It's too bad Outlaw is a one trick pony. If he could ever put together an average defensive game, he would be awesome. That jumper of his is unstoppable.
The Blazers don't even put up a fight on the road. This is unacceptable in most organizations but Nate and KP seem to be cool with being blown out away from the Rose Garden.
Other than that prayer at the buzzer, the defense and rebounding was MUCH better in the second quarter. This is still a winnable game - hopefully we get off to a good start to the third quarter.
Outlaw was very good. He's the offensive shot in the arm that we needed to get back into the game. The three pointer at the end of the half was a bummer... We've got a shot, at least, which is more than it looked like it was gonna be before Outlaw did his damage. Ed O.
Kenny says if you're a contender, you cut the lead down. Well, we did that! So we must be a contender!
