Portland has the most bipolar fan base I have ever seen. half their fans are extreme homers, the whole Roy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Paul, LA>>>>>>>>>>West, Chandler is a crybaby I hope Pryz smacks him the mouth, Portland is a dynast in the making, Hornets suck blah blah blah. The other half are very down to earth and very honest. However, I prefer this over Lakers and Toronto fans who are all homers.

Wow! From a Blazer fan, much respect to the Hornets. I was fully expecting the Hornet starters to outplay the Portland starters. I was banking on a dominant effort from the Blazer bench and was decidedly not expecting a big game from Pargo. I was mighty impressed with the Hornets as a team and feel lucky that we got a season split with you guys. Keep enjoying your team and congrats on first place!

Ely is the MVP of the season, as one my peers mention to me. Ever since he came back from the injury, the bench has been playing lights out.

Thanks for the comments, guys. Just got back from the game. That was a great one to watch. Intense all the way through. I was wicked impressed with the Blazers zone defense, but we found ways through it enough to get the W.

I watched the game on League Pass. The Blazers announcers were annoying as hell. And I couldn't even see the freaking game because they filled half the screen with Oden's big head. Why the hell did I need to watch him stare at a monitor and say nothing interesting? I could have listened to him do that.

Either you need a bigger TV, or Greg Oden needs a smaller head. Which would be cheaper?

I enjoyed seeing the Hornets on League Pass, but the Announcers were very irritating. Through out the game they kept ripping on the Hornets and on Paul and they kept calling us whiners and kept saying that CP3 is always complaining, well he sure gave them something to think about what a well played game and it was nice seeing the bench playing consistently well over the past 5 games.Good Night guys and godbless

Those announcers are horrible, probably the worst in the league. Also, I i din't know better I would have thought that Oden was atleast 55-60years old.
