GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! I see your face every time I dream, on every page, every magazine. So wild and free, so far from me, you’re all I want, my fantasy. LET’S GO TO PRESS.

The Blazers drop two straight to the Phoenix Suns, and if you’d like to read about all the gory details check out Rob Simonsen’s Blazer recap!
