HAha Blazers lose on a brick 3 pt bank by Turkoglu

[Darius]

If we lose Blake cost us the game. What a choker. What 94% free throw shooter missed 3 free throws with the game on the line. God he sucks.

That was definitely a Nick Anderson level choke... didn't he miss one vs. Orlando at the end too?

No but Roy missed like 5 free throws total for that game. Like 9/14 for the game.

Tonight though I don't know what more Roy can do. He does everything. This is what I'm talking about. When Roy scores a lot it's a close game, when he score 15 we win by 10.

Roy is money!

[BasketballWiz101]

WOW Roy is so clutch he makes it look easy great player

[qrich]

We need about 10 turn around games at this point my friend (maybe 9 or we'll be facing the wrong way at the end )

Like I said, at the moment, I'll take anything .

Were they bricks?

[RoseCity07]

They said Roy can't average 30 a game. He has scored 30 the last 3 games. He just never needs to.

Zach was a beast. He owned Aldridge. Game over.

[Darius]

Gordon with a dagger!!

You have to respect the Blazer's heart fighting like this on a back to back.

[qrich]

Zach Randolph is a beast and it seems like Baron woke up. 5-17, 8 games out of the 8th seed, god, its hard to even be happy after a good win like this.

We need to deal for a solid wing...Kaman/Collins for Salmons/Moore/Heavily protected first

Roy only scores a lot when the rest of the team isn't carrying their weight.

This game was such a disappointment, and I am pissed. I assume Blake was chosen over Rudy to shoot that freebie free throw because of him being the veteran that Nate thought would be less likely to choke. Now that Blake showed that he can be a 94% ft shooter and still go 1 for 5 from the line if the game is on the line, Rudy will get that call in the future from Nate.

Positives: Oden had a solid game and limited fouls (2 fouls in 42 minutes) and Roy was the only one doing anything in the last 2 overtimes.

[Darius]

I think it's a very good win!

It was against a good team.

It was on the road.

It was in a tight game (which we've been terrible at).

And Baron was finally able to perform.

We can't win without more off our bench though... personally I'd like to trade Kaman for depth at the wing positions. I'd like to keep playing Gordon. He makes some of rookie mistakes but he has a lot of talent, Ds up and plays beyond his years in general.

Kaman has to be worth more than Salmons and Moore!
