BLAZERS @ BOBCATS - GAME THREAD

Gritty road win. Ugly, but another W. This is what good teams do.

According to some here, the Blazers are far from good.

Props to Nate for not using his crutch Blake in the fourth quarter.

But I hate his handling of GO and foul trouble.

Oden fouled out. What do you think would have happen if Oden had played in the first half after he got two fouls?

In the third quarter, Oden had 3 fouls midway through when we had a 16 point lead. If Nate would have left him in there at that time, it's possible that GO could have pushed the lead to 20+ and prevented an inspired comeback by Charlotte.

Nate is babying Greg, and there's no need to.

Haha I know, I'm just happy to win ballgames, especially on the road.

Or he could have got another foul and not been there later when we needed him. Easy to say might ofs. As it was he fouled out even though Nate pulled as he did.

I thought Nate handled Oden very well tonight. Oden just has to stay out of foul trouble. It didn't help that players got into the lane so easy in the 4th, which resulted in 2 of Oden's fouls.

I was at the game - no doubt about it - a very UGLY win.

I had no idea Outlaw was injured - they did not announce it. When he didn't play in the 2nd half, I thought he pissed off Nate when he threw the ball out of bounds during a mis-communication with Roy.

Regardless, the Blazers better hit their shots against Atlanta. Only Roy and Miller were consistent tonight. Still, a long road trip like this can really take it's toll.

I was surprised at running into some Blazer fans at the arena. The Blazers are definitely gaining plenty of fans all over the place.

Monday's game should be very exciting.
