PrintOK, in order to top that first half finish we're fielding SEVEN men on the court in the second half. Stay tuned and watch the hilarity! Meanwhile, make all of your second-half comments here.
This game isn't even close to being out of reach. Nice half!

"Thanks for coming to the game." - Kevin Pritchard
From the FreeDarko predictions
Dec 22 Portland@Denver: McMillan continues trying doggedly to slip a 6th man onto the court after every dead ball, but never succeeds for more than a few possessions at a time
Looks like they got the date wrong.

Wow, I wasn't supposed to watch this game
It’s 5:20 in the morning and tomorrow I won’t sleep at all, I’ll regret being awake right now, but it’s worth it.
I’ve been watching the second quarter, and despite missing too many open shots, We’re looking great against the Celtics!!
I love it, I love the way we’re moving the ball, I think it’s our best passing game of the season, from Steve to Greg, even Ike is playing well.
And Greg will do wathever it takes to win this game! Even getting on the floor when there are already 5 guys!
I love it!
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I have to drive my girlfriend to her work at 08.00
and pick her at 13:00, I’ll try to catch a sleep in between
Congrats celtics
you,ve just made my most despised list (neck & neck w/l@kers)
Boston has been giving us this game.
Can’t believe we are a few open jumpers away from the lead right now. I love it!
I wonder if the official stats...
will have more than the standard 240 minutes of playing time? Should have an extra 7 seconds or so.
dejá vu?
lol

I'm waiting for it this season
Someone’s going to throw a projectile at a ref. There’s terrible ref hostility in Portland after the last two weeks.
This is why the NBA needs some transparency with the refs.
Rudy should have just taken that hard

I'm absolutely sure Nate teaches the players to run to the corner on fast breaks
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
Oden got fouled while going for the rebound
shame that he didn’t get it simply because he didn’t “sell the call”

LMA does leave KG open
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.
Is anyone else amazed...
That our starters—w/o B Roy—has matched the Celtics’ point for point this quarter? If we can keep this up—and our bench can come in with this same energy—there’s no reason we can’t win this one
trade BR

Without Roy we go inside, and do well. Once they figure out how to use Greg and Roy
This team is going to by NASTY
I don't know which is more boring to watch during the break
the ads or Kings/LAC

If anyone would have told me that we would be down by 5 in the 3rd with the Celtics
With Roy out and LMA only having 10 points, I would have laughed and then walked away
Stupid Call!

Poor grammar is poor communication.
Poor communication causes misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding causes fighting.
Fighting causes war.
War causes death.
Therefore, your poor grammar may just kill us all.

Przy and Oden were in together? How did it go?

I've dreamed of this day since we drafted Oden
I love this. It’s like the year the NBA West All Stars started
Shaq
Duncan
KG
Kobe
J-Kidd
Huge lineup. They just dominated the small little eastern guys.

2 point guards, 2 centers, and Travis...

Not only you,
I am living vicariously through these posts.
Everybody was a baby once, Arthur. Oh, sure, maybe not today, or even yesterday. But once. Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future, like leathery footballs of hope. And you've got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception.
ummm...it says we love rebecca harlow

Nate is using all the tricks
Putting 6 players on the court at the same time. Putting twin towers with two point guards at the same time.
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.
HOLY smokes!

That happens so often.
Sometimes I think the refs keep it in their back pocket until they see a momentum change.
I really don't like that rule, but it's been around since like 1948...
