No Brandon Roy and we're facing the hottest team in the NBA. I don't think I can bear a third straight loss. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE my beloved Blazers, please win this game. 20-15 will depress me terribly. At least 9 of the next 10 after that will be against sub 500 competition. But I really can't bear to watch us lose tonight. But against the Pistons without Roy? Gosh, I don't know. Travis has to step up. We need his offense off the bench. Badly. Go Blazers
I think Oden's offense will need to be the key to pull it off. Keep out of foul trouble and get some cheap buckets on Kwame early.
We need anyone to bring some offense. Maybe get out and run a little bit, get some easy hoops but that may be too much to ask. Rudy's got to hit, BLAKE has got to hit something, and it'd be nice to see Nicolas continue to build off what he did in LA -- maybe another dunk in somebody's else would be nice.
With Sheed playing center for the Pistons, it will be interesting to see if Oden can stay in the game. He's not the best at covering centers who drift to the perimeter...which is Sheed's strength.
Rudy is due for a big game. All this time off should help him. Rudy is going to have his first 30 pt game tonight
Hey lets all boo Rasheed!!!!!!! That always helps our cause. Nothing like extra motivation. Yes I realize fans have the right to boo if they want. Well I think as a fan I also have the right to tell those who do.....You are MORONS for doing so. Just my opinion. And I feel the same way about my fellow Duck fans who boo the Portland natives who come back and play at Mac court. Idiots idiots idiots! Figure out that their teammates always rally around them and play harder. Just ask Kobe and the Lakers what happened after Jazz fans booed Derek Fisher his first time back. "Let Sleeping dogs Lie"
I'm going tonight, and I don't plan on booing Sheed if he plays. He's still one of my all-time favorite Blazers. I'm sure there will be a lot boos though...
