the thing is, he has been effective all year. If his shot wasn't falling, he was still an awesome defender and rebounder.

I've been pretty tough on Outlaw, too, and today, he really really showed some stones down the stretch. He took - and made - two huge shots in the final minute. Although, wasn't Rudy Gay his man? That putback never should have happened. But I'm in no mood to pick nits, this was a very important win, done in a very convincing way when the Blazers were down by eight points in the middle of the 4th. The Blazers pulled out the kind of win that opponents have been pulling on Portland.

Great win. Good job, Travis. But next time - box out!

He hit the last THREE shots I believe. One bounced around and fell. Then the game winning three. But no, Gay scores so Travis hits ANOTHER game winning shot. Amazing.

Uh on. With Outlaw and Jones playing so well, Webster's gonna lose minutes.

I think the hate will come when he plays poorly, as it should for any of the players who try to do too much when being ineffective. However, I think it's only appropriate to a point.

The LameR has spoken. C^2

Public Defender

I just went back and checked the official "play-by-play" on nba.com, and yes, Outlaw hit three shots in the last minute to rally the Blazers from four down, to a one point victory.

I would have to say that was an outstanding performance. I'd say it was the most clutch minute of offense from any Blazer so far this season.

He is playing better as of late, but I am not ready to join in the love fest. He has a habit of stringing a few great games together before returning to mediocracy.

His recent play is intriguing though.

True. And there is nothing wrong with that. You guys crack me up thinking players should be great every night. Even super stars have bad shooting games every few games. They just have more of a chance to shoot themselves out of it. And Travis as we all know is no super star. Just let him be him.

Ok ok no more hating Outlaw

He is officially out of the Outhouse

Name one of our bench players who doesn't fall into that category. He's not a max contract guy, he's not even a starter. And let's face it, it's either him, or play Frye and Raef more... That should help you appreciate him, at least a little.

Your word choice is anomalous, yet stimulating.

Outlaw's done a lot to help this team this year. His defense has improved tremendously, and it looks like he's broken out of that shooting slump that plagued him earlier this season.

But I don't think you can say "No more hating on Outlaw" until he does this over a few weeks, not just a few games.

He is also attacking the rim more. When that happens he gets dangerous. Thanks Jeff Foster for getting the cowbwebs out. His phone game interview on the radio was classic too.

"I was hoping to get fouled, but they didn't call anything,'' Outlaw said of the game-winner. "Then, it went in anyway, and I was like 'Oh!'''
