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.

Wes looks like he floated an air biscuit and is turning a bit to catch some of his scent/see if anyone noticed.

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.
Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes #Blazers Wesley Matthews says his shot felt really good in the first half but in the second half, he claims the basket kept moving. Lol
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.
