It seemed every time we stalled out was right before he was put in. Then things instantly changed, 12 assist in 18 min. If we see this Sergio in the playoffs it will make a huge difference. I am also thrilled by Rudy's passing, especially the game him and Oden have seemed to develop. That is very exciting. Bring it on Houston.

I was at the game and the way the team played was truly fan appreciation. We saw a great show, fantastic teamwork, and red-assed Joel take "yelo" over his knee. I don't care what anyone says, the Nuggets wanted this game up until they were run out of the building by the white unit. They subbed out their starters, and our white unit drubbed them through the 4th quarter. The plus minus for our bench versus their bench is amazing, or more simply put, an ass whoopin'. Keep it rollin' fellas. We face a tough opponent in the Rockets. I have a feeling the pressure is squarely on the Rockets as they currently hold the longest streak for playoff series losses (btw, Denver is right behind them), and the Blazers have nothing to lose. The second unit is playing great right now, and we need them to continue providing good stretches of high energy, solid rebounding, and efficient offense. If we get solid bench play and our starters come out firing on all cylinders from the jump, we could win this series in 5 or 6. Lets' Go Blazers! Rip City!!
