Read that. He is clearly pissed at Lillard. Something went down.

 

[EGame]

lol he hopes for a 50/50 split reaction and at worse 60/40 in his mind? Try 100/0 all out boo fest you bitch.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Listen to it if you can, you can tell he gets pretty upset at Quick.

 

[blue9]

What do you want to say about Damian Lillard?

LaMarcus Aldridge: I don’t know, he doesn’t need me to say anything. He’s the face of the team, he’s been playing well. There’s not anything from me that needs to be said.

Wow - even in print it's just dripping with bitterness.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

It's a process (y'know).

Weak sauce by him making the "both sides got what they wanted" comment, but then being unwilling to elaborate. Of course, I don't see how anyone would expect anything else.

 

[Strenuus]

What did you mean by “both sides got what they want?”

LaMarcus Aldridge: Excuse me?

What do you mean by both sides got what they want?

LaMarcus Aldridge: What’d you say?

need I say more?

 

[Strenuus]

Dude. Aldridge is a little bitch. Answer the fucking question, even answer it PC style, do something. But coming off as a little bitch isnt going to help you tonight.

Nothing will.

If I wasn't going to boo before....

 

[Strenuus]

Sorry to triple post, but god damn hes a me first guy.

Has San Antonio been everything you wanted it to be so far?

LaMarcus Aldridge: It’s a process. I think it’s been some changes for me as far as on the court, off the court, but I think they’ve been great at trying to being me along slowly, trying to make me feel comfortable. It’s been great for me.

ME. ME. ME. Not one word about the team unless it helps him.

 

[BBert]

Geez it's a freaking "ya know" fest. Holy cow. That's gotta be some kind of record.

 

[Strenuus]

Good lord. 3 questions in, 17 y'knows.

Is someone brave enough to count the y'knows in this audio? I lost count at the 5th question.

 

[BonesJones]

Most fans over at OLive say theyll cheer. If he gets more cheers then boos I'll be sick to my stomach.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Fuck that guy, what a douche. Can't wait to get there to boo him all night long.

 

[Natebishop3]

He's a tool. We all know he's a tool. For such a big guy, he sure has small man syndrome.

 

[e_blazer]

If people really want to get to him, instead of booing they should just keep yelling "ya' know" over and over at the top of their lungs every time he touches the ball.

Or yell out MEDIUM TALENT!

 

[oldmangrouch]

Every time he misses a shot, start chanting "over-rated!"

Every time he touches the ball, everybody wave your little finger in the air.

 

[Natebishop3]

clap - clap - clap clap clap!

[dviss1]

Why the FUCK does this WEAK MINDED BITCH keep opening his mouth!?!?

 

[Strenuus]

This should be the chant.

"Lamarcus Y'know!" *clap clap clapclapclap* Lamarcus Y'know!" *clap clap clapclapclap*

 

[Natebishop3]

Why the FUCK does this WEAK MINDED BITCH keep opening his mouth!?!?

Because he doesn't want to be hated. It burns him up that Dame is more marketable than him. It probably hurts his feelings that people are pissed at him. Frankly, I think he'll play like crap if people boo him. He never really played better when someone got under his skin.

 

[EGame]

They should chant MVP for most valuable pussy. Somehow our fans could make it out to be like that as opposed to Most Valuable Player.

 

[Sinobas]

I don't think LA really deserves to have people be mean to him. I don't want to see him get booed. But I wouldn't clap for him either.

 

[Sinobas]

It'll be fun to be on the other end of all of LaMarcus' missed jumpers and bad shots!

 

[riverman]

We got in his head..that's all that matters...tonight he'll crumble like old playdough

 

[dviss1]

I don't think LA really deserves to have people be mean to him. I don't want to see him get booed. But I wouldn't clap for him either.

Silence and turning our backs.

1:10

Why the FUCK does this WEAK MINDED BITCH keep opening his mouth!?!?

Because he just can't stop eating

 

[BBert]

If LaMarCooch had been forthright and forthcoming about the fact he wanted to play in Texas and be near his kids I don't believe he would be getting one-tenth of the hostility he's getting. I certainly would understand.

But he didn't do that. Instead he not only deceived, but worse he left us hanging out to dry, getting nothing in return, and necessitating a complete rebuild.

Of course, if he'd been traded to his desired location that team would have had to give up players and assets, and would no longer have been an attractive destination or a team on which he would likely achieve a high level of success.

So, looking out for his own best interests, which is somewhat understandable, he lied and left us destitute. Looking out for our best interests, it is somewhat understandable that some of us are pissed off and resentful, and hope his selfishness goes unrewarded.

I hope his career crashes and burns and he rues the day he left the Trail Blazers.

More immediately, I hope he gets his ass kicked tonight.

Go Blazers!!

He'll go 10-12 on 20 foot turn arounds. It will still be fools gold.
