Alright my friends, I’ve finally become a “Survivor” of the force of nature known as The Quake. Although the basketball game itself was one of the worse I’ve seen in a long, long time Blake did not disappoint with 4 dunks and 1 hops inflicted injury when he hit his head on the backboard going up for an alley-oop late in the game.

On a night when my beloved Timberwolves were just plain awful, the crowd showed the most life when Blake was throwing it down. It’s hard to even describe the anticipation I had when he finally had a clean chance at an alley-oop on a fastbreak and Bledsoe finally threw it to him. I found myself cursing out Blake’s teammates on more than one occasion when he was calling for the alley-oop pass and they either took a shot or hesitated to long. (I’m looking at you Ryan Gomes!) All in all though it was a great game to attend and I am looking forward to many more opportunities to see Blake in person down the road.
