Now I just want Portland to run them out of their own building and if a certain center for Orlando breaks his leg, I won't cry! I won't wish for it, that would be wrong. But I wouldn't cry if something unfortunate happened to him. Is that so wrong of me?


Yeah that wasn't a nice title, but so what we can look past it and really there is only one Magic poster on their board who is under rating the Blazers. Clearly guys doesn't know much seeing how in the past several weeks we are 19 and 3, while they are 8 and 13. Let Howard get is points. For me the key to the game is for our guards to penetrate and put some pressure on their front line.

Punk move by Howard. Pretty uncharacteristic of him, but pretty damn lame. Oh well.

No, the chat room software locked up on me. We need to find a better chat room.

What's this about the Magic board? Did Howard make he game thread or something?

Billy--I think you, Spykes and I need to have a chat with the Magic mods about that. I know if someone posted a "Blazers versus Tragic" game thread here we'd be editing and warning folks.

Flicking the ball into Przybilla's stomach/crotch area and giving the stare down. Don't have a problem with the stare down (hell Portland needs some of that), but the whole ball to the fella's was pretty lame.

Of course, I'm not fancy dancy with a DVR so I can't rewind. Might have looked worse live than it really was. As I said, uncharacteristic of Howard.

Very nice play by Webster. His shot hasn't been falling yet, but he's getting good looks and hustling. It really is amazing how he has matured this season, even though the improvement in stats has been fairly modest.

It was probably an accident, he's never tried to intentionally hurt anyone before. He does the intensity thing a lot more though.

We're getting great looks, but nothing is falling. We can't be this cold the whole game, I hope.... :pray:

Foyle literally landed on Joel's back and no foul call.

Blazers are getting good shots, just not hitting anything so far.

Even the shots we're contesting are getting nothing but net.
