    When I discussed LA's game earlier this year I mentioned he needed to work the paint more and add a three point shot. Well in two games he has been a beast. In those two games LA has taken just 6 shots beyond 20 feet in game 1 he made all three including 2 three pointers. In game two he was 1/3 from that range.

    In game 1 LA took 13 shots in the paint, had 13 free throw attempts and 7 offensive rebounds. In game 2 LA took 8 shots in the paint and got 8 free throw attempts.

    This is the kind of play we need from LA on a nightly basis. It was nice to geta solid road win not tainted by the refs. Keep up the good work LA and thanks for listening.

    Yeah, if this is how he's going to play in the Playoffs I can deal with him taking it easy during the regular season! I love seeing him clean up the O-Boards for easy points, too! Absolutely unbelievable play in these first two games!

    He averaged 23pts/11rbds during the regular season. Sure, that's taking it easy, lol.

    Talking about taking the easy jumper rather than working in the paint. This is a completely different LMA we're seeing in the Playoffs!

    So you want more from LMA in the regular season? You think he should score 40+ points a night? You guys are amazing. Cmeese trying to take credit for LMA's performance and you bitching about what he does during the regular season.

    No, no, no. Please re-read what I wrote. If this is how he's going to play in the Playoffs I'm FINE with him shooting jumpers throughout the regular season!

    Lamarcus is playing great, no question there. I don't think it proves we need him to play this well every single game during the regular season. We finished 54-28, our 6th best season in team history. Lamarcus was the 8th top scorer and 7th rebounder. I am pretty sure he brought enough to the team.
    Should we still trade Lillard for Conley?

    Has anyone ever thought that maybe Aldridge wanted to save himself for the true season? The one that really matters?

    If he's going to hit those jumpers to save his body for post season, then I'm all for his coasting.

    I didn't think it until Game 1.

    And that's all I'm saying is that I'M COOL WITH IT if this is how he does in the Playoffs. I'm not terribly concerned about regular season record so long as we get a decent seed. Heck, if LMA wants to take every other game off during the regular season so he can go kryptonite all over Dwight's ass in the POs, that's fine too! All that matters is Playoff wins.

    Everyone knows cm is the biggest troll in this forum now. I'm sure he is trying to take credit for Aldridge's emergence in the playoffs.

    It reminds me of the movie "American Hustle" when the dudes wife rats christian bales character to the mob and he comes back screaming at her. She said "see I knew you were gonna come up with a plan, that's why I told them to beat it out of you"

    LOL!

    I'd look in at O-Live, (if it didn't make me want to barf), to see if the users of these terms were still posting.

    Had management listened to the OP, LA would be traded and Blazers would be in the lottery with some other teams draft pick.

    Thanks for not listening management.
