Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers, a team that has won 11 straight games at home, take on the fiesty Warriors, of the Golden State.

Will Brandon Roy’s tender bottom prevent him from playing? Will Baron Davis cheat by using his magical beard? We’ll find out after the jump.

(Golden State) Warriors, come out to play…

Pre-Game
While "the streak" came to an end on New Year's Eve in Utah (that state is the last place in the world I'd want to be when the ball drops), the Blazers have barely noticed. Just in case you are keeping track at home, it's been 16 victories in 17 games. They are about to embark on their toughest stretch of this season, seven consecutive road games, starting Sunday in Toronto. The Blazers need to stockpile as many home wins as possible, starting tonight, if they want to remain in the first place.

Yes, the Blazers—the 3rd youngest team in NBA history—are in 1st place.
In January.
That is insane.

First Quarter:
9:23 - Eight Blazer points so far, six of which have come via slam dunks. One for the Vanilla Gorilla Joel Przybilla, one for Martell Webster and LaMarcus Aldridge, not wanting to be left out, drunked one home as well. 8-2 Blazers.

8:06 - Przybilla stuffs Baron Davis in a mighty fashion. Baron Davis is sad. 12-4 Blazers.

6:38 - Is it the fourth quarter already? Steve Blake knocks back and three-pointer and a quick jumper and Golden State is forced to take another timeout. Wow, the Blazers are looking sharp. 17-4 Portland.

3:46 - Gummo is on fire! Ten points for Steve Blake, and everything is coming up Red & Black. 24-8 Blazers. Wow.

):00 - The only thing sweeter than a 30 point quarter is holding the opponents to 14. This is crazy. 30-14 Blazers.

Second Quarter:
8:34 - Travis Outlaw is used to dishing out the epic blocked shots, but he just got it bad from Matt Barnes and his many, many, many, many, many tattoos. Yet still, it's all Portland, 33-24 Blazers.

5:45 - Well it was bound to happen, better now than later. The Warriors claw their way back, and the lead, which was once 17, is down to eight. 38-30 Portland.

4:07 - Does Steve Blake know that he is actually Steve Blake? Dude forgot that he usually only scores 7 points per game. He has doubled that and still has yet to miss a shot. 43-33 Portland.

1:15 - And that's bad. Brandon Roy is down. It doesn't look too good. I doubt we see him again tonight. Replays shows that he landed from a pass at an odd angle and then folded up completely while down on the court. 50-37 Blazers.

0:08 - Boom! Steve Blake cares not for Brandon Roy's mangled body. He just hits back-to-back threes and that is 20 points for him in the first half. 56-41 at the halfway point.

Third Quarter:
The official word from the team is that Brandon Roy has a "hyper-extended knee and may return." You heard it here first. Or on the radio. Or TV. You heard it here third.

12:00 - Brandon Roy has returned! So if you have any doubts on the debate of Brandon Roy: Human or Super Human? You now have your answer.

9:11 - Well it was bound to happen. Stephen Jackson gets his first technical of the game. He had two, and was tossed, last time these two teams met. He'll be tossed tonight as well, just a matter of when. 66-43 Blazers, biggest lead of the night.

5:44 - Good lord. The sleeping giant of Martell Webster has awoken. He now has 16 points, 8 in this quarter alone, and the Blazers are up 76-53.

3:58 - And now, after a career night, Steve Blake goes down. They better pull the starters, this team can't afford to lose him. It looks like he was (accidentally) kneed in the back of his leg by a sprinting Monta Ellis. 78-58 Bruised Blazers.

0:00 - With a dozen minutes left, a battered Blazers squad is holding tight to their 20 point lead, 84-64 Portland.

Fourth Quarter:
10:35 - Jack to Roy to Outlaw, and so goes the fast break. A couple more points and it's 88-66 PDX.

8:37 - Will Portland make this a 30 point lead? It's headed that way. 96-71 Blazers.

6:46 - Free Taco Bell Tapas for everyone! Sergio Rodridguez hits a three and it's 101-78 Portland.

5:31 - Raefists rejoice! Raef LaFrentz is coming into the game. Joining him is Taurean "T-Money" Green, who is playing for only the fifth time this year. 101-80 Blzrs.

2:53 - What's a Raefist to do? They pulled Raef before he gets in. It's all garbage time. The Blazers are coasting to 12 straight wins at home. That alone is unbelievable.
