Randolph was fouled on the inbound...

Once again, the Trail Blazers went to Randolph, who got off a pretty nice attempt at a game-winner, but the ball rimmed out.

It looks like the Trail Blazers won't head into their Christmas break with a 6 game win streak, but they had some very solid performances in the overtime loss. Outlaw was absolutely on fire all game long, scoring 18 points on 5 of 10 from the field. Randolph turned in an excellent fourth quarter and overtime- finishing with a team high 20 points, but the game ball has to go to Brandon Roy, who, in his second game back from injury, gave the Trail Blazers everything they needed to keep the game within reach. Roy finished with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists.

T.J. Ford led all scorers with 23 points for the Raptors and Toronto fans should be lining up at the point guard's door for his autograph. Ford contributed to every point the Raptors scored in overtime, whether it was by scoring it or dishing the assist.

It's heartbreaking when a team loses a game that they could've won, but it's a long season and Portland has to be pleased anytime they win 5 out of 6 games.

I was listening to every waning moment from the 4th quarter on and all I have to say is that from the sounds of Wheels, the boys were doing there darndest. Oh well, they can learn from this and take it to the next level.

Was it the 32 points off turnovers that hurt worse than 13 missed shots from behind the arc?????

My opinion is, once you've established either making a 3 or missing it during the game, you live by that in the last quarter. In other words, once 1 or 2 for whatever the drout was, it should have stopped.... Quit going to the dry well and utilize that towards inside shots.....

Oh well there are plenty of more games left..... Great job on the effort.

I left a post about Wheels blasting the official, Michael Smith, after the last basket in regulation was reversed. Why haven't you approved it?
