    To a long road trip with more injuries. Now we all see what this team is made of and let me tell you I am impressed. Bayless...you have now made your mark and welcome to the big time! Oh, and Juwan...AWESOME! 3 of 4 on a trip where everyone thought we would be 0-4. And don't forget we almost pulled off the Orlando game as well. I sure home when the boyz take the floor on Christmas day that the Rose Garden gives them a 3 minute standing ovation for they deserve it. All for one and one for all baby!

    Totally agree. It isn't like other teams where one guy just has to haul the team over the mountain. You could argue that Roy was doing that for us, but tonight, with Roy out... Jerryd, Juwan, Martell, Blake, Miller and of course LaMarcus stepped it up both on offense and on defense. I am amazed we were able to go into San Antonio on the second night of a back to back and win. Let alone have it minues 6 of our 8 top scorers (from a year ago). That is a pure team effort.

    Ok, I agree Bayless has had 2 great nights in the last 5 games. The question, though, is how long can this team collectively pull this off before they start running out of gas? Also, who can we get for the injured player exemption, if we apply for another one, that can take the place of Joel and Greg while they're out? (It's not like Juwon has an S on his chest.)

    If NM is willing to convert his style of playing to a fast-break and half-court trap defense oriented team, in the meantime, then we might have a shot at maintaining this winning streak on Friday and maintaining long term...

    And certainly a little more consistency from Blake couldn't hurt things either, at least until Rudy gets back... But that's my take on things.

    Personally, I'd like to see this team win a championship without all of its guys, then comeback and win another one after that just to slam their critics, but maybe I'm just wishing for too much.

    A title without all these guys? Not even St. Nick could deliver that. Just enjoy the ride the team is putting us on. Frankly, I'd be thrilled if we just make the playoffs with all of these key contributors out for the season. There is nothing like playoff hoops!

    Damian, Roy, Batum, Lamarcus, Oden

    Thanks Ricky.   I''ll be watching @ 10.   Haven''t seen enough right hand from Shazamm.   Without the ability to take his defender either way off the bounce, let alone finish at the cup with either hand?   Second rounder at best.

    Sug81 I love Iggy but this team has numerous gaping holes throughout the depth chart so signing Iggy is not the best way to spend our limited funds

    That roster looks pretty good, but if we would have enough cash Corey or Ronnie brewer would be nice
