10.) Early in the 2nd quarter, Qyntel Woods makes a remark about Cuttino Mobley, Cat swings at Woods, and predictably misses by 2 feet. 9.) When Damon Stoudamire is introduced, the Toyota Center puts up a picture of David Aldridge instead, and the crowd's boos turn into laughter. 8.) Rasheed Wallace kicks a basketball into the front row and does a Martin Grammatica dance at the end of the half, the refs are stunned and issue a double triple technical foul, which turns out to mean nothing since the Rockets miss all 6 free throws. 7.) The NBA allows Portland to include arrests as a recordable stat on their box scores. Portland finishes the game with 91 points, 42 rebounds, and 68 indictments. 6.) Rasheed Wallace hits a three pointer and then smacks Clutch The Bear in the Face Repeatedly, Clutch takes off his suit to reveal his true identity.... Eddie Griffin. EG holds up a Tinkerbell-shaped Bong, and Rasheed reluctantly gives him 500 dollars and sulks as Mo Cheeks benches him. 5.) Damon Stoudamire fires a no look pass to Dale Davis and then runs into the stands to purchase 7 pretzels and 19 hot dogs with nothing but mustard. Yao Ming is heard to remark "So thats why they are called Blazers" 4.) Moochie Norris burries a 3 pointer at the end of the 3rd Quarter to tie the score at 69. Rasheed Wallace points to the scoreboard and laughs for 14 straight minutes. 3.) Steve Francis goes after Qyntel Woods, but Woods pounds him flat. Seeing that Steve is defenseless, JVG orders him to stop trying to do it all himself and get his teammates involved, Scott Padgett hurls a basketball at Woods from 24 feet away and knocks him out cold. 2.) Patrick Ewing tells a Reporter he has been working with Yao, teaching him a lot of the things an NBA center has to do... Yao is later seen leaving a Strip Club with Domanick Davis and Jeff kent. 1.) The Blazers call timeout and trade Rasheed Wallace to Yakima Sky Kings for a bag of peanuts, Fred Carter says the bag of peanuts will have an immediate impact on the Blazers and turn them into a title contender.
OK. I don't get the Domanick Davis and Jeff Kent part of this. Someone please explain. I do get the Patrick and strip club reference. Apparently, I've been living with my head in a hole.
10) Cynthia Cooper studders atleast 10 times before tip-out 9) Ch.51 will lose it's reception at one point or another 8) Calvin says goodness gracious before the 5 minute mark in the first quater 7) Mobley dribbles in between two defenders 6) Steve gets trapped on the sidelines and has to call time-out 5) Moochie shoots an air ball 4) Cato forgets to raise his hands 3) Yao won't dunk 2) JVG will look unhappy 1) The Rockets play another great team game as 5 players reach double figures in rout to beating the Portland Trail Blazers 108-101 in front of a sold-out crowd at the TC.
