Let's Get Ready for Round Ball

Like really Michael Buffer. Let's get ready for Round Ball? This is 2010. Not the 1970's. Daily Recap coming at ya.

Game of the night: Portland Trailblazers 100 VS New York Knicks 95

This was easily the game of the night. Most of the games lacked excitement but this one was good all game. The Trailblazers came in to MSG and stole a win from the Knicks on their opening night. This was huge for Portland. Brandon Roy did what he usually does and put up some big numbers in the win. He worked the rookie Landry Fields most of the night for 29 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a block. Lamarcus Aldridge chipped in with 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and a blocked shot. Under-rated point guard Andre Miller had 19 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals as well.

Amar'e isn't looking like the man the Knicks need him to be. He had 18 points, 5 rebound, 3 assists and 6 turnovers. The Knicks need a double double machine that can score and dominate on the boards and right now that man is looking like Wilson Chandler. He has been coming off the bench and is showing that the Knicks should have made him their franchise player even if he didn't want to be. He came in, dropped 22 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, had 2 steals and blocked 3 shots. Right now he is looking like the early leader for the 6th man award.
