Oh I wish LA woulda banged that on Artest's head.

 

[DUB]

Nic did a great job on Gasol.

 

[illmatic99]

lol, they're still chanting Wallace's name.

 

[ehizzy3]

haha fuck the lakers. great game.

i wouldn't want to square up with wallace or artest lol

 

[MrJayremmie]

Fuck LA. That was a pretty nice ass whoopin' they got.

Wallace is a badass. Our starters really stepped up tonight.

 

[julius]

Wow, Kobe was a -25 for the Lakers.

Wow #2....Lakers had 21 OFFENSIVE rebounds. Portland had 7.

 

[TripTango]

Utah and L.A. back to back. You're damn right it's a great day to be a Blazer!

Chucker

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

LMA owned Artest. Batum was clutch.

Steve Blake still sucks.

Both of my footy teams lost last night, but the Trail Blazers have given me a great long weekend.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You guys are a pretty good slump buster.

Tell me more about your sig, plz.

 

[MrSelfDestruct]

Holy Hell - how many ways can you have a man-crush on Wallace? If we do any better in the playoffs this year, it's because of what Wallace brings to this team. Taking no shit from anybody - especially Cousin Balkie there!

This cracked me up! "Don't be ridiculous!" I haven't thought about that show in years.

Great game tonight, Crash is an absolute stud.

 

[mgb]

I thought LA's miss hit the rim when Nic got the rebound and was calling him back to hold the ball. Great recognition by Batum to to hoist that three.

Ya, I was yelling 'noooooooo,,,YEEEEEESSSS!!'

 

[mgb]

Excellent win! No better win than against the Lakers! Only better win will be in the playoffs against the Lakers!

Bump.

The Lakers were playing like they didn't care and it showed. I called it in the 1st Q when they were just going through the motions. Shit got real in the 4th but at that point it was too late.

In the end they just didn't care and are waiting for the playoffs.

I call bs, they were trying, it showed when Kobe hit 4 3s in a row, but we were suppose to crumble and we didn't. If they didn't care Kobe wouldn't have been back in late. Jackson at least wanted a win.

 

[RoyToy]

Jackson may have have wanted to win, maybe Kobe too, but overall imo the Lakers really didn't care. They played with no urgency until late in the 4th Q after shit was picking up. Other than that they looked like they have the past 4 games...... uninterested.

 

[THE HCP]

Great fucking win! Without Camby and what, 7 points off our bench? Nice job Nate and the boys!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Bench = shit.

As much as I enjoyed the last couple games, I also got angry. I believe that if we still had Bayless and had acquired just one player with some beef on him, that we could realistically think about winning it all this year. I'm not sure if Rudy and Patty are really NBA players.

The Bayless trade went to get Wallace. Granted - we could, in theory have shipped our own pick - but the reality is that the Cats wanted NOH's pick - and we got Wallace for it, so...

Why would they want NO pick instead of ours when NO was several games ahead of us at the time? They might have figured that we would move up on them once we got Wallace but it's hard to believe that possibility would have held up the trade. We also could have thrown in a 2nd round pick.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I'm not really even blaming Cho; he was looking ahead a couple years and felt we needed to get Bayless out so somebody else might develop as our PGOTF, plus maybe Bayless needed to be traded a couple times before he could get his game more focused. And how could Cho know Aldridge would grow so quickly into a topnotch player. He was looking further ahead as most of us were also.

 

[MrJayremmie]

I'd still take Aaron Brooks.
