    Always nice to see in the +/- category when all the pluses are our way, and all the Clippers have negatives.

    Wheels in midseason form, complaining about two points given to Roy instead of Oden Jr.

    Shooting below 50% from the "charity" stripe is pretty terrible. These are professional basketball players we're talking about.

    Wheels isn't leaving the building until they give Greg his 2 points back!

    Pretty nice job by Oden tonight (Joel too!) going up against Kaman, one of the better centers in the league. 14 points, 13 boards, 1 assist, 1 block, and and 2 personal fouls in only 29 minutes of action. :clap:

    Alright . . . couple pre-season wins. Oden sounded great . . . he is the muscle in the middle. Roy will lead the team and Aldridge will be the steady force on both ends.

    Throw in a little Rudy flair, Joel toughness, Outlaw streakiness and Blake's steadiness . . . and I think this Blazer team is ready for the challenge of that first part of the season.

    I think you add 5 or 6 minutes another 2 assists and 1 more block to that stat line and I think that is what he will average this season.

    One thing that has really jumped out at me so far this pre-season is number of fast break points and points off of turnovers the Blazers are generating, they really seem to be capitalizing on their athleticism and feeling more comfortable with Oden and Przybilla backing them up.
