    Good road victory against a top team. Blazers really haven't been able to say that this year.

    Very interested to see the 4 game road trip coming up. It will say a lot.

    The dude should have the ball in his hands. Period. He's a superstar point guard.

    Ernie: "were you surprised that OKC put Perkins on you?"

    Aldridge: "naw, they always try and put him on me. That would have worked 6 years ago, but I'm older, stronger and wiser. I welcome the challenge!"

    Teams are trying to bring over Sergio, that ought to be a no-brainer for Neil.

    Let's hope that this win doesn't have them lose focus. Take each game one game at a time.

    I know it goes both ways but it's crazy to think that we are basically three buzzer beaters away from being 28-4. Great win Blazers!

    I only caught the last 5 minutes and the first half. Jaynes says OKC gave us the game. Is that the overwhelming feeling here? Pretty sure we took the game judging by the last 5 minutes. We stayed aggressive throughout.

    The Spanish Armada duo could work well in a Terry Stotts 2nd unit.

    That said the defense is already shaky, and those two can't guard a chair.

    Um no, we actually took the game from OKC.

    They didn't give us the game. We stopped giving up Express Lanes to the hoop, made a couple of more shots (still WELL below average), and held them to jumpers that they missed.

    What, Jaynes misconstrue something to provoke a response? Say it ain't so!

    If anything it gets them back on track. Not that they were off!

    I've always felt this team could play D, they just don't.

    I wonder how OKC feels? We gave them their true loss at home, plus 2-0 against them this season. And OKC only lost 6 games; which means we account for 30% of their losses.

    I really saw some defensive intensity from Nic tonight. Dude was pumped up, and he was everywhere on defense. I think he made a huge difference against Durant in the second half.
