Oh, I almost forgot. It was nice to see Travis single handedly dominate the Rockets. Incredible, good job Trav.

The Players talked of playing defense in interviews prior to the game. Especially Webster in reference to being the starter with Batum down. We then see a great Defensive/Rebounding effort by Oden. Perhaps that was in some measure due to the focus in Preperation. That being said, I don't think there are many chances for Greg like tonights matchup....

I enjoyed watching Sportscenter subtle Comments, LOL...

"Miller, who ISN'T Starting"
"The Bench shooting a much higher percentage than the starters"

This is Brandon's team, but he still needs to get a feel for what it is.

I am officially eating my words on Travis Outlaw right here right now. It took a full Preseason for him to wor the kinks out. Nate was right in being patient and "We know what he can do".. He earned some significant Playing Time and showcasing him does up his trade value if we can get something good. I don't think we could of last week.

I like the Production out of Center except for the opportunites to get the ball...

The team played well, they slowed Brooks down better than in last years playoffs. I wasn't happy that our gaurds still penetrate and ignore Greg, there were a couple times Brandon and Blake got into the key drew Oden's man and threw the pass to the corner. All in all though you have to be happy with the D played from the center position and Trav's production, but the stretch in the 2nd quarter of Miller pushing the tempo had to be my favorite part of that game. Denver will be a much tougher test, but the potential last nite was very encouraging.
