    Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

    Sweet win. A win by double digits on the road is quality no matter who it comes against.

    And to do it with Roy, Aldridge and Fernandez having poor games is promising. Other players showed great things...Outlaw, Oden and Bayless. And Blake.

    No way he has a ton more talent then Jack and I always liked Blake except for his TO's at a bad time in the game.

    Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

    Thanks, that's pretty much my assessment too, although I'm not yet willing to give up on Deng. I think Vinnie Del Negro couldn't find his ass with both hands and has constructed as "system" (I use that term loosely because it's such a disorganized mess) that is dreadful for a player who gets his points out of the system. Which Deng is.

    Deng and Gordon played like you described under skiles.

    And I've never seen a team that looked more confused defensively than this year's Bulls.

    But yeah, good win.

    I sure hope Rudy is going to be ok. We are going to need him on this road trip. I can't believe we won so easy with Both LMA and Roy have off games.

    Great win tonight. Looked pretty bad at the start, but we got it going in the later stages of the game. Oden was phenomonal in the first half, keeping us in the game. Then Travis took over the 2nd half. Bayless had a nice stint, too.

    That was a really good game by Travis. He only made one mistake on offense which I could recall which is out of this world for him.

    MIXUMS got 3 BIG POSITIVES and a "lets hope"!

    1. Outlaw might have played his best game as a Blazer. Wow. Cant say much more on a night where we would have lost of it wasnt for his big shots considering Aldridge might have played his worst game since November.
    Hopefully hes figured things out after 6 years...but i doubt it,

    2. Oden looked like a first round pick tonight. However i dont know why he didnt play in the 4th much? Maybe let him rest?

    3. Bayless played very well. Hes a little too agressive at times but i will take him anyday of the week over sergio. Like i said, we cant trade sergio fast enough and from the look of his face on thebench...i think sergios days are numbered and hes knows it. He stinks. Bayless looked pretty good though. Thats the guy i saw last summer.

    lets hope rudys ok. i knew that fall didnt look good.

    if anyone seriously believes bayless is better then rose....get your head examined.

    with that said.....

    if anyone thinks sergio should play over bayless.....see above statement. bayless is already better.

    sergio is never gonna make it on this team. its over. thanks for coming...good night.

    that depends on who is available, but the consensus core guys here in our irrelevant chats who seem unlikely to be moved are (in no particular order) Rudy Oden LA Roy Bayless and Batum

    They definitely had their moments. Stacy King, though, uses the same phrase over and over (I can't recall what it was... maybe "in fact"? Something like that) and kept referring to Outlaw as Charles.
