Congrats Blazers fans, that was a hell of a game, Roy went from being the goat to the hero, if he misses that shot then the press rips him for that foul on Yao that gave them the lead at the end in the first place but he stepped up and took care of business, great game.

2-3

Lakers-L
Spurs-W
Suns- L
Utah- L
Houston- W

We are playing the heart of the West...And yet we are 2-3 so far. They are exceeding my expectations.

Re: The Official Portland Trailblazers Thread

Roy is a special player who plays too unselfishly, he really needs to drive the ball more and take over offensively when his team hits a lull.

Re: The Official Portland Trailblazers Thread

3-3

Im very pleased...We should of blown out the Wolves...But we still got the W.

[ProjectRipCity]

Re: The Official Portland Trailblazers Thread

4-3

3 game win streak...If we can pull off a win over NOH then we will be in good shape to have a 5 game win streak after the Wolves game.

6-3 could happen by next weekend

This is without 2 starters folks with one of the hardest schedules in the NBA. I heard somewhere this is the toughest start in the history statistically wise...Any truth to that?

I do know one thing.

They need to free Jerryd Bayless from the bench.

Blake and Sergio and Roy playing PG

We are stacked.

Plus he is a rookie and I dont think Nate wants to unleash him just yet.

That's what I figured. Just wondering if he had made Nate mad. Had heard that he was kind of a trouble maker before Arizona. I really liked what he did in college and thought he was a solid team player. I'm hoping he does big things in Portland.

That is false...The guy is just really cocky and a little ignorant...Maybe the bench will help him. Other than that he has been great to us as far as I know. Hussles in practice and is not afraid to take the hit.

Trail Blazers center Greg Oden looked fluid, explosive and ready for game action during the team's afternoon practice on Tuesday, leading many on the team to believe he will play Wednesday night against Miami.
Oden, who has not played since opening night on Oct. 28 because of a sprained right foot, said he felt good but will wait until Wednesday's shootaround to determine whether he will play.
If Oden does play, coach Nate McMillan said he will probably continue to start Joel Przybilla at center and bring Oden off the bench. McMillan said he will probably employ that tactic for several, if not many, games.
While Oden's actions during practice were encouraging, the news on Brandon Roy, was not as positive.
Roy said if the Blazers had to play a game on Tuesday, he would not have been able to suit up because of lower back spasms. He injured his back at the tail end of Monday's victory in Orlando, during which he had 27 points. Normally one who plays through injuries, Roy had to ask coach Nate McMillan to remove him from the final minute of Monday's game, and said he awoke to extreme soreness on Tuesday in Miami.
However, with another day to recover and get treatment, Roy said he is hopeful to play against Miami. Knowing Brandon throughout the years and the injuries he has sustained and played through, I'm guessing he will start against Miami. He was at least able to walk upright during practice, and even playfully hoisted some shots at the end of the workout.
The team is officially listing both players as questionable.
I will file more later
