    Don't know. I didn't listen today. I'm sure Brandon was his usual professional yet candid self, and Rome seems to really connect with those guys on the air.

    I agree with the sentiment, but if the Blazers had been up 20, Roy would have sat out the 4th quarter, just like he did against the Kings and would have finished with "only" 38 points.

    But, yes it was SWEET to see him score 52 in a quality win over a good team. Much more gratifying than seeing Damon go off for 54 in a loss to crappy New Orleans team that only won 18 games that season.

    Man... this upcoming back-to-back against Denver is going to be huge.

    Don't forget Blake with 10 assists and 0 TOs to Nash's 11 assists yet 6 TOs.

    That was key.

    He had a bit of an off night tonight, but he has potential.

    Phoenix Shot 57%, 67% from the 3. But Phoenix had 16 to's to just 6 for Portland.

    It takes a couple of weeks to get acclimated. The best thing to do is to fly in as late as possible. And you don't want to sleep here--the lack of oxygen makes for a fitful sleep.

    We FORCED 16 TO's, they just didn't give them up. It was some very nice defense tonight.

    Was that Mike Rice with a monster smile on his face as Brandon walked off of the floor after the interview?

    That was about the best I think the Suns can play...they were hitting from everywhere...

    and POR beat them....at home....with Roy scoring 52...just for perspective...

    but damm that was an unbelievable performance by Roy....

    and Blake deserves credit as well for keeping POR in it....

    If not there's something seriously wrong in the world...Roy has been playing at Kobe/Lebron/superstar-stratosphere level. And its not just the scoring---I was unbelievably impressed with his D tonight.

    Just got back from the game... wow that was fun. I took my shirt off and danced, and got on the jumbotron! It was awesome! I got some texts from people that said I got on TNT, can anyone verify that?

    Anyway, Roy was awesome, nay, literally unbelievable...

    No way that was you. Post a pic of yourself holding a crushed soda can or something to prove it.
