    He just cracked the top ten where Wes Matthews once was. I love Lopez's game. Best offensive center we've had since Sabonis.

    He's really the only decent center they have had since Sabonis. And I'm including Oden and Joel.

    He has been such a tremendous addition. Talk about being more than the sum of the parts. Fropez has done the dirty work allowing Aldridge to be LA and has also provided a bit of an attitudinal anchor which the Blazers sorely needed.

    He's a lot better then I ever thought he would be, but his FG% should be very high, most of his shots are 2ft from the basket.

    One thing that I love about him is that he's clutch from the free throw line. That's such a huge factor because we can leave him in at the end of a close game without worrying about hack-a-rolo. The Thunder missed a ton of free throws last night, yet Lopez calmly walks to the line and sinks two.

    I don't know... I'd say Przybilla was "decent," though he was far better at the defensive end than on offense. That said, I'd say Lopez is the best center I've seen play for the Blazers since Sabas... Of course, for those brief moments when Greg Oden was healthy and in shape (yes, I'm talking about both games), he was a better center than Lopez.

    Well, since you put it that way - we should trade him for Carmelo Antony.

    Most of your posts are made within 2ft from your computers, but that hasn't led you to making a high percentage of good posts. Unlike RoLo, I don't have high hopes either and suspect a trade by seasons end for a Twix and a $0.02 trade exception.

    His range has been much bigger than that. His baby hook and his 12 foot shot like the big one he made in the 4th qtr last night, has been a surprise for sure.

    Love what Lopez has brought to the Blazers.
    Hard worker, and quickly becoming a favourite because of it.

    He needs more P&R plays ran for him!

    Not only can he finish he is also shooting 80% from the ft line.

    More.

    Lopez.

    Robin's career fg% is .526, a bit lower than his eventual replacement Meyers Leonard who is a career .542. Joel Freeland is a pitiful career .427.

    Meanwhile Aldridge is the best PF we've had since Rasheed.

    Most? I don't know. He takes a lot of 6-10 ft shots. That's debatable.
