The Blazers outrebounded the Spurs 48-37 last night and they held the Spurs to 38% shooting from the floor which helps explain the final score. Brandon Roy led the way for the Blazers in this game with 24 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Steve Blake had one of his better games of the year last night with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Greg Oden was outstanding in the middle for the Trailblazers last night with 14 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocked shots in only 25 minutes on the court. The Trailblazers are now 3-3 on the season.

The Blazers raced out to a 25-15 lead in the first quarter last night but they couldn’t maintain that pace and part of the reason was because they were outrebounded 46-36. LaMarcus Aldridge led the way for the Blazers in this game with 20 points, 14 rebounds and 2 steals. Brandon Roy was solid in this game with 19 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists. Travis Outlaw was outstanding off the bench in this game with 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocked shots in only 23 minutes. The Trailblazers are now 2-3 on this season.

Because Brandon Roy plays on the West Coast a lot of fans don’t get to see him play. That is a shame because I’ve been saying for a while now that he is the D-Wade of the West. Roy has played in 4 games (all starts) for the Trailblazers this season and he is averaging 37.5 minutes, 27.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. If Roy were more selfish he could probably average 30+ points per game but he’s not as he is a good team player.

The Trailblazers turned up the D last night holding the Thunder to 34.3% shooting from the floor and that was the biggest reason for the win. Steve Blake led the way for the Blazers with 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists last night. Brandon Roy only shot 5 of 17 from the floor as he finished up with 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Greg Oden was tough around the basket finishing with 12 points and 10 rebounds in 29 minutes on the court. Travis Outlaw pitched in with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists last night. The Trailblazers are now 2-2 on the season with this win.

The Trailblazers just couldn’t keep up with the Rockets last night despite shooting 51.4% from the floor last night. They also didn’t play much defense as the Rockets shot 50.6% from the floor. Brandon Roy led the way for the Trailblazers in this game with 42 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. LaMarcus Aldridge had a solid game too with 27 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Andre Miller pitched in with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in only 24 minutes on the court. The Trailblazers are now 1-2 on the season.
