    That would make sense.

    Speaking of Frye, can anyone tell me why this guy played in the very important 2nd quarter for 8+ minutes while Oden was on the bench with 2 fouls? Like someone else said, Nate is being way too conservative about the fouling situations on our centers. I swear, how many times has he allowed Oden or Pryz to foul out this year? Maybe 2-3 times? My goodness. Why can't he just tell them "You have 5 fouls, be aggressive and don't be scared to get your 6th"? It boggles my mind. For pete's sake, put Aldridge as center, and TO as PF. Channing Frye does not deserve a single minute in these big games unless absolutely necessary.

    Perhaps because Oden was fouling on almost every play, which leads to bonus, which leads to FTs?

    You don't know that. There was a game where Oden picked up a quick 4th or 5th foul but lasted nearly the entire 4th quarter without getting another one. A paranoid Oden is better for the team than a fearless Frye any day of the week.

    Well, after Oden's first stupid foul on Hayes, it didn't exactly inspire confidence that he would stay in the game.

    Plus, he missed at least 2 easy dunks and some FTs when they mattered. Not a good game for Oden. I expect it will be his worst against this team in his career.

    Anyone see MB and Rice show some Rip City Uprise T-shirt in red or in black? I assume it's a playoff shirt, anyone know where to get them or when they'll be available? Didn't find them on the Blazers Web site.

    Ya, seen them, didn't think they were that great. They did say playoff on them so no doubt they were playoff tees.
