    Rudy a perfect 5-5 from the field, 3-3 from 3-point range. 14 points, beautiful

    Greg Oden with his hand up running down a wide open lane and Roy doesn't give Oden the ball. I am just sick and tired of Blazers not feeding Oden when he wants the ball. Of course if Oden wasn't such a pussy he'd demand it.

    That's more like it. With Oden in, we have a nice inside-outside game. Kick it in to Greg, suck the defense in and then find the wide open player on the perimeter.

    How to defend Portland:

    -- Collapse on Roy when he drives
    -- Do not double-team on the post... Oden might travel, Aldridge will float
    -- Apply pressure on Aldridge and Outlaw on the perimeter... they will not drive and they will force jumpers
    -- Be physical

    This seems to be what Toronto is doing. Not as well as Boston did it, but the same basic approach.

    +1. That's why I'd like to see Sergio with Oden. Atleast he looks for the roller, and can throw a lob.

    That wasn't a foul on Oden. I guess they are right and the refs are mking up calls.

    There it was again. Roy missed Oden wide open in the lane.

    I never doubted the Blazers would make a comeback. Nice they didn't wait until the 4th quarter.

    Glad to see the emotion from Oden not wanting to come out of the game.

    Why would anyone want to see Sergio in there is a mystery. We got Oden and Blake and we go on a huge run.

    It's time to unleash Bayless as our backup PG.

    Taking out Oden was probably the smart thing to do. No reason to risk getting a 3rd foul in that situation.

    Given the fact that the Blazers played terrible in the first half, I'd say a 2 point halftime defecit is outstanding.
