Kind of surprised to see the Blazers lose to Oklahoma City tonight. I wonder if Portland regrets not taking Durant instead of Oden?

Not yet. How Oden looks next season will be more telling. He gets a pass this year since he didn't play last season, it is his first year in the NBA and he is coming off a surgery. I would assume he will show significant strides next season. If not, he probably won't ever become the force the Blazers were hoping they were getting.

Oden still have alot to learn to become Good Strong Center. Its his first year and he will get better in few year after playing against strong expernice Center/PF like Oneal, Howard, Bosh, and others. He still need to practice his jump hook tho.

30-19 vs 12-38... Why would we want Durant?

Obviously that's not all Oden's doing, but since Oden has played our team seems more complete. Durant is a stud, don't get me wrong, but this team is perfect the way it is.

Anyone see the end of the game vs. the Knicks? The Blazers have some major issues, but that was a huge win to pull out. Thank you B-Roy. :D

We are looking pretty shaky lately. Weird thing is, we need Blake pretty badly.

Not only do we need his leadership, but we need his outside shooting.

No kidding, that's the second game the refs have cost us this year in Golden State. Blazers defense still sucks though...

True, but it is tough to play good defense when half of your starters are on the bench the whole game due to fouls. I am not equipped to be a NBA fan. I watch it like I am watching college football, where if a ref costs us a game it means the season is over. I get very angry when I see such blatant manipulation.

Nice to see Blake back.

Love the fans giving it to Miles..

Miles tried to stuff it, but Outlaw spanked his dunk attempt. Crowd went crazy.

Blazers aren't looking very good, but this was a huge win against Memphis regardless.
