    Re: He dunks on KG in the clutch and then shoots down the league's hottest team...

    Prince was actually killing the bigs, not Travis. Travis only had about 1 or 2 bad plays on Prince. The problem was that we kept switching Joel, Blake or LMA on Prince. They sagged off and Prince hit jumpers.

    Nice quotes by Travis last night:

    "At the beginning of this season, we knew there was going to be a lot of commotion going on, things would get a little crazy around here ... but we always know we got each other," Outlaw said. "So that's how we manage to stick together. We're like a family.

    "As a team, that's what you have to do, that's what you have to be. That's the chemistry that wins. So that's what we're trying to build and so far everybody in here is cool."

    Re: Travis= CLUTCH

    Reminds me of Outlaw's statment from this summer: "When I jump, I'm always open."

    33 points and 7 rebounds against the Bulls. With Roy struggling, Travis stepped up and carried the team. Special props for Oden who dominated and Blake who played the PG as well as anyone can tonight. Great win. Sweep.

    That is a fantastic idea. Wonder what we could get for Outlaw after a night like this?

    Outlaw was very, very good.

    He attacked the bucket early. He hit three pointers. If he can do those two things, he's going to help the team a TON. Getting to the line and contributing on the glass made him even more impressive tonight.

    Re: Get Ready For The Big KingSpeed Travis Thread

    Probably the best game ever for Travis. I loved the running jump hook. Actually I am not sure what it was, but it looked great and would be great weapon if he could shoot it more. He played equally well from the SF as he did from the Pf spot. He played Deng very well also.

    33 points off the bench is very nice, but 33 pts. on 14 shots in 36 minutes is flat ridiculous. The blocks were timely as well. Definitely an A+ game

    Nothing but love for Trav tonight. I hope he can keep it up, because it's always better to get great production out of players you already have on your roster rather than having to go shopping in a trade.

    Re: Travis knows "you" hate him

    I like Travis, I just think that he got off to a slow start and is now rounding into shape. However, he should be able to get into this form much earlier now that he knows what to expect year in and year out. However, I definitely appreciate what he brings to the floor; along with his likability off it.

    He's my wife's fave.

    Re: Travis knows "you" hate him

    I have been back and forth for a long time about Outlaw. I love his natural ability and he seems like such a nice guy, but other times I get annoyed at stupid rookie-style mistakes he still commits. Also, he often goes in and out of games mentally which is a problem with many players in this league. Personally, I would love to keep him as a Blazer, but I realize that this team needs some things in a trade, and he is the best Blazer that I would be willing to divorce from the core, so his value would most likely be whats needed if a good trade is done by KP. But on nights like tonight, i just don't want to see him leave.
