This has to be said. Aldridge has really gotten into a groove since his rough start to the season. The guy is playing like an All-Star.

Also, Joel is the reason why we have done as well as we have. If we didn't have Joel, we'd have Channing Frye as our center on most nights, with Oden sitting on the bench.

God i wish we would have traded for Billups when Detroit was shopping him.

Not sure if we had enough to get it done, but they should have tired HARD anyway.

I think Billups wouild have been the perfect fit at PG for the Blazers. He would be good for another 2-3 years and Bayless could take ovcer PG after that IMO.

 

[Kaydow]

Geez, how much more can we ask from Joel
??

 

[Darkwebs]

Joel is the MVP of the game, i think.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Living by the three

 

[DUB]

Did Blake call glass?

 

[Jurassic]

Yeah we made that shot, but that was a very stupid play by Roy, he should have passed the ball much earlier. We've had a lot of success on shots at the end of the clock but its not a way to play.

 

[HOWIE]

Okay.....anyone nervious?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Przy doing a man's job tonight

 

[blue32]

Hey Shooter and PapaG, Guess whose up cheering!!!!!!
Yah thats right, it's your favorite target resident head-case greg oden!
boo ya

 

[Darkwebs]

Joel is coming up big. Making all his FTs. Wowzers. 20 rebounds, 10 pts. That's huge.

Yeah, we really need to figure out an answer to this double team. They're doubling Brandon at half court. He needs to learn to come off screens more. Have Rudy teach him a few things. Brandon is going to have to learn how to adjust his game.

 

[Tortimer]

Where the hell would the Blazers be if we didn't have Joel. I remember people wanting to trade Joel before the season started.

 

[Nikolokolus]

God damn LMA has looked good this month

 

[DUB]

Lma!

 

[Darkwebs]

Boom shakalaka. Lamarcus makes them pay.

 

[craigehlo]

LMA doesn't get a ton of boards, but he does get some timely ones.

I was guilty of that, man enough to admit it though!

He has looked great after he got out of that slump he was in. I don't think we go to him enough when he is hot sometimes.

Think how his rape-victim feels.

 

[Darkwebs]

Roy stole Travis' thunder. Chalupa thunder. LOL!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Hey, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good

 

[craigehlo]

I wanted to enjoy this win, but then realized they are playing without Melo and manhandled us last night and most of today.

This back to back is a warning sign that we need to makes changes if we want to secure a spot in the playoffs.

 

[Darkwebs]

YES!!! We got payback.

 

[blue32]

^^just barely.....

 

[BalancedMan]

Think how his rape-victim feels.

I have a hard time believing Kobe "raped" anyone. It's not like he forced her to come into his room and mess around. I'm sorry...I mean I know that lots of girls are victims, but many aren't and get to use this double standard.

I've been blacked out drunk and hooked up with a disgusting girl that I got made fun of for a long time (thanks guys in the fraternity), but can I say I was "raped"?...but yet reverse the roles and I'd be in jail.

 

[MARIS61]

Sergio with 4 assists, 3-5FG and 3-3FT, 3 steals, 1PF, 1TO.

 

[Kaydow]

Well, Brandon came up big down the stretch. That 3 that gave us the 82-80 lead was huge, then he got to the line to keep our lead cushioned.

But tonight, friggin Joel P gets the game ball.
