    I didn't get the Blazer feed for the game, so I didn't realize they commented on 'Dre's clapping. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed it.

    As for the second video, I sometimes wish we were douchier so we could have repaid LeBron in kind. Instead, we just leave them wounded on the side of the road. I guess revenge is a dish best served cold. But man, I hate the M'eat.

    Funny i was thinking the same thing at the time. I am guessing Dre was not happy at the end of the previous game they lost in overtime.

    I'm not sure about that. Dre was pretty excited. If you noticed, as he was dribbling the time out, he was excited and then heaved the ball up in the air at the buzzer. I've never seen him so excited, but I like it.

    I think it was just an excited Dre too. If you wacth him even before the clapping he was way into it. His threw a fist in the air and jumped when Roy hit the big 3.

    Miller knew it was a big game and big win for the Blazers . . . I think that was more emotion of the moment than payback.

    Either way, it is great to see Andre let down his guard a little and see him enjoying himself.

    If you shoot a high percentage and outrebound your opponent you will win a majority of the games you play. Look at the box score, it is virtually identical across the board. The difference being the Blazers got 3 more rebounds and 4 more turnovers out of the heat. Everything else is pretty even.

    It was good to see that Wallace and Miller have started to warm up to playing together. You could tell tonight that they are starting to be on the same page, so to speak, and the results are excellent.


    It is really interesting to watch the dynamics of this team as they adjust to each other down the stretch. I expect they may be much further along by end of season, then they are right now.

    It was a huge difference having Wallace on Lebron in the 4th. I will take a 4 point quarter out of Lebron any day. Plus on top of it, it allowed Batum to make somebody else's life hell for a change.

    Batum didn't play in the fourth.

    Yea I was meaning down the line. We are going to have some times where we are going to need stops, and we will be able to put Wallace, Batum Mathews and Camby all out on the floor at once. Lamarcus doesn't hurt either. That crew can get a stop.

    Yea I saw that it was pretty funny because he also says Lebron isn't an Alpha Dog, and he basically questions team leadership.

    Wow . . . Blazers beat the Heat and 2 sets of my Blazer tickets are bought on stubhub the next day.


    I think the city is buzzing over the Blazers . . . I wish I took off those San Antonio tickets on a Friday night. :(

    that was him jumping up & yelling with a raised fist under the basket when Wesley ripped that deep dagger three. I had a kindred spirit moment as I was doing the same thing simultaneously in my living room

    Hi Mixum. The ball is round that is why there are no impossible in that fight. What important is you stand when you lose. :D
