    Still ended up with the best +/- again.

    LOL, yeah, he did. In the game thread, didn't you say that +/- had to be wrong? I apologize if it wasn't you...I could be misremembering.

    I thought he played some pretty good D on Dirk. He also had that big steal in the final minute.

    That steal wasn't really a good defensive play. The game was already over.

    He had a decent game. Some good buckets. Still didn't play any defense, but hey, neither did anyone else really.

    Travis was all over the court tonight. He is adding to his offensive game, was high on the boards and actually quick on the rotational defense.

    He isn't giving Nate a reason to take him out. I love Rudy's court awareness, but what a tough call between the two at the end of the game.

    Personally I don't like both in the game with LA at the center.

    It wasn't me. I was hanging with my wife and kids during the game.

    If Outlaw can play defense and box out consistently, I love his game. Just stay consistent and put in an effort on both ends just like your mom told you to do. Your offense will always be there, just play within yourself. Incredible games the last couple nights for him.

    I like Travis and all, but he doesn't draw the double team or offensive rebound like an elite player.

    I actually was impressed by TO's defense tonight. He brought effort, which is all I can ask.

    He's not an "elite" player. But he's sure as hell our sixth man, and he comes up big for us time and time again. Is he Shane Battier on defense? No. But he can get his shot off anytime he wants over any defender in the league. Not to mention he's hardly ever been injured in his 6 yrs here. He's a sixth man, and one of the best in the league in my opinion. Blazers!

    Travis Outlaw strikes again!

    Yes, he missed a bunch of freethrows but he hit the go ahead shot when we needed it most. He is so fucking clutch.

    He also hit the first go ahead shot of the second half.

    It'll be the best thing for his career. He has a much better chance to break out somewhere else.
