I love the Blazers fans representing in the crowd.

 

[KingSpeed]

And how many blocks?

Plus the stats don't tell the whole story, he affects the other teams O big time!

3 blocks

Herrmann's back in.. excellent.

 

[bluefrog]

The team is looking so good now! We're coming together on defense and absolutely killing it on offense. LMA slump is officially over!

 

[BlazerFanForLife]

Oden needs to learn no soft fouls!

 

[KingSpeed]

best game of Oden's career

 

[VenomXL]

Stop shooting outside guys. They're running it back on us.

Oden was the reason Batum could rebound that.

 

[alex42083]

Herrmann for 3 is their shot down the stretch... lol. Thanks Michael Curry

 

[KingSpeed]

I want this out of Oden every game and I'll be happy.

 

[VenomXL]

Great great great win. This one should count for two wins.

 

[bluefrog]

gotta love the energy Batum brings

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

This game made my hungover day!

 

[alex42083]

This is a GREAT win.

 

[bobf]

Yeah baby!

 

[Chuck Taylor]

We're in first place!

 

[mgb]

Giant win!

 

[KingSpeed]

Stuckey should start. Iverson should come off the bench.

 

[mgb]

Just imagine if we continue to improve? Scary! At least for other teams!!

 

[Darkwebs]

My goodness, what a sweet and unexpected victory! It seems that all our talent is coming together. The ample potential that we have- some of that is being realized and out team is looking spectacular. The league should start taking notice now: the Blazers are young and dangerous!

Love to see a Sheed interview.

This is also going to be one of the few times this season our bench gets outplayed... and we still won going away.

 

[alex42083]

Batum with a season-high 31 minutes. He deserves it, the starting unit was amazing today and it was nice to see since those are our horses that will be playing the minutes 'if' we get to the playoffs

 

[illmatic99]

Best win of the season. Easily.

 

[mgb]

This also was the best game for Oden conditioning wise. He didn't seem tired at all.

 

[Tortimer]

Great game. I think we won because of LMA and Oden. Roy also played great game but Oden's rebounds and blocks were important. The one thing I really noticed with the Pistons is even when they did drive to the basket they wouldn't shoot when Oden was in the game. I don't know how many times I notice a player almost at the basket and wouldn't even attempt basket because Oden was there. So, I think Oden doesn't even have to do anything and helps us win when the team won't take the inside shot.

 

[ehizzy3]

great win, i know its still early but i am almost expecting playoffs now

 

[alex42083]

The +/- seems really telling on who won this game. Every starter around +20, every bench player around -10.

 

[alex42083]

From BlazersEdge..

No. 2 in the West!

 

[B-Roy]

Good game overall, poor game by the bench, especially Outlaw. Glad we got the win though. Nice to see LA breaking out of his slump.
