    Nope. You're a whiner. Deal with it.

    Who gives a shit what Charles Barkley says, he gets paid to say colorful stuff and make observations. Reality probably lies somewhere in the middle of those two statements.

    Roy and LMA need to step up if we are going to make it a little clsoer game. Nobody played all that good except maybe Rudy but Roy and LMA especially need to step up.

    Let's also remember the Blazers are playing arguably the best team in the NBA. They should be losing this game. That doesn't excuse the horrible, horriblep lay, but I certainly didn't expect them to win tonight.

    If nothing else, Rudy could do some stuff to take the crowd out of the game.

    Roy and Oden are 0-10 and we're only down 15? In my mind that's pretty good.

    He's a scorer. Making 4 of 7 shots--whether they're dunks or tough jumpers--is a good showing on the offensive end.

    He wasn't GREAT, but he wasn't the problem with our first half.

    I'm not pretending. Him and Rudy are why Portland isn't down 40. That's good enough for me.

    Please tell me why it's ridiculous. Calling it an agenda does nothing to refute it. Say something intelligent, and ignore my posts. They're not for name-callers, anyway.

    Refute it or ignore it...your choice.

    This game is attainable..we need to cut into the lead..have it down to at least 10 at the end of 3

    I agree. I normally actually like to listen Barclay because he is usually really funny. I knew I wouldn't want to hear what he had to say about the Blazers but come on he is just contradicting what he said just a couple months ago.

    Hey, on the bright side, Oden and Bynum's stat lines are almost the same!

    That laker team is scary. If they play defense like that all season, combined with the offense they already had . . . they are the team to beat.

    The Blazers are just being schooled right now. Where the hell is Aldridge . . . shouldn't he be taking it to Gasol? And why all the Travis bashing, he's having a decent game and many are having bad games.

    And then there is Oden . . . not the best start to his career . . . and you really can't say it's because of Bynum. ODen looks tenative right now.

    Anyways, Blazers are somehow still in the game and a run puts them right back in it. If not, good learning experience to a team they aren't suppose to beat . . . looks like a bumpy ride ahead this year, buckle your seatbelts.

    Oden looking like shit so far..
    Rudy looking better than Roy also..



    I don't even see the Blazers making the playoffs.. they remind me of the bulls from 06

    Wow. I guess I'm in the super-minority of people who aren't on the nuts of whoever puts the ball in the hole. Raef for Ben Gordon, everyone!

    I'm not an Outlaw fan but without he and Rudy, the Blazers are absolutely buried, not just mostly buried. Outlaw is doing well.

    Gramps...

    Another nitpick: Nate saying he didn't like the pace of the first quarter. Saying we had to slow down.

    Did I mention we had 14 points in the first quarter?

    Settle down? Sure. Slow down? Uh... no.

    That's one good thing but people won't say anything about Bynum having a terrible game and I can understand why.

    Everyone on the team has just been missing shots they usually make, that's all. Roy missed a wide open layup, pretty bad. Oden missed some easy shots as well.

    This is not the same Blazers team we'll see on Friday night. Just remember that.
