Nice work, Bob! Now we need some names to go with those mugs.
 
Yay, ten over .500. Finally got that monkey off our backs.

I spent my early childhood reading books by a British children's author (Enid Blyton), so that has influenced my spelling. And yet, all my classes taught American spelling, since I was born and grew up in the US. Thus, I am always at internal conflict. But I bear up!
 
well the clips announcers could have been right....maybe we toyed with them...id like to think that....but i dont know.

btw..LOVE CLIPS ANNOUNCERS


anyhow they said... "is he ever gonna make one" referring to batum. clearly teams want him to shoot cause he cant. its really killing us. you cant have ur SF get you less then 5 points a game....and miss wide open threes. if webster isnt back soon (and it sound slike he wont be) we need a trade to stay in this race.

High light of the game fior me and there were a lot.....was Sergio's back tap to Oden for the dunk and 1. Dude has eyes in the back of his head. Of course Roy's Dunk and Rudy's three were huge momentum changers.

OMG... just saw that in the highlights on channel 8. Sergio's pass was sick! And Roy's dunk was just ridiculous, that's scary hops that Roy is busting out this season.

And Rudy's behind the back pass with the left hand was pretty nice.
 
ok...are you ready for the biggest question of the night???????????????


wait for it......




where the hell was aldridge all night???? When i did se him he played awful thorton schooled him all night!
 
Looks like we have another sergio/bayless debate.

bayless over sergio tonight
 
Oden went 7/7, generally stayed out of foul trouble and didn't get the ball that much, especially in the second half.

Sortof crazy, unless Nate is going stealth mode with Oden, to unleash him on an unsuspecting NBA.

But how can you argue with the results? ESPECIALLY in the second half? Oden was effective, efficient, and blocked/altered a ton of shots. That's EXACTLY what he was drafted to do.

That was such an insane and unexpected play, I thought the ball slipped from Sergio's hands because it couldn't possibly have been intentional.

This season has been tough because I know we need to cull the herd, but I love this roster from stem-to-stern.

I've gotta go with Rudy's three for play of the game. HUGE momentum changer, and super-stylish to boot.

What was so beautiful about it was letting the inbounds pass bounce to save that extra half second. His BBIQ is tremendous.

Third quarter results weren't so great. I'm happy with the game result, but giving Oden more touches wouldn't have made the team any less likely to win, IMO, and developing his offensive game is pretty important.

I'm not saying this was a critical error, it's just a pattern. Oden is effective and efficient enough to warrant more playing time and chances, so it surprises me Nate is so conservative with him.
 
We've got a very nice 2.5 game lead on Utah, who's No. 9. And more importantly, the Jazz have three more losses than us. This separation is nice!

Okay, I want to know which of those guys were posters on S2. I'm picking XericX as the Fabio-wannabe.

And then the air-brake stop to make Jones fly past him! Loved it. But it's true that there were several big second-half plays that really started the landslide. I don't care if it was against the Clips -- it was a great way to avenge a home loss, with a bunch of great highlights. We can pretend that the game started at halftime, just like the Blazers did. ;)

I hear you, but I remember hearing Channing talking about this on the radio last week, saying that Oden's touches were directly proportional to the pace that Nate wanted to impose on a game. Lots of drops to Greg = slower pace for the Blazers. My guess is that Nate decided to try and speed things up and push things in the second half, leading to fewer touches for Oden.

I think xericx is agentpetrovic here, and he's the guy in the first pic on the lower left with the Drazen shirt on.

Ah, you're right. DaRizzle I think is the dude in the middle of the second row.
