    Great block by Batum. Also you have to give Blake a couple games to get his shot back.

    Roy's been on fire from 3.

    What got into Blake's shorts? He's actually pushing the ball up to LMA and Batum?

    I'm liking our fast break tonight. This is one of the only game I have seen that we are pushing the ball up almost everytime we have a chance. Looking good.

    Both teams are on fire.

    This is good for the Blazers because we're scoring at the basket whereas Memphis is knocking down jumpshots. They'll cool down later on and this is their second of a back to back - so I figure they'll be close until the second half then we blow them out.

    Love pushing the ball. Love it.

    See, it's not "7 seconds or less", it's "get the ball upcourt when you can and see what you can do with it".

    So far, we've seen that, amazingly enough, Batum and LMA make it downcourt faster than the opponents' bigs. And we have a bunch of fastbreak points.

    I hope Outlaw and Sergio don't get hurt tonight. If I was Outlaw and wanted to stay in Portland I would fake a injury.
