17,000 in Portland watch the Lakers get Humbled!

Oh, yeah, Kobe got his 32- but in a losing cause.
The Portland Trailblazers moved to 3-2 on the year and 2-0 at home in the Rose Garden, while the Lakers went south with their 2nd loss of the season. Before Kobe left town he had a few good things to say about Zbo, "Randolph had a monster game," Kobe Bryant said. "He commanded the paint area, drew fouls and got easy opportunities."


The Oregonlive.com Trailblazer forum hosted by the Oregonian newspaper is an excellent way to get in touch with the fans in Portland. Those fans also had some pretty good things to say about this game ...all night! Smile!

Zach has been playing like an Allstar!
Had a great time at the game. Zach is playin extremely well! Good stats and only two TO? He's had a good season thus far. Damn, it feels good to win. Blazers are definitely changing their image.. We are slowly, but surely, gaining our respect back! Keep up the game.

So many....
...reasons why beating The Lakers is special.
So many reasons to hate them! Nice to have the win, and enjoy a forum free from Laker Cap lock trolls using the term BLOSER like it was intelligent.
Thanks Blazers for winning one for a long time Laker hater!

Eating Crow...
I will eat my crow and like it! Now, I wasn't one of those idiots saying that we should trade Zach for Kenyon, but I did say that Zach was largely a bust and could never be a force for this team, and that if we could unload him for picks and salary relief that it would be good. I am an idiot, and the crow is mighty tasty.
Now that they are afraid of Randolph, I can't wait to unleash Roy on them too!

Please, take a moment to visit the site, Oregonlive.com you will be impressed!


Next up, Friday night, the 4-1 NO/Oklahoma City "whatevertheyares"! They bring a strong team to the Garden for a 7pm tip-off. Hopefully, by then they will have garnered their second loss of the year after a game at Golden State on Thursday night. They bring in a talented group featuring starters -- PG Chris Paul, G Peja Stojakovic, SF Desmond Mason, F David West, and C Tyson Chandler.

A good game on tap. The Blazers could get a little more respect with a win. Come on Portland fans, sell it out and show up on fire!
