    Denver may fall to 8th seed or lotto. Anything is possible!

    I can't believe we beat the best team in the league. We played like world-beaters against the Spurs and Lakers, yet barely managed to beat teams like the Pacers and Wolves. I guess emotions play a big part in how these Blazers play.

    Great win. Shame on anybody who thought we wouldn't bring our A game tonight. Portland hates the Lakers, and the Blazers hate the Lakers. I had no doubt we'd come out hard tonight. The crowd made it a playoff atmosphere and the Lakers shrivled.

    Props to Joel & Outlaw. Clutch. Roy is the man and Batum played great D. Lamarcus was tough on the glass. Great game all around for us.

    Rudy seems like he's going to be ok. Hopefully there's nothing broken or strained.

    I had 111-99 in the prediction thread. I guess I overestimated the hapless lakers

    Well I doubt we could win on the road but I think we'd push it to game 7. Anything could happen. Nothing would be better than knocking the Lakers out of the playoffs.

    I keep relentlessly refreshing the yahoo NBA standings page. I can't wait for them to update the site so I can see the Blazers tied with Utah for first.

    Outlaw was fantastic, but Batum's "-3" came during garbage minutes. Before that he had a "positive" impact. Just wanted to point that out.

    I don't remember anyone saying Portland wouldn't bring their A game, I think it was more that the Lakers would bring theirs. Throw in the Kobe factor, the refs, (he does tend to get a lot of close calls late in games) and I didn't feel good about us winning. But then that's why I don't bet.

    Now on the positive side.......... Great, Smart defense tonight. Loved it.

    It was garbage time and he came in cold.

    There's no reason to call Bayless a moldy turd. :tsktsk:

    Batum was +2 before he came back in with the game already decided. I think that +/- is basically a worthless stat on a one-game basis, but with the way that poster was bashing Outlaw, I had to post it.

    Not sure how to feel after this one. An amazing buttkicking they put on the Lakers.

    But Rudy... I honestly wasn't even thinking it was a flagrant foul, not just in real time but through the entire Laker broadcast. But I just saw the replay on SportsCenter and that was a fucking bitch move by Ariza. He swung VERY hard and while I'm sure he wasn't meaning to put the guy in a stretcher, there was some serious attitude behind that swing. A definite ejection.

    FUCK ARIZA and FUCK THE LAKERS.

    Fucking bullshit. Can it really be just a coincidence as to how many people they injure? With each injury I find it harder and harder to believe. Maybe they are the anti-Christ.



    P.S. The Laker announcers called Travis, Charles... again.
