    We're not even competing. I actually bought plane tickets to Cleveland to see them play the Cavs next week. Waste of money. Outlaw was soooo valuable to this team.

    They are missing Aldridge, not Outlaw.

    If he doesn't score, it's meaningless in terms of trying to win the game.

    I wonder if there actually is any chance of Nate getting fired this year.

    Alright Debbie Downer, you've woven your special magical robe. Now go flutter away to bring down another crew of fans...

    God I am so glad you are not on the suicide hotline....

    Howard is more than making up for Aldridge's production.

    Exactly my point. It's not like Oden is bricking dunking attempts or baby hooks out of set plays. He's crashing the boards and hustling after the ball to keep possessions alive ... it's just tough to put it in when he's getting mugged more than a Central Park hooker.

    If getting rid of Miller would get Roy to pass to Oden and be his old self I would say Andre better be packed on December 15th. If Miller goes and Roy still is...off...I'm gonna be worried. Roy needs to pass to Oden more it's driving me nuts. Right now the chemistry of this team is just plain awful. It seems like Oden is the only guy who is bringing it night in and night out with maybe one or two exceptions. Przybilla, Blake and Roy are all playing much worse then last year. Webster is his old flash in the pan self and Miller looks like Nate has broken him. Oden's emergence makes me joyful, but MAN is this team in disarray.

    What would Outlaw have done tonight that Howard and Cunningham haven't? Unless you're talking about general malaise of the team?

    EDIT: Besides miss a breakaway dunk

    At $4 a game I'll survive on bootleg streams or just not watch.

    This team isn't worth anywhere close to $4 a game, to me anyway.

    Hopefully they'll make the effort to improve, but it's hard to recover from bad personnel moves.

    I'd like to point out that the ref's have not called a foul on Oden since Nate got a T. Had he been doing this the whole year, as he should have been, Oden and the Blazers would be better for it.

    Honestly, most of the Blazers are driving to the basket hard, just not getting the ball in and not getting the calls.
