    Game ball outside of B. Roy: Steve Blake. The guy came through, and looked like the Blake of last season. Props to him for coming through for 17 big ones!

    Really liked seeing Bayless set his teammates up for easy shots. Looks like he's more of a PG then people give him credit for.

    Roy absolutely carried the Blazers to a win tonight.

    Juwan is playing out of his mind right now. That move he made in the fourth quarter on Nene I think on the up-and-under.. wow, the guy looks like he's 26 again. Guy is moving well! Maybe he doesn't have as much mileage on him since he rarely played the past few seasons. But playing center against a frontline of Nene/KMart/Birdman, and he held his own. I can't believe it.

    Back from the Garden. It was rocking. What a game. What a player Roy is. Love this team.

    Our center position (Howard/Pendergraph) went for 6 points and 13 rebounds. Not much to look at offensively tonight, being so undersized, but dang, that rebounding is respectable against Denver.

    They did well. 6 and 13 may not look all that great, but they just didn't look too overmatched out there, especially Pendergraph. They tried intimidating him early on and knocked him around a few times, but he wouldn't have any of it. I loved it.

    Nene and Birdman also only had 9 pts/4 rebs combined, which is pretty good.

    All 4 guards make significant contributions tonight. Good to see. :cheers:

    I'm really starting to think that the 3 guard lineup is the key to Blake's resurgence. When he's in there with Roy and Bayless (or Roy and Miller), he simply gets better looks than when he's in with Webster. And he seems to do a decent job defensively in that role, too. Let's face it--despite being 170 lbs, Blake is the best small forward on the team right now.

    I was a little disappointed is wasn't "Nebulize the Nuggets", but whatever. I wanna see a sign that says "Portland isn't a seedy joint... Blaze the Nuggets!" :cheers:

    In this year's edition of the NBA, having big men was almost a detriment, the way they're calling the games.

    Everything went right for my Christmas with the exception of getting comped a Lexus Level wristband. Getting B Roy for the T Shirt exchange and then seeing him go off for 40+ was the icing on the cake.

    I'm home for the holidays and was at the game tonight. My eyes welled up with tears quite a few times I'm not gonna lie. What this team is doing right now is incredible, and there is absolutely no place in professional sports like the Rose Garden. It's a thing of beauty. Then talkin Blazers with fellow fans on the MAX ride home, so fucking awesome!! Looking at our upcoming schedule, there is a very real possibility that we could run this win streak to 8 or 10 games. Go Blazers!!
