Dec 7 AT Toronto

Roy time!!!!

 

[Drink Your Milkshake]

There it was again. Roy missed Oden wide open in the lane.

 

[alex42083]

yeah, nice shot Roy!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Oden out with a minute to go...

 

[BBert]

I never doubted the Blazers would make a comeback. Nice they didn't wait until the 4th quarter.

 

[Drink Your Milkshake]

Glad to see the emotion from Oden not wanting to come out of the game.

 

[HOWIE]

48-50.....I'll take it!

 

[andalusian]

Why would anyone want to see Sergio in there is a mystery. We got Oden and Blake and we go on a huge run.

It's time to unleash Bayless as our backup PG.

 

[Drink Your Milkshake]

Taking out Oden was probably the smart thing to do. No reason to risk getting a 3rd foul in that situation.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Given the fact that the Blazers played terrible in the first half, I'd say a 2 point halftime defecit is outstanding.

 

[Tortimer]

Could have been a lot worse. I do think Oden is the main reason with his defense.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

48-50.....I'll take it!

No kidding! A fighting chance at the half is a fucking relief after that nightmare of a first quarter.

 

[alex42083]

I'm thinking Tony Luftman is the biggest nerd on TV...

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

How does Oden only have one block? Coulda sworn I saw 3-4?? Maybe I'm watching another game?

Either way, Oden's presence on both sides of the ball seems to be having an impact (beyond requiring Bosh to get some stitches).

He has at least one that wasn't credited, but I really don't care what shows up in his blocks column, his defense and ability to alter shots should hopefully show up in the one column that counts -- the win column.

This is the first game in a while that Oden has clearly outplayed Joel. Przybilla seemed a bit tired... and he got posted up by Joey Graham!?!

Rudy and Blake and Oden were all pretty darn good in the first half. Good to see Martell (and that he drew a foul on a drive... something we rarely have got from our small forwards this year).

Portland has to continue improving their interior play and it'll be a Blazers win...

Ed O.

 

[alex42083]

Not a good start to the second half for LaMarcus.

 

[Nate4Prez]

Blake!

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Got the lead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[alex42083]

Good job Blake! Hearing the footsteps of Bayless, and comes out with 4 threes

 

[Nate4Prez]

La43!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Not a good start to the second half for LaMarcus.

Yeah get him out!

 

[Nikolokolus]

wow an honest to god 3 on 1 fast break!!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

The sun shines even on a dog's ass sometimes.

 

[alex42083]

Yeah get him out!

Yeah, I got owned there. But I wrote it when he had the offensive foul, fouled on the other end, and missed a shot.

 

[Darkwebs]

Yes, we're starting to do a better job of playing D. Now we have a 6 pt lead. Sweet.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I know. I was going to make a joke post saying something like "Uh oh, LA's got two quick ones better get him... oh, 7 points in two minutes? Never mind". But you gave me an easier lob.

Go Blazers!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Blake to Roy! The American Connection!

Augh then a three to cool me off.

 

[Darkwebs]

Awesome! Alley oop between Blake and Roy.

 

[alex42083]

Wow... alley oop to Roy!!
That was a Rudy play
