WTF Roy?!

That was sick!

Then another dreamed up foul on Oden.
 
Roy's first free throws of the game.
 
Roy's injured. Oh crap. Hope it's not serious.
 
Just watching Roy on the sideline, there's no way they'd be stretching his hammy like that if it was a tear, or bad strain.

It's probably just cramp.
 
Nice 4th quarter.....I'll take the win!!!! GO Blazers!!!!!
 
18 for roy in the fourth quarter, you think the raptors and their fans are salty knowing they coulda had him? LOL
 
How did Oden score 16 points. Was it mostly put backs or what? I didn't get to see any of the game.

Go blazers!
 
Wow. Roy, LMA, and Oden all came up big on the same night. That is an important step forward.

Go blazers!
Combination of back-to-the-basket post moves, put-backs, and getting to the line.
 
Greg looked like he was on a mission tonight. He was hustling out there. We've seen this before and not see it carry over to the next handful of games. Let's hope this is a step in the direction of a little consistency with the effort!
 
Nate's shirt reminds me of Blueberry Yogurt...

Well, he went against a doughnut team tonight, but I love that he played with some fire and made an impact on the offensive end!

Hey, don't forget he got one vote for ROY! :) What a joke!

He needs to take what he can get at this point!

So now JOneal is a doughnut? Please. Oden looked good. Period. He showed enough tonight to show he has skills on the offensive end. Will he continue to be inconsistent on the offensive end. Yes. But you can see he has the ability to keep on improving.

BtW how come no one is complaining about his weight anymore. Has he lost some or have you whiny little bitches moved on to other things?

Yes. O' Neal is not a true center. Are you saying that he is? That said, it was nice to see Oden not get outplayed by a team he should dominate. He played very well tonight.

I'm not sure but it looks like Oden might have lost a little weight. I do know his wind is a lot better then it was earlier and if he can stay out of foul trouble he will keep improving. It seems like once Oden gets in foul trouble early he gets in a funk and doesn't play well the rest of the game.

I would say at looking at the rosters JO'neal is the 2nd or 3rd best center in the east. Sad but true.
 
I took it as a warning, that if some guys didn't start playing better defense in the next couple games, there would be changes.

It was frustrating in the first half because toronto was nailing the 3's. a couple were wide open but the rest were contended. You can't foul a jump shooter so I thought they did a good job of forcing them outside and away from the basket. Bosh was just on fire.
