Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers welcome the Milwaukee Bucks. As is customary around these parts, here is a list of Blazers players that will not be playing tonight: Marcus Camby, Joel Przybilla, and Brandon Roy (plus all those others you already know about). Once again that means Portland does not have a center, which wasn't an issue against the feeble Golden State Warriors on Saturday, but will be against Milwaukee's lumbering big man, Andrew Bogut. Unless you count Sean Marks, which of course no one does.
Since I keep seeing them in the crowd, a little bit on the infamous Three Goggles T-shirt. They work! Rudy Fernandez had been shooting a dreadful 32.7% from three point territory, but since those shirts were made in his honor late last week he's been hitting 46% from beyond the arc.
Tonight marks the final—at least, for now—game that Brandon Roy sits out to rest his bum knee. So far this season the Blazers are 4-1 with Roy on the bench and 10-13 when he's on the court.
