Great young team, up there with Atlanta and Orlando, real tough to beat at home.

I'm probably the lone poster that's glad that the streak is over, all the bs about best start ever and so on. Now we just go out and play without the hype, which can't be any good.

I'm looking for the Captain to crawl out of his shell and have a good outing, 25 points or so and a 5 point win. We've gotta get the captain back.

Incidently, did anyone else notice Pierce when he left the bench at the end of the kings game, he was limping pretty hard? Probably just circulation....

Yep, definitely the best young team in the West. Sure they have injuries, but so did Golden State and they surprised us. We can't take them lightly and must do what we did to Sacramento.

I agree this will be a tough game, Portland is a good team, and they're home...however we need to take advantage of the fact that Oden and Roy will be out and obliterate them early like we did with Sacramento...

I predict a win, hard-fought...

I'm glad Oden and Roy or out.

Forget about measuring sticks. They'll play intense no matter who is in the starting lineup and they have enough depth to make us work hard.

This team just needs to develop itself and more importantly get some breathing room from CLE!!!!!

Oden is in. Roy is very doubtful. Fernandez will start in place of Roy.

Here's to a good game. :beer:

we SUCKK when Rondo walks the ball up the court....so far nothing but WALKING it up.

Rondo on his way to his first quadruple double.

Refs are **** atrocious both ways tonight.

MaxwellSmart · Post #13 » by **MaxwellSmart** » Wed Dec 31, 2008 4:02 am

that was a Clear Out by Fernandez.....this is getting bad---Portland's trying to "rough up" the C's now.

MaxwellSmart · Post #14 » by **MaxwellSmart** » Wed Dec 31, 2008 4:04 am

this game reminds me of the GS game---we should be up by 20 or more---C's letting these guys hang around---with stupid turnovers + Tony Allen is worthless....actually less than worthless-he's a negative.

Do you ever get bored of talking to yourself in these threads?

Where was that foul on Oden? Looks to me like he jumped into him and created all the contract.

Throw the ball away more please.

MaxwellSmart · Post #18 » by **MaxwellSmart** » Wed Dec 31, 2008 4:11 am

Idiot turnovers....2nd Chance points for Portland...and Pierce passing up shots when Nobody can guard him = close game

LOL how can you count that basket!!

Garnett is really fired up. At least ray made that tech shot.
