Batum should be rested, playing only 25 minutes Saturday. Wallace may not be as rested but is due for "less nerves"...I think he CARES so much...and he played hard on defense...I think the crowd may just freak him out a bit!!! Don't think he's used to the noisy crowd!And in Dallas...probably trying too hard. Hopefully you are right and all it took for Roy to suck less was to get some of his confidence back. I am sick to death of Roy's personality. The "he's such a good guy" thing...ughh..he's a huge whiner..maybe with good cause but still a whiner. Rudy...I feel for Rudy. He's probably also lacking in confidence and isn't bitching about his playing time. I think he has back issues that he's not talking about. The Blazers need more killer instinct and a defense coach who will put the fear of God into them. Osiepka sucks at this...as evidenced by the Bulls play while he was with that team...funny how much better they are now that they have a REAL defense coach who is also able to instill a CHAMPIONSHIP ATTITUDE IN THAT TEAM.

He scored 16 points on 6-10 shooting, while playing close to 25 minutes. Way better than his eight-minute, scoreless Game Two. Roy was actually one of four Blazers with more than 15 points, while Dallas only had two players in double-figures. That sort of balance is a winning formula in Portland. Check out the stats: Huge play from Boozer and Noah, limiting Hibbert and Hansbrough to 6-24 shooting and taking away the Pacers’ biggest strength: size. The game wasn’t pretty, but it’s a road win in the playoffs, and the Bulls gotta take that. If nothing else, they’ve been showing they can win close games and gut it out down the stretch.
