Are mid range jumpers to blame for LA sucking?

I wonder how many other teams LA has taken more jumpers than cause that is crazy.

...maybe it had something to do with a groin strain....

Or maybe he just wont go inside even during an all star game with no fouling

They're a bunch of Olive posters who are swamping this board with idiotic threads.

Most of the new members that have joined have been from the forum that the Blazers closed. There are a hardcore bunch of Oregonlive posters that will never come here.

Last season I calculated and posted that at that point, Lillard had taken more 3s than all other Blazers combined.

As for all shots other than 3s, Aldridge had attempted more than all other Blazers combined.

My post didn't raise a blip. Aldridge defenders were entrenched in battle position.

Yes.
And so goes the fate of our team.
I like Aldridge and all, I just REALLY dislike having our destiny tied to a (power)Forward who's 'go-to' move is a 40-43% jump shot.

This I totally agree with. Of course since it worked once with Dirk its okay for Portland to follow the same model.

Hey, it's 44.6% if he moves out to the 20'-24' range. His numbers only start to slip if he pays attention to his critics and starts moving in closer.
