    Probably our toughest game of the season. We're taking on the last NBA undefeated, on the second half of a back-to-back, and must find a way to forget the heartbreaking loss last night to the Thunder.

    We let Westbrook beat us last night, CP3 is even better and can do the same. Put Batum on CP3 and let him ue his length to disrupt him. If we lose, we lose. But make someone else beat you.

    REBOUND! For the love of Pete, we need to get on the glass and put a body on somewhere. Too many times did the Thunder gain an extra critical possession because they outworked us. Okafor and West are two big bodies able to wreak havoc on the boards, so we need to get physical tonight.

    I agree, this is a tough one and in this young season, definitly the toughest. It will be a real test. I'm almost kinda gald I can't watch the games (I'll be in dream land) as I get so depressed the rest of the day that remains after a game, I even woke up depressed this morning when I saw that once again, we just fell short against the thunder (we've lost to them by combinded 3 points). Anyways, enough about my mental state. Yes, Okafur, someone who I thought hadn't lived up to expectations in his first two years (being traded isn't too flattering from my view, especially early on for a big), has started to come into his own a bit I would say (correct me if I'm wrong) but from the highlights I've seen, he is being more aggressive and consistent so far. 

    I essentially agree with your assessment Dustin.

    Go BLAZERS!!!

    Yes Nate needs to harp on Batum to go after more rebounds like he did in the first game, but it is tough when we dont have Joel or Greg and Camby had a rough night rebounding with only 6 and Lamarcus as well only getting 5 last night. Also doesn't help when people go over your back and it is not called.
    I am a fan of comcast and the blazers making deals that keep screwing us over!! woot!

    Like rudy being folded in half?  We need to force them into OUR game we keep playing the other teams pace and it doesn't work out well.  If this turns into a fast paced running bout, its over in the 3rd.

    as soon as bayless gets possession of the ball off the bench, all blazers players that are on court, should surround him in a massive quadrateam, and have whoever is in at center should rush in the middle of them pick him up, and with the remaining blazer players should run off with Jerryd taking him to the bus tying him up stuffing a gag into his mouth.
    The game should be rescheduled and their should be a piece of paper torn from a binder laying in the middle of the blazers locker room, with a sloppy handwritten note scribbled on it stating " here is your draft pick back"

    I think Buck Williams  needs to hold his own practice for all of the portland big men and show them what it means to hustle be physical and rebound the basketball. that amn was one of the best work horse players the nba has ever seen if anyone can make some men out of these younens its old man buck

    Huge waste of cash.   We''d be better off giving that money to 2 players making the veteran''s minimum.

    Henson is solid but Sanders is a better fit for this team

    Well, I still think he won''t do great in his career. Seems weak.

    You''re right. They should dump Monta though. I was thinking maybe the Rockets could use the number 1 pick to get the lakers to do a sign and trade for D12.

    Dont see how we can get a starting defensive center. I will be very impressed if Olshey can find one

  8. Is Paul Allen more Concerned about Profits then Winning a Championship?

    Paul Allen might sell the Blazers but the Blazers will never leave Rip City.
