Blazers-Suns Game 2

Good evening Trail Blazer fans wherever you may be…
Here we go again. After defeating Phoenix on Sunday 105-100, the Blazers are set to face off against the Phoenix Suns tonight at 7:00pm for Game 2. The game will be on KGW 8 and NBA TV.
As with the last game, we will need all the prayers/positive thinking/good vibes that everyone can muster if we want to win this game tonight and go up 2-0, and really bloody the Suns’ nose. There’ s a big part of me that thinks we are going to do exactly that, but then I heard a depressing statistic on the radio today: the last time the Blazers went 2-0 in a Playoff series was 1989. Although, we did sweep the Mavericks that year. So that’s a positive thought.
Also on the upside, even if we lose this game tonight there is still a lot of hope. While reading a Suns fan blog this week I found out that Phoenix has lost the first game of a Playoff series eight times, and seven of those eight times they lost the series. The sole exception was in 1993, when Charles Barkley, Dan Majerle and Danny Ainge defeated the Los Angeles Lakers after going down 0-2.
