    Considering they play 16 out of 24 games on the road, I think it is a good sign of things to come. They won't (probably) finish 7-1 over their next 8 home games, but they should win 6 out of their next 9 (or, conversely, they could lose 6 out of their next 9).

    Doesn't matter. Your statement wasn't 100% true.

    Barkley is actually a pretty smart analyst. I actually listen to what he has to say.

    I think Charles was referring the jackass or asshole comment to Quick.

    The other guy is a idiot, sure you try to improve your game during the off season, but Oden was rehabbing and this is the first time he's played in the NBA so it's a learning experience.

    Deron Williams is a stud. His defense, his offense, his decision making . . . he would make a lot of medicore teams very good.

    Tough loss . . . two in a row . . . Roy and Aldridge are good for 35+ mins a game every night, they are consitent and needed on the court . . . Blazers need one more big time player that delivers every night, then all the role payers can do their thing on any given night.

    I thought the big guy was OK tonight . . . he is still just a role player learning the ropes on this team . . . not as much as a sure thing in my mind, but I think he probably turns into the last of the big three . . . maybe Rudy, but I don't know how that would work.

    Got to win this next game . . . where would the Blazers be without Roy?

    Kirilenko was denying Brandon Roy the whole last 3 minutes also, so it was hard for him to get the ball.

    Talking about how everyone is impatient with Oden and are being way unrealistic with what they expect so soon.

    :lol:

    For those who say we can't excute, man, have you been watching this season? Hey we are 8-8 on the road! Whenever you play .500 on the road I consider you a good team. That's where I thought we'd have to really work on this season and we are already doing well on the road.

    Now for some home cooking!!

    GO BLAZERS!!

    I agree with It's GO Time. The team needs a solid 3rd threat (preferably as the SF).

    Rudy is a year away, imho, from being one.
