    When did Raja Bell win 6th Man of the Year?

    Look who's coming around on Oden.

    edit - in the span of a week or two

    Oden's coming around. So I'm coming around. See how that works? During games, the fans cheer when the team makes a basket. Have you ever heard the crowd cheer when the team misses a basket? No, you react to what you see.

    Nate4Prez, I think you're confusing Bell with Barbosa.

    I guess he's reversed his stance of 'I've given up on Oden'.

    So you're basically saying if Oden has another 8pts,3reb game you'll call him underwhelming again, since you react to what you see.

    It doesn't work that way with developing players. You have to think big picture and not overreact.

    Both teams played hard, if a bit sloppy at times.

    Nice victory tonight by the Blazers. Still 5th seed in the West. We're now one full game ahead of the Rockets. Wow, wouldn't have expected this from the beginning of the season.

    Yet there are still a good number of people griping that we suck, won't make the playoffs, going to be picking in the lottery, yadda yadda yadda.

    It's possible. One bad week can really screw up a team's standings.

    Understood - but when you look at the big picture of where this YOUNG team is at this point then I'd say more praise is due versus the amount of grief they get win or lose on this forum.

    I don't know what kind of hallucinogens the refs popped before the game but they was trippin.

    Good to see Oden have a good all-around game against a good center like Okafur. Aldridge was a beast. Roy coasted tonight, deferring to the big guys, but we saw twice in the fourth he could turn it on if we needed it.

    Outside of Bayless' first quarter, neither Sergio or Bayless really impressed me at running an offense or handling the pressure. Charlottes a good defensive team though so I've got to give them alot of the credit.

    Well, we also had a similar record last year and fell off.

    Yep. It was Barbosa. Bell has never won the award.

    glad we won, but pretty boring to watch the total coast job in the
    second half - running the clock down on every possession.

    Similar, yes, but we're two games ahead of last year's pace! We were 26-19 last season.

    Key word is similar.

    My point is just that anything can happen.

    And we have an easier schedule the rest of the way as compared to last year. I would say our chances of making the playoffs this year are high.
