Anyone else thinking we might have to somehow get batum or bayless in to guard and harass aaron, if it wasn't for him in game 2 it probably would've been a blowout.  Also I seem to remember lowry burning blake for some open J's and blake's poor D leading to our big guys picking up fouls protecting the rim.  Anyone else agree?  Or do you have faith in blake's D, I don't doubt his offensive capabilities just his defense on speedy brooks.

I'm a 100% blazer fan and haven't got a chance to see miami as much as I want especially with Jermaine on the team, and btw does anyone remember blazers vs heat early this year when d wade pulled off 3 consecutive crossovers on 3 blazers trying to stop him from gettn to the rim?  One of the smoothest ballhandling i've ever seen.  Anyway since Jermaine came to you guys is the frontcourt trio of Haslem, Jermaine, and Beasley looking like it's the right mix to move up in the east?  And I havent watched beasley hardly at all just heard talk about him slumping and going to play SF most likely rest of his career.  So heat fans want to keep those big men or you guys hoping to make a play for chris bosh or someone close to his caliber for the frontcourt?  And Spoelstra seems to get more out of wade and seems like a creative coach, plus hes from oregon.  Hope he works out for you guys and hopefully in the next couple years or so we'll have D Wade battling B Roy in the finals.

Unfortunately I was only able to watch chunks of the game but I did see roy play kobe tough a couple times and not let him score.  I know Batum and Travis played him as well but can someone sum up how they each did on him tonight? I can remember Travis playing kobe tough one game last year but as all us blazer fans know outlaw has mental lapses on D when his man doesn't have the ball. Batum has became a much better on the ball defender as the season goes on so if you could please drop some knowledge about this for me it'd be much appreciated.  Rematch at the rose garden in april is gona be playoff like intense.
