    That Roy move was, dare I say, Jordan-esque.

    Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

    You are watching the Portland Trail Blazers basketball game, right? Against the Chicago Bulls?

    Derek Rose scored twice while Bayless was in the game. Do you really intend to extend "repeatedly" to include "twice"?

    Anyone want to give their thoughts on the Bulls?

    Why does your announcer keep calling Thabo French. Even after the other announcer corrected him. :dunno:

    Why is that?

    Assists (getting the whole team involved in the offense) is what PG's do. It is their purpose in life, and what makes them so rare and valuable.

    SG's who can score are a dime a dozen.

    We have 3 on this team (Roy, Rudy and Steve) who are better than Bayless. You could add Martell to that group.

    Not to mention one of those times "on Bayless", Rose clearly got away with a clear-out on Joel.

    It frustrates me that Oden is not in the game here at the end. He is having one of his best games as a pro and he could have really finished strong.

    Grr...

    Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

    Bayless was playing PG. He was matched against Rose. He outplayed Rose while he was in the game. You claimed that Rose was making Bayless look bad.

    Your latest post is irrelevant.

    Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

    To be more accurate, he scored both times he tried against Bayless, both times leaving him standing at the 3 pt line, drawing a foul on Joel, and scoring a layup. You just can't play defense any feebler than that.

    Rudy was about to do a live dunk contest audition there.

    I agree, but you don't mess with a good thing when you are on a nice run to seal the game.

    Blake thoroughly outplayed Rose tonight. Didn't he outplay Nash as well? Blake is underrated.

    Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

    So he scored twice on Bayless, and Bayless scored three times (and a successful free throw) on Rose.

    How is that Rose outplaying Bayless again?

    Why even bother? MARIS is a master of getting people going ... I've been convinced for awhile now that he doesn't believe 10% of the stuff he throws up here.

    Leave it to message board posters to find something to argue about during what looks to be a win. :crazy:

    Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

    I'm not trying to knock Oden, and i agree, but every big man in the league has a career night against the Bulls. Nick Collison put up 21 and 9 a couple nights ago.
