Me too, Stomp, but iirc we were being outrebounded at halftime. So IMO it wasn't that LMA was shooting the jump shot, but it opened up when he started making the jumper in the 2nd half
 
A lot of times it looks like a really bad angle when Oden throws up his hands for a pass. I'm not sure who's fault that is, Oden or the ball handler.
 
I'll go ahead and clarify my overreaction. Let me first off start by saying I love the insults. Unlike many people on the board who whine about them, I feed off them, so keep em coming.

Second, this maybe my first post, but I've been around the boards for a few years now, and my username is a direct migration from BBF, before Outlaw was "me" first. I don't post often unless I see something outrageous, and this for me last night fit into that category. I probably overreacted a bit, but I challenge anyone to go back and watch the game and watch what Aldridge was doing last night. It's one thing to let if fly (which he should), but its something else when you're up by 15+points, and you've been ice cold all night, yet you continue to chuck and look Oden dead in the face under the basket wide open. This was not Oden streaking down the lane with is arms flailing, this was Oden directly under the basket for a point blank dunk. Oden at the very least had as good of a chance at throwing down a point blank dunk as Alridge had of making a contested jumper (I beleive at one point he was 3-15). He looked like Aldridge with Outlaws shot selection last night, a black hole.
 
Hey... I agree that Aldridge and the rest of the Blazer do pass up Oden a lot. BECAUSE he has show to be a turnover machine most times you try to throw the ball to him. Once he proves he can catch the ball and do something with it they will pass it to him more.

What I love more than anything else is a poster insinuating that a player who willingly comes off of the bench and plays out of position is a "me-first" player.

LMA isn't, but neither is Outlaw.

As much as I still like Outlaw, do you really think the guy has a choice? He might have one though after that bone headed shot at the buzzer by Batum. With Webster back, this guy will never start period.

What I'm saying is that Outlaw has accepted the role without whining, and by most accounts he is a good friend to many players on the team, which means he isn't bitching or jealous about his role.

I'll never understand why Outlaw gets so much criticism from ten or so posters here. It's like an obsession.

Those are my thoughts.
 
Aldridge can have a horrible shooting night (like the other night 6-20) and still make a positive impact on the other end of the court. To me, that's not a me first player.

Subjective, by definition.

e.g., Outlaw has a low basketball IQ.

WTF does that have to do with my post? I don't think I criticized Outlaw at all in this thread or any other.

*edited* and quit following me around, *edited*.

If Oden started catching the ball and getting a shot off without getting it stripped 75% of the time, he'd probably get the ball inside more often.
 
The only rumored "me-first" player on this roster is Bayless.
 
I submit to you Ike Diogu, PapaG.

Dude, would you shut the fuck up with your "subjective" bull shit? Seriously, do you even know what the word means? The way you use it sure makes it look like you don't. Just don't use the word.

LOL

Please explain to me the definition of subjective after you are done exterminating all Christians.
