Turnover Percentage: 14.6%... LA's is 8.9%. Leonard's is 13.3%. he turns the ball over per 36 minutes more than Will Barton.

Hands. Of. Stone.

Serious question: if you sincerely believe the guy is that bad - why are you convinced there will be a bidding war for his services? Shouldn't we be able to re-sign him for the league minimum?

I don't remember saying that he'd be too expensive (you might have me confused with someone else *or* I might be forgetting some old post of mine... six of one, half dozen of the other), but my angle is that I don't think he'd accept coming off the bench as LA's backup. I'd be fine with him as our go-to backup PF, but he seems a little me-first and moody from the facebook posts (yeah, not much to go on, but it's all I got) to go from starting and playing 30 minutes a game to 12-18 off the bench.
 
Hickson gets an extra turnover because all game long he's a man of action, taking chances under the hoop to make plays. Aldridge is a wimp of wimpitude who doesn't do anything unless it's certain of success.

This post seriously made me laugh. Thank you. :lol:
 
Aldridge did zero in this game, and less than zero in the second half. We would have won if Hickson had played.

Which lucky team will get Hickson?

Hopefully the Lakers... can't wait to see the Artest/Hickson show. :lol:
 
Will we be sorry long-term (Jermaine O'Neal) or short-term (Rasheed Wallace)? In other words, will Hickson win a championship right away or just be the Beast in the East?
 
I must be a very hateful person; because I hated listening to the laker fans in the stands; i hated having to watch online and listening to the laker announcers; i hated that all they could talk about was how the Blazers should get technicals for protesting phantom fouls, while never replaying those plays. I hated Leonard's wimpiness and I hated that Aldridge doesn't really seem to care. I'm sure there is something I am forgetting, but sometimes when I am in a rage my brain doesn't work well.
 
I'm probably gonna get a lot of shit for this, but it seems like any time I go into one of these game threads, it seems like there's a lot of bitching about the refs. Without singling out any poster, because it's not really just one guy but rather a collective mentality, there just seems to be a lot of consistent bitching about the refs when the Blazers play a tight one, win or lose.

so, what's your point; the fact is the lakers lead the league in only one offensive category; foul shots awarded by the refs.
 
Maybe i was too hard on aldridge; he is who he is; and he did give a lot of effort; it's just frustrating he can't make big shots down the stretch.

What was my point? My point was my post, and it had nothing to do with the Lakers.
 
That was a *very* entertaining game. Very pleased with Portland's effort tonight. Great experience for the rookies and it was great to same Damian so fired up!
 
Shit. Bad finish. God I hate the L*kers and their little bitch fans in our arena.

It pretty much happens in most game threads by any fan base. Everytime a lot of contact is made regardless of the play (even if its implied contact were you can't really tell if it was an actual foul or not) and its not called then someone, usually me and a few others, make a comment about it. Then when there is little to no contact on plays we bitch about it. I know I get pretty bad when i'v been drinking but from all the game thread i'v read from places like RealGM, Lakersground, rubechat, ect it seems pretty normal. Its definitely annoying when your not a big fan of the team, and even sometimes when you are, but in the heat of the moment its understandable how overreactions can occur. Especially when, as a lot of people on this board, you believe the NBA is either rigged or greatly weighted towards certain players/organizations.
 
Wow, that was a fun game to take my father to. It sucked we lost but most of the game was very very entertaining. After watching so many road games live, I was looking forward to being surrounded by Blazers fans, not crowds of Lakers fans. I know Laker fans show up to these games but this was more than usual. What a joke. This was a legendary game. I wish it had gone in our favor. NOVoodoo, you should go to Lakersground.net. They actually believe the league is out to get them and they blame the refs for all their losses. It's comical. ABM, I won't gag you. But I'd love to gag HCP.

BlaZers will be good next year. Sucks that Philly lost.
 
Enough with the big pansy #12 Aldridge.
How many times do we have to see him standing still not contesting the ball, watching as an opponent rebounds or scores.
The guy is just flat out weak sauce and his soft/jumpshooting type game will never translate into winning it all.

Absolutely pathetic he was. If he at least half shows up, we win this game.
Trade him ASAP Mr Olshey!

Meyers Leonard = not an NBA center.

Please explain to me why I am supposed to be *happy* Hickson is getting kicked to the curb?

Because the team needs to move forward, and even though Meyers is not the answer, neither is Hickson.

I've gone to a lot of Blazer Laker games and that was the most Laker support I have seen.

That MVP chant was embarrassingly loud. And the "Let's Go ____" chants were just slightly more Blazers than Lakers.

Brother, I'm with you. I am busy when these game threads are active, but I always go and read them at the end of the night. It's funny to me how some posters who I usually respect their opinion...... they come into a game thread and lose all sense of reality. The best is the handful of guys who if we are down in the first quarter are just SLAMMING players left and right, then kissing their asses when we come back and win! These game threads are as bi-polar as they get!

Pretty much this. Bitching about refs is a time-honored tradition of sports-fandom! Of course most of us recognize that ref-griping is 90% bullshit, because we're willfully ignoring all of the bad calls that actually helped us, but against certain teams, and in certain situations, it's hard to deny a very real officiation imbalance.

For example: both of Lillard's first two three's were illegitimate. However, they only reviewed and rescinded one of them.
