    This was closer than I expected. If not for that half court shot and then Camby going down, it might've been a W
    I'm proud that our guys played well and played hard, especially on D

    Wallace not playing most of the 4th was a total fail

    Roy playing the entire 4th was a total fail

    Matthews played great D on K*be, and was benched in the 4th = total fail

    Portland being relegated to a jump shooting team when Roy plays equals total fail

    Losing Camby down the stretch hurt, but the L*kers had started their comeback before then

    That was pathetic defense by Rudy.

    Tired legs couldn't get the job done. Oh well.

    That was great D by Roy on Kobe but Kobe hit it anyways. It happens.

    Wasn't expecting a win because it was a b2b so I'm just happy it was a good game.

    I believe Marcus went down when we still had a 4 point lead, but I do agree about Matthews. He should have had more than 19 minutes.

    Yeah, Rudy played too much when it should have been Matthews. Oh well.

    He had more than one air ball tonight; I wonder if that had anything to do with him not being in the game in the 4th.

    The Rose Garden crowd do cheer when the Blazers are down, to try to pick them up and get 'em going.

    Is 3/12 in 25 minutes better than 0/4 in 19? I dunno, but I do know that I would have preferred to see Wesley get more time to save Roy's legs and get a more mobile defender in there.

    I know -- it also makes me wonder if there was something else wrong with him tonight, behind the scenes...

    I wanted Wes to take Rudy's spot, who was absolute garbage tonight.

    I guess the thing to take from this is that the Blazers played like total shit, and still almost won.

    Roy played the last 15 minutes against Dallas and we won. You can't ignore that and say FAIL now because we lost to the champs at home.

    Matthews couldn't hit the broadside of the barn and we needed shooters to take the pressure off of Aldridge.

    We weren't relegated to a jumpshooting team at all. Most of our miscues and failed possessions in the 4th were when Rudy, Batum, and Wallace were attacking the basket.

    Not having Camby wasn't the reason we lost but it does serve as a distraction in the team's heads to see one of their own go down like that in a close game on the road.

    Your entire post = FAIL

    You not contributing until we lost = FAIL

    End of the day it was a b2b and the Lakers didn't play well at all. Blazers were lucky to even be in this thing.

    And don't look now but Andre has been terrible as of late

    The Blazers look tired tonight. Other than Batum no one played well. Flying from Portland to LA, back to Portland, (Playing a game) then flying back to LA caught up with Miller. He looked out of it. Lots of unforced errors.

    What are you TALKING about?? Wesley's shots weren't even close to going in! At least Rudy found a way to produce something! 10 points 5 rebounds 3 assists.
