Great D on Gay by Batum.

 

[maxiep]

Lillard in for Freeland?

Freeland = PGOTF

 

[magnifier661]

[Darkwebs]

Nice road trip thus far. Win at NY and now Memphis

Hickson calling Speights out in a MB interview!

 

[EGame]

lol We beat the good teams and lost to a crappy one. Thats typical Blazers haha

 

[magnifier661]

Wow. I'm amazed. We beat the Knicks and Memphis on the road? Impressive.

Yeah we actually could play up to big teams

 

[Darkwebs]

Hickson calling Speights out in a MB interview!

What'd he say?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

What'd he say?

"He's a good player... but he didn't do enough to get them the win."

 

[HailBlazers]

Hickson calling Speights out in a MB interview!

Funny what he said about Zach

 

[MickZagger]

Man, I want to curb-stomp Minny tomorrow.

That's not very Christian.

What did he say? I had the Pranica Memphis feed.

"He's a good player... but he didn't do enough to get them the win."

We need our players to have that type of swag. Our players actually think they can beat anyone

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Funny what he said about Zach

"Think you can catch Zach in double-doubles?"

"If he can sit out a couple more games!"

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Totally agreed!

That Batum play was FANTASTIC. Pippen-esque.

 

[Further]

Also the block Batum had earlier in the game, I think in the 2nd that led to fast break, that was a stellar play.

 

[Further]

The best thing about this win, I like the Grizz, they played hard, the Blazers just won.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Just got home, what channel is the game on?

 

[jlprk]

I've never seen Speights play before. He's tough, what Babbitt should aspire to. Both were drafted #16.

Good game! Looks like we are playoff contenders, hovering just above .500, and will lose our draft pick.

 

[magnifier661]

Aldridge with 12 boards! I love it! So aggressive now. Hickson and Aldridge have become our rebounding duo!

 

[BlazerBeav]

That was great - we could hit much of anything from the floor in the 4th, but kept playing hard and found a way to pull out the win!

 

[Sinobas]

Wow, so on this road trip we beat 2 teams that had a combined Home record of 26-5.

Also, Blazers are now 7-2 in games decided by 4 points or less (including OT).

Heard this before.

Then we shit the bed in Toronto. Win tomorrow, and I'll start drinking some kool-aid.

And lost to Toronto. A team that lost to the Queens. The Queens suck, yet have beaten us twice.
