I was at the game tonight. Actually there were a lot of Blazer supporters there today. Things I noticed tonight...

MN fans still hate Pryz with all there hearts
MN fans also dislike Telfair, one fan nearly blew his top when Telfair missed a layup
James Jones can silence the crowd like no other
The two guys in front of me and my girlfriend hated our Blazer attire
There was a lot of arena talk about Roy, but whenever someone said something good about him, it was always followed up by "Yea he's good, but we got Foye!"

Anyways I took a few pictures which I'll post asap.
I thought I remembered hearing that Oden was going on the roadtrips. I looked everywhere for him but didn't see him. MN weather keep him in Portland?

Aldridge had 11 rebounds (4 blocks, shot only 6-16) tonight, so his rebounding was back. However, his man Al Jefferson had 16 rebounds (29 points) (Przybilla played few minutes). I guess the best comparison is total rebounds, won by Minny by only 46-44. So we got rebounds, and I think the effort level was adjusted downward for the competition.

Then instead of drawing a sample, look at Sergio's entire population of FTs. Shooting 1-2 tonight boosts his season total to 4-11. He jumped from .300 to .364. If he could get people to foul him, he'd be much more valuable. THEN he could work on FT shooting form.

Sounds like they're angry over a lot more things than just Kevin McHale. Why do they hate Joel?

Cause he jumped ship early from the Timberwolves and they didn't like that.

Joel never played for Minny. In fact, anyone in Minnesota hating Joel would be somewhat ridiculous. He played at U of M. Drafted by Milwaukee. So I really can't understand why anyone would hate him up there.

Perhaps it was this?

Przybilla ... I hate a fake thug. (He) shouldn't be yapping about something he's not.

This is really kind of a milestone. The team played badly - on the road - and still won!

That said, they need to play much better against the Bulls, or they will get their asses handed to them on a platter.

Possibly.... Blazer fans will most likely hate Ricky Davis until the day he retires.

I think it has to do with the fact that he was suspended at U of Minnesota and then quit the team and entered the draft.

I was cursing like a sailor during stretches in the 3rd and 4th quarter. My cat Margot was blushing.

Agree, got to shoot better in Chitown tonight.

BTW, how about Blake's 3 pointer from the next city? Should have gotten 4 points for that.

Yeah, I think you are right. Here's an article about the day he was drafted...

Turning his thoughts toward the future of his relationship with Minnesota basketball fans, Przybilla hopes that a day will come when the hard feelings about his college exit subside.
A day when he receives the cheers former Gophers stars Quincy Lewis and Kevin McHale got upon appearing on the scoreboard monitor during the evening.
"In the future," Przybilla said, "hopefully people will say, 'Hey, he's a Minnesota kid,' and they'll cheer me on."

Apparently not. But at least they still can cherish McHale.

Yes but was it the shooting, or the shot selection? I was angry because of the shot selection, not that they were missing. I was also angry about the effort period. The Blazers ended up getting the win, but the lackluster effort after they got up will get them in trouble. That was similar to the one against Philadelphia in Philly where they blew the huge halftime lead.
