    Greg was definitely a positive sign.

    I feel pretty good about kicking their arses on Sunday. All we need is to locate the gigantic magnetic butt plug underneath Houston that's causing the phantom foul calls.

    That would have been fine if he'd taken the time to SET HIS F'ING FEET!

    More bizarre than the Oden foul when Yao ran into him running down the court? That changed the game, Oden was flat out owning them.

    Did somebody tell Travis Outlaw the Blazers are in the post season? He doesn't seem to know, because I haven't seen him yet. 2-11 tonight - another stinker for Trav. Damn, we could have used him tonight.

    He travelled after he caught it with time on the clock.

    Hey, you think Outlaw has done good things in the series but thought Oden didn't do good things tonight? Are you watching these games?

    Nate has to stop trusting him so much. Rudy is a better player.

    I think Nate is just hoping Outlaw snaps out of it. I'm willing to cut the guy a break but after three games, he's just done. He has no clue what's going on. Frye came in and pretty much saved our asses for a couple of minutes. At least he's showing he WANTS to be on the court and help us win.

    Outlaw, buddy, time to sit out a half and watch how it's played.

    Argh - that just feels like one that we could have and would have won with a decent night from either of our stars. That said, but our stars were pretty awful and we still had opportunities to win. Let's hope they bounce back on Sunday and our centers keep shutting down Yao.

    It's not like Greg was giving up position and not boxing out, we got killed on the boards because we shot a very low percentage and the Rockets did a great job of grabbing defensive boards and our guards didn't do a great job of digging out boards when our centers were otherwise preoccupied with Yao.

    Another good thing to come out of this game. Von Wafer and Brooks have finally cooled off. Combined 6-20 fg. I see no reason why those two butt-darts should all of a sudden start shooting lights-fucking-out like they did in games 1 and 2.

    The way we used Rudy tonight was a fucking travesty. He was on fire. We should have kept feeding him the ball.
