Hell yeah, suck on that Calderon. Great win.
 
LMA really did a helluva job rising to the occasion after the Boston game; it was so refreshing to see guys step up with Brandon being locked down all day.

Great team win.

LMA>Bargnani
 
Steve Blake, our championship PG!! OK maybe not... but the guy deserves props for a great game. 19 points and five 3's
 
whew.....glad that is over.....get a 1/2 break before the Steelers vs Cowboys game.
 
Ok game, I suppose. I mean, I think what's really keeping us from taking that next step is a top-tier point guard. Oh well.
 
Great win, nice to see the guys bounce back after the tough Boston loss. Now we get something very unusual: a home game, holy shit
 
Props to Rudy for his big second quarter performance to help keep us in the game! And our big guys down low. Though they didn't always get the rebounds, they were able to tip the ball and help keep possessions alive, and they were tough on D.
 
I love the rebounding advantage 48 to 31 and 18 frreaking offensive boards!! and Bosh and O'Neal are no slouch rebounders.
 
Let's not forget. Oden does some things that just don't show up in the box (and he gets blocks that should, but somehow didn't, show up in the box). Plus, he should have had another 2-3 points, but the ref stole that away.
 
You know, Steve Blake is playing out of his mind this season. I know its a contract year for him, but i have to admit i really don't know if we will find a much better replacement right now.

not really a contract year, there's a team option on his contract
 
If Oden can just work on not getting stripped he will be ok. He could score another 4-6 ppg if he didn't get stripped. I think he played a pretty good game and we were better when he was in playing defense and rebounding. I noticed we didn't play Frye and I think this game is how the rotation is going to be for a while except Webster will get more minutes after he gets in shape.

38 minutes and only 2 defensive rebounds for LMA, ouch

Those six offensive boards make up for it, and if we lost the overall rebounding battle, that'd be an issue... but we outboarded them 48-31. And we're one of the best rebounding teams in the league.
 
Only 3 games left until the schedule softens and this team can catch their collective breath!

Defensive rebounding will never be his forte, especially when he's guarding perimeter oriented power forwards like Bosh and Bargnani; talk about seeing the glass half-full. LMA had 6 huge offensive rebounds which means he was being aggressive on offense.

I know, but still... you can find similar excuses for every game, but it's still amazing how a PF can get so few defensive rebounds. It was a problem against Boston and it probably will still be one in the playoffs

But, but, but....No, we need a top-tier PG. Blake is holding us back from really being a good team.

I really thought rudy kept this game alive not in just in the first half but his hustle in the 4th and getting to the long offensive rebounds. I also think Batum really stepped up on the o-boards in the 3rd kept the game close going into the 4th.

Right here.

Horrible game defensively, where our starters got schooled all morning long, Blake and Roy being the worst, IMO.

No pressure put on the guards at all, Blake rarely within 10 feet of 1.

Thanks Bob Bummer :crazy: ...Can you believe that the Blazers went 4-1...I mean 1 loss on this road trip!? UNREAL! I want a refund on my season tickets...

Can't wait to be in Utah! GO BLAZERS!!!
 
Oden is probably leading the league in bogus calls against him. He should really work on this aspect of his game ;)

Oh, yes, Maris - you are a national treasure.
 
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
 
Portland would have lost that game last year. I'm glad to see that they can pull it together from 16 down after a loss like Friday, even if they made a lot of mistakes later on. Good road trip. 15 of their first 22 on the road, 8-7 away from home. Bring it home.
 
Portland -- Where fans whining after a win happens. Some of you people are absolutely fucking priceless.
