be happy to have devoted Portlander Scott Lynn do the play-by-play.

Listening to the crowd over the radio it sounded like someone had turned on a giant reverb unit, even the ball echoed off the court...tough to play to an empty house with any fire.
 
I don't care who you're playing, 6-1 on the road is amazing!

Yep. The first step to being a contender is learning how to grind out wins on the road. This team is doing that. The future looks promising...
 
Scott has always been solid in whatever role he's had in this town - whether it be it the Blazers or calling the epic 1998 Civil War win on television.

As for the crowd - that arena seats 19,000. There's no way it was at half capacity, from watching on television. I'd guess no more than 8,000.
 
"the Trail Blazers have swept a road trip of at least four games for the first time since Jan. 20-26, 2003". Wow that's a long time

Sheed missed 7 straight games, including those 4. 2 of the 4, we ground out in overtime. Sheed was suspended 6 games (should have been 1 game) for yelling at Donaghy after a game. Bob Whitsitt left 3 months later. It has taken 10 years to recover from the loss of Whitsitt.
