    Especially Carl Mandry, he's a resident beast under the basket!


    Im not being negative, i just wonder how they read us like that. Was it Pryz's height or was Ron just a click too slow on the dish? Carl usually jams it home with ease on those assists, i had already chalked up the easy basket each time then SWAT!


    Was it just slow passes?

    I think its a combo of Landry not being 100% and the fact that the Blazers are all taller.

    I especially liked that block Oden made.....on himself when he missed that breakaway dunk. :)

    That was a great dunk by Yao... He was so active last night.

    A few of the blocks were a bit suspect to be honest. Landry took some massive fouls on one of the blocks, and on another it looked like the ball was on the rim.

    Landry gets blocked because he's a little slow with the two handed dunk. With Scola, he'll do a layup off the board real quick, that is a bit faster than 2 handed dunk.

    Pryz is a good blocker, so give him some credit.
    Flop aside, he's been great defensively this series.

    He had some good blocks but the hacking, hammering and grappling with Yao was pissing me off. Play with dignity man, not like a dirty player tryin to take down a freak show. That was just low rent.
