It was expected that there'd be a game or two where our bigs would get into foul trouble. When that would happen, those games would be difficult for the Blazers to win without some extraordinary performances by several other players. That's who Phoenix would be able to "get lucky" and win 2 games in this series. With Batum getting his 2nd foul four minutes into the game followed by LaMarcus being in foul trouble for most of the game, the final results were expected. But, since this is a best of seven series, the occasional game like this won't prevent the Blazers from taking this series in 6 games, as expected before the series even began. Game 3 on Thursday at home will be a Blazer Victory, with or without foul trouble from our bigs.
