Tonight I’ve come to realize something..<\/p>\n
I don’t know when it happened. Parts of tonight even slowed and moved in slow motion…<\/p>\n
The last minute of the Blazers game, screaming at the ending… so much that you can notice a change in my voice! I was jumping up and down, … it was quite a scene.<\/p>\n
You see, moments after the Suns rattled off a 3 pointer with only 30 seconds left in the game to give them a 3 point lead, we drove the lane- kicked it out for a wide open three and nailed it to tie the game.<\/p>\n
I shook my dad and got him out of his seat, my mom stood with me– high fiving me and yelling along with the crowd.<\/p>\n
The Suns went down, tried to score… but we took the ball from them, calling a timeout with about 20 seconds left in the game.<\/p>\n
We stood in amazement. The lowly Blazers, who were just one possession away from beating the #2 team in the NBA (the Suns).<\/p>\n
The arena was about to explode with excitement… heaven was certainly peering in to see what all the commotion was about. I looked at my hands— beat red.<\/p>\n
Blazers inbounded. Travis Outlaw drove the lane, and took a nice lay up. The crowd was awed into silence as he drove past the opposing players. The ball, rimmed around….<\/p>\n
The arena let a sound that I’ve not heard in a long time as the ball came out. The disappointment and letdown of this momentous moment. The Suns in bounded the ball with 1 second left, and a moment later we went into overtime.<\/p>\n
It didn’t turn the greatest, we lost in overtime. But we played a heck of a game.<\/p>\n
You could say I love my Blazers.<\/p>\n
And tonight I got an email and then it clicked for me, I realized…..<\/p>\n
They love me too.<\/p>\n
