    This one feels good.

    Props to JB, Travis, and Joel.

    The bnech has 52.

    How do you prepare for Travis Outlaw? He is a loose cannon (in a good way). Normally you want to kill the clock but he can basically become unstoppable at a moment's notice.

    What a win!

    Bayless was the turning force for us!

    Travis finished them off!

    bayless and outlaw completely took over in the 4th and rudy did a lot to help as well.

    and for as bad as roy played, i was impressed with him in the 4th. he couldn't get anything to fall so he didn't force anything. just came down and directed the offense to bayless and outlaw and kept the ball moving other than one possession.

    Unless you've only seen this game and the NJ game, there's doubt he should play at all.

    But he'll get better obviously, and eventually start somewhere at the SG.

    Roy needs to watch his back long term, because they are the same player, same position, same assets, same weaknesses.

    Great win!

    Our players showed they have a million times more guts and determination than all the Eeyore's that post here.

    I gave up hope, but never turned off the game..b/c you never know what can happen, but I didn't want to get my hopes crushed so I assumed a loss and gladly took anything positive!

    Bayless and Travis saved our asses here. Does that mean they should start? No. It means they're excellent insurance for when our star player is sucking. Bayless = Vinnie Johnson, and that's a GOOD thing.

    Tell you who should be starting: Rudy. He was actually doing a good job on Chris Paul and because he can score, was forcing Paul to have to play on defense.

    (Rudy was also amazing on the boards. Even the sucky N'Awlins announcers noticed that he was everywhere tipping rebounds.)

    This game shows how godly Chris Paul is. The Hornets were on the verge of blowing us out, but then Paul gets injured, leaves the game, and we win. Of course I need to applaud our guys for taking advantage of the opportunity to win and having the grit and determination to come back from 20 in about 12 minutes worth of time.

    They didn't give up and kept chipping away with the help of Bayless and Outlaw. What a gutsy win. I love these Blazers!

    I turned the radio on in the car after work when they were down one. Didn't think it was a big deal until I saw the score after 3 quarters. Amazing win. Huge for the Blazers. Did Paul get hurt?

    For everyone who is trashing Roy, you have to keep in mind that if he isn't on the floor, the defense can focus elsewhere. He is still a threat and the Hornets still have to respect him. Without Roy, we might not have seen Bayless or Outlaw do so well.
