    Yep our defensive rebounding needs to improve. And Nik, come on dude the rebounding is coming from the PF and center. Tell me the SF, SG and PGs rebounding the ball.

    If the Blazers ever left, I could see us getting another team. We have a good arena. A rabid fanbase. I would be furious though, if we lost the team.

    Yes, because unlike you I'm actually watching the game.

    Blake is finding cutters for lobs, but Miller does that even better.

    Just a thought, but how about rooting for the team instead of against a player?

    The centers aren't taking any rebounds though.

    2 between Oden and Joel. Both on offense.

    I don't blame Nate for that.

    GO has had trouble holding onto the ball tonight, and is causing crucial turnovers as a result. He seems to have terrible hands.

    Well I've seen Blake turn the ball over and shoot like shit, yet Nate has kept him in on previous games.

    IMO if we end up winning this game it'l be a bit of luck. Roy and Aldridge have hit some ridiculous shots tonight... definitely shooting better tonight than just about any other game this season.

    Oden with another turnover... that might be four or five. Needs to chill out and think before moving.

    Duh. Nobody listens to me.

    I posted last summer that Paul was obviously quite seriously ill and was throwing out the "rebuilding for a dynasty plan" for a desperate stab at winning a single title while he still can enjoy it.

    As usual around here, everyone pretended the Emperor was fully clothed. :sigh:

    That shoulda been a foul on Smith for knocking oden back. Reciprocate refs!

    Great D by Oden, nice fast break led by Miller and Blake hits a 3 (or was it a 2?)

    Nice.

    He's still getting comfortable playing in this league. This is only his 73rd game in the NBA. Be patient with him.
