Too bad 789 isn't still around. You two would have a lot to talk about. :wink:

Blazers win in double OT tonight against a feisty (sarcasm) Memphis team. Z-Bo almost nets forty on an efficient night from the field (sarcasm).

Oregon, I, too, am a Blazers fan and I think the future is bright. My biggest concern is Martell. Your opinion on Mr. Webster?

Hot damn, so they are out there! :biggrin: Exciting game. Nice bounceback after that debacle in Houston on Friday. Never thought I'd see the Blazers score 135 points, even if they were given 2 overtimes.

Not really sure of what to think of Webster. He doesn't really do anything special. He's clearly a great athlete but he doesn't post up, have a consistent shot, take it to the hole, or play great defense. I thought he was supposed to be much improved but I haven't seen it. He's still very young though. Jermaine O'Neal wasn't great right off the bat either.

What a night! Portland, Ohio St., and Oregon all played games down to the wire.

My biggest concern with Martell isn't his ability, I think he has above average athletic ability (solid rebounder) and is a great shooter (39% from 3). I'm more worried about his attitude. There seems to be little improvement between last year and this year. He seems to sulk quite a bit, which is disconcerting, while also understadning, coming from a young player (only twenty).

I'm also concerned about Joel. He played his best game of the season against Memphis, but then again that isn't exactly a strong Memphis team. He can't stay out of foul trouble and appears a bit hessitant. If Joel can step up and we can get some value for Magloire at the trading deadline I'm be especially excited about the future.

Yeah, I think Webster doesn't bring enough intensity which can happen when you ride the bench so much.

Do you know why Magloire is getting more playing time than Aldridge? I like what I've seen from Aldridge. He's athletic and versitile. Magloire just seems to lumber around out there.

I think you mentioned the reason Magloire is playing more minutes than LA, he's better at throwing his weight around. Lamarcus scores a good deal of his points on his jump shot, where as Magloire scores his points on ugly shit in the paint. I think Nate justs wants more of a classic Center out on the floor.

Good point.

Blazers lost in OT to Phoenix last night, 109-102.

Portland pwned Washington today, 94-73. Arenas scored only 9 points on 3-15 shooting while Aldridge had 18 points and 11 rebounds on 9-13 shooting. They've now won 22 games, passing last year's win total.

I was so glad to see this after Arenas guaranteed he was going to go for 50.
