| Tmac's laziness on defense allowing Roy to take that shot was sad.. but oh well. I love Roy, and don't watch the NBA a ton, but i am a fan. I also thought aldridge wouldn't do crap in the league and he has played quite well. |

He's really long, athletic, has good skills. He needed some meat, but that comes with time and age. I think he's going to be a hammer in the future. |

| Let's see if they can hold out this lead over the Magic. Would be a great start to a tough three game stretch on the opposite corner of the country.

Kind of like what happened with Buck Williams and Terrell Brandon. | |

Both of those guys were really good players.

It's just hilarious to think back about how pretty much every NBA columnist and TV guy spent copious amounts of time telling us how nobody ever talked about those two. | |

| Yeah. Kind of a mix of effects when you get a not-quite-great but still all-star level player in a small market city.

| Oden had a double double tonight against the Hornets. Good to see. Even better to see the Hornets pull out the victory. | |

| Posey killed it. Blazers had a tough three game stretch on the opposite corner of the country. Decent enough performance.
