BTW, how anemic does this lineup sound on paper: Blake/Jack/Jones/Travis/Joel? I mean really...Steve Blake has to create for that lineup. And they're STILL scoring.

I bet Wizard fans are feelin like we did after last night's game.

Good win, but we beat an undermanned Wizards team. Nice to get literally everyone involved, but Portland still has a long way to go.

Man nice to see a good game out of Jack,Webster and Outlaw, to bad its at the exprenese of ROY and LA.

Impressive win, but I sure wish it didn't come at the cost of Roy getting hurt. Hopefully it isn't that bad, but as the Mike's said, those groin injuries can really be nagging. Przybilla had a terrible time with his groin injury last year, although his was a bit worse as I believe he was kicked in the "Kaman's".

The Wizards weren't undermanned. The only player who was out for them was Arenas and he's been out all year. Portland was far more undermanned by comparison. The guys who have carried the Wizards this season (Butler and Jamison) just had really off games.

And I thought I wouldn't forget about yesterday's loss for a long time!!! I don't know if I can point out a single blazer that didn't work is A#@ off today. They worked hard for this win and deserve it especially considering the fact that their 2 leading scorers were out. It took a lot of mental and physical strength to win this one and the outcome was definitely not a fluke. The Wizards are a very respectable team and the Blazers once again managed to prove us wrong tonight.

Rest Roy/Aldridge, Taaaaank moooooode!!!

Kidding, i hope they are both back as soon as possible.

Good game tonight, roommate is a Wizards fan, so this felt extra nice

Its gotta be the time change because the Wiz stunk the joint up tonight. Webster again IMO validates that if he is actively used in the offense he can be very effective.

well, i saw the first half and i have to say i was pretty impressed with what i saw, specially since aldridge wasn't playing and then when roy went down, the team managed to not only win, but to crush the wizards.

i liked the intesity, and you have to love joel for that. for his history he could be a player that takes more care of himself, but he's banging, going for the rebounds, making his mark on the defensive end.

i liked how outlaw's shot was falling, so clean, only net. and martell was on fire. and what about jack? he made the 2nd qtr. his and for what i saw i didn't see him make bad decisions, instead i saw him made a couple of great passes.

i think that this win in particular has to give us a lot of positive input and keep us marveled with what this team will do in the future. a 20 pt win vs. a pretty good team WITHOUT your 2 top players is really a statement.
