What a game for Brandon Roy!

[birdwatcher]

Brings the Blazers back from waaay down, hits a four pt play to tie it, and just scores the go ahead bucket. Playing unbelievable, and may just tie their series up with the Mavs. Great to see--he's a really solid player with some terrible luck. Go Blazers!

[birdwatcher]

18 pts in the fourth qtr, including the game tying bucket, and the game winner. 23 pt comeback is as big as the C's in the '02 eastern conference finals.

Heck of a game, would have sucked if that JKidd or one of the Jason Terry 3s fell.

[GreenFaith1819]

I had the fortune of being able to watch that game...what a comeback...the biggest playoff comeback since, well....the 07-08 Finals .

Great to see that from Brandon Roy! I'm really happy for him...man has the heart of a lion!

[samantha28]

I turned off the game, thinking it would be a blowout by the Mavs. I guess I should learn from the Pacers/Bulls game!

I just put on my only non-celtics jersey the red alternative brandon roy jersey......love that guy!!!!!! says all the right things, and finds ways to fight through adversity.

Ugh... The Mavs are the team that will have a better shot of knocking the Lakers out. We don't want them to get upset by the Blazers.

Well, there's always OKC--they have Perk, remember?

I disagree. Blazers have Wallace who is a great defender and could cover Kobe, both teams have veteran PGs but Andre is a post type of PG which is rare which could hurt the Lakers and an undersized fisher.

Also, They have Camby and Aldridge 2 7 footers who can bang with Gasol and Bynum (kind of)

Whoever wins in this seven game series is the better team, and will have a better chance to beat the lakers. I enjoy watching these western matchups, and i love watching roy and the blazers.....but lets be real here we all want to see lakers celtics

Really awesome to see BR have such an excellent game ... one of the worst quarters ever played in the Playoffs, followed by one of the greatest comebacks ... couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, and I love seeing him get some redemption after taking so much crap. Sweet win for Brandon and the Blazers!

[PosImpos]

Bleh.  These two teams are beating each other up so neither has a chance of beating the Lakers.  Same old story.

B-Roy had a magnificent quarter, but as someboy on ESPN said, it was reminiscent of Wizards-era MJ.

Hats off to BRoy. great game!

[Tommy Point God]

Unfortunately Broy's done. At least in terms of bein any kind of a star.

[OsirusCeltics]

That was a really good performance. Willed his team to a win. From the breakdown he had to this game in front of the home fans
What a closer he is

He should teach Kobe!

Thats what people said yesterday, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Portland fan that doesn't consider him a star today.

I think it's still premature to judge his limitations for the future. KG needed 18 months to resemble his old self, and his condition (as far as we know), wasn't anywhere near as serious.
