I'm disgusted with the way the Blazers played today. While the final score didn't show the whole story, the Blazers should've won this game and really don't deserve to beat anyone if they can't beat the freaking sonics. I don't know what the deal was today, but something needs to change fast, or people will be saying we were a fluke.

I was surprised at the outcome as well. Seemed like Aldridge was scoring at will and then just stopped getting looks. I really like the future for your team though. Here's to hoping the Supes stay in Seattle and we can have many more battles in the future. A question about Outlaw. Has he ever had an assist??? The guy seems to be able to score very well but once he touchd the ball the rest of the team may as well have started crashing the boards. Is he always like that or was he just feeling it tonight? You guys have a great arena by the way. I have made it down there for a few Supes/Blazers games and was really impressed with the effort that obviously goes into making it a good experience for the fans. Good luck the rest of the year...after all, we don't want you getting too good of a pick in next years draft to add to Oden.

Well at least the best team on the floor for the Blazers was:
Roy
Jack
Outlaw
LA
Przy
With upgrades at 2 and 5 coming next year it's nice to see the beginning of that potential (albeit in a loss). That big lineup actually started getting some rebounds.
I still want to see:
Roy
Rudy
Outlaw
LA
Oden
on the floor at the same time.
Except for LA and Outlaw, the Blazers looked like they didn't expect the ball to go in the hoop.

Outlaw is kind of a black hole. But he is like the second/third option for the Blazers, especially late in the game. A few months ago, most fans here would have cringed at him shooting the ball, but at the start of the 13 game winning streak he started to find his niche and provided consistent scoring and was really clutch.
Unfortunately he hasn't been as effective lately since James Jones is out and there isn't enough spacing on the floor. But he still can score, as evident these last few games....
Well anyway, here's hoping to the number 1 and 2 picks again and the Sonics staying in Seattle.
