    LA is a stud. When I say he's beautiful. This is what I'm talking about. His moves and game is deadly.

    "LaMarcus Aldridge is first player with 80+ points and 15+ rebounds in team's first 2 playoff games since Michael Jordan (April 25-27, 1997)."

    Fuckin (L)A.

    LaMarcus has been a monster in the first two games, very impressive. I don't think that Portland is going to sweep Houston by any means, but I also didn't think that they would take both road games, it's going to be a very wild night in Portland on Friday night. Very impressive win by the Blazers after that first half by Howard, LMA was the more consistent player tonight though.

    I'm not sure how you embed video but watch Aldridge's shots. Asik's reactions are priceless.

    La should be considered a top 5 player in the nba based off of his performance in the playoffs so far. There is no question he is the best 4 in the nba!

    And do you know what, Disney Friends, in 1 more year when LA becomes a free agent, he will get paid like Howard too. Thank You Mr. Allen.

    LA has been amazing. Our 3 point shooters should get a lot of the credit too. Last playoff series Aldridge was in when we had Crash, Camby, Andre Miller the Mavs or Suns could double Aldridge and not fear ball rotation. With all the court spacing opponents are now scared to do that so Aldridge can feast in single coverage.

    Being candid here, I didn't think a Blazer would put up historic performances like this ever.

    And I had definitely not expected LA to do it.

    Amazing. I don't think I've fully grasped what he has done just yet, but wow.

    I wonder how far they'd have to go back for 85+ points and 25+ rebounds. Wilt?

    LOL. LA is finally going to become a max player. I sometimes forget that he's not (not that he's all that far away).

    Actually... Looks like nobody's done it, period... LaMarcus is the first.

    Here's everyone with 85+ points in the first two games:

    http://bkref.com/tiny/SRHaJ

    None of them have rebounded like LA. None of them have been centers or PF's.

    This is RARE territory.

    How rare? In other playoff series, only Shaq has done an 80/20 over the first two games (Conference Semis).

    The name of this thread should be LA = MJ...

    LA's 2pt FG attempts are exactly the same as Jordan's in 96-97. Crazy.

    I thought it was funny we he shot the airball last night and you heard a slight murmur of the chant... then people realized this guy is touching them 2 games in a row.
