    Where's all the hate on Sergio's defense now? Look at the kid, he's REALLY stepped up his defensive game. Give him props!

    If the Blazers somehow pull this out of their collective ass, then they need to thank Santa for the early Christmas gift

    Sadly, the hoops IQ goes up when we don't have any of our SFs on the floor.

    Smart move by Roy. I saw him take one quick step to his right, forcing the running Smith to collide right into him for the foul and freethrows. It is officially Roy time. He has made 3 great plays for us in a row.

    Not tonight. The last few minutes.

    We've lulled the Nuggs into not expecting any PG drives with Blake the entire game.

    This is the correct answer. The solve to Portland's SF problem is on the bench right now in street clothes.

    Oden does seem to come through with key rebounds when it matter though, and he is averaging about as many rebounds as Horford already, so disregard my previous comments.

    Sheeh. We are defending like we haven't seen any of their moves before. Like yesterday never happened.

    The replay showed it was actually Rudy who got blown by. But Sergio sucks at D too.

    It is about time we went to LMA at the end of a game.

    Like he did to Roy, and to Blake also?

    Billups is an Allstar for good reason.

    I like that we are taking it to the hoop much more this quarter. As a result, we're getting to the charity stripe with regularity. We might actually win this.

    Yeah, it was Rudy.... And Sergio's D isn't as bad as everyone is saying....I'd have to say he's doing better than expected tonight....
