    What is going on with Brandon Roy's handles? He just can't seem to keep control of his dribble. He's always losing the ball or getting stripped.

    Same situation in Cleveland. Apparently, there was a mistake by an architect initially, but they just live with it.

    I get that they want to milk the clock, but that was a wasted offensive sequence after Gerald Wallace hustled for the board.

    Wallace does NOT want to shoot those threes, but he can't help himself when he is that open.

    I can't believe Crash is a Blazer. Still sinking in.

    Shooting jumpers is what we do.

    Too bad we couldn't blow this team out so that our guys can get rest for tomorrow's game. Oh well, the Rose Garden crowd will have to provide some of the energy!

    Hopefully the Lakers are still in "we're not sitting players but we're not trying the hard either" mode.

    That said, Lakers on a Friday night....the RG will be rocking.

    Sad, sad that Wallace has 6 of our 8 points in this quarter. I have a dream that one day we will have an offense that tries to get easy baskets and not just shoot jumpers like we so often do in the third/fourth quarter.

    TNT's broacast sucks compared to Blazer broadcasting. The replays suck (not nearly as many), the knowledge of the team sucks, and the overall product is boring. I feel like I learn something with Mike and Mike. The TNT guys give me nothing when it comes to X's and O's. I'm entertained and informed with Blazer Broadcasting, not with TNT.

    The only advantage I give TNT is that the HD signal is better. Better picture quality.

    The Lakers COULD send a message, but if I'm Phil, I don't see any point in it. The Lakers have shown they can turn it on at the drop of a hat. They already won the season series, Portland hasn't shown they can beat good teams on the road (2-12 against the playoff teams in the WC), and why run the risk of an injury in a game that won't improve their standings?

    Yes, you're right. The TNT broadcast only points out the extremely obvious. And being a day to day Blazer fan, their insight is garbage.

    Crash for 3. He is a good shooter for someone with such low arc on his shot.

    Pretty sure Wallace is our best 3 point shooter. He is much better than Rudy who really should be ashamed about that.

    Crash should compete for the all star 3pt shootout. Wow.

    Rudy fucking sucks right now. Unfortunately, that guy is likely the difference between us making a run or not making a run. If he's warm, we're extremely tough to beat. If he's cold, we're easy to figure out. Rudy makes all the difference. Scary thought.
