[VenomXL]

Almost game time!

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Odens back!!!

 

[THE HCP]

Heard some rumblings that Prince was about to be traded around 6PM. He's out there now, so it obviously didn't go down. Wonder if it's going to happen soon?

link?

 

[Nhawz]

anyone have a link

 

[VenomXL]

Great start offensively.

 

[BGrantFan]

Good start to the game.

 

[MickZagger]

Nic Batum with a beautiful trey from distance.

 

[MARIS61]

Link?

 

[Hey]

Fools gold. Just a bunch of lucky jumpers

 

[MickZagger]

Prince is all they got going for them right now.

Watching the game on TV tonight.

Ptd looks good early . . . focused and shots going in

Strange seeing Batum stand next to Prince. We talk about how similar they (body type) are and standing next to each other it's truee . . . only Nic looks like a slightly bigger version of Prince

Ruidy quickly in for Roy . . . who was playing well

 

[MickZagger]

Nice transition!

 

[BGrantFan]

Two fast break baskets in a row!

Probably getting Roy the rest he asked for, and hopefully we'll see more of this in the first half. The only odd thing is that it was Rudy and not Matthews who was first off of the bench for Roy.

Roy out after 7 mins.

Rudy in and not Matthews. Interesting...

 

[BGrantFan]

Get back on defense.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Nic being aggessive and looking for his shot

 

[bemac]

Roy out after 7 mins.

Nate statement to Roy? I got the vibe he was not happy with Roy's comments, and it almost feels like a little statement tonight. Nate is old school, and all stars did not whine about playing too much back in his day.

 

[illmatic99]

Rudy playing fantastic ball.

I don't think Nate has the balls to go after Roy like that.

 

[VenomXL]

It's easy to get Roy some rest when Rudy is playing like this.

No question but what the Blazers have corrected all the problems from last night and are now going to the Finals. Took them forever to get it turned around, but all's well that ends well.

Just needed more Rudy, less Roy.

 

[B-Roy]

Cunningham is terrible...

 

[BGrantFan]

Armon is going to be a player. Great pick.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

McGrady is a shell of a shell of a shell of his former self.

 

[VenomXL]

We've cooled WAY off. The lead is evaporating.

 

[BGrantFan]

Cunningham is terrible...

Based on what? He's a bench player with a 14 PER. He's pretty much average for a bench player, and above average for an 11th/12th man once Przy and Oden are back.
