"I want to go on record saying I voted for him," Carlisle said Monday. "I did and I don't know how he didn't make it. I really don't. He's had a great year. He's been a monster both games we've played him. We know him well because he's a Dallas guy and he's around here during the summer. But, we hate seeing him and we hate playing against him because he's so good."

Respect.

Now Blazer's get him the darn ball!

next year he gets in no brainer if he keeps this shit up

I think there are a lot that would vote for Aldridge if they had a do over.

Coach is just saying this so LA doesn't light him up again tonight!

No shit. I'm sure just about every coach we play from here on out will say the same thing.

No shit. I'm sure just about every coach we play from here on out will say the same thing.

Eventually it'll be "if all 15 WC coaches voted for me, why didn't I get in, huh?" then he'll go Hulk on all of them for lying to him.

That's what I was thinking too.

No shit. Kick him in the ass. Kick his teammates in the ass. Feature LaMarcus, get him the ball on the move and in the post, and force the other team to deal with it.

I used to groan when we'd start every game "establishing" LaMarcus. Now we're all trying to get him more FG attempts.

I used to groan every game we'd established him, and then forgot about him! I knew it was only a matter of time and practice before he would dominate. And even now that he is, we still forget about him!

 

[blazerboy30]

It annoys me that it seems we have started going away from LMA more, and we aren't playing as good of basketball as we were when he was dominating.

I'm curious how much of it is that teams are game planning around stopping him versus we seemed to forget that we should be going to him down low.

This is exactly the sentiment I was going to post. If this isn't buttering up LA, I don't know what is.

 

[maxiep]

It's my hope that LA absolutely dominates tonight in a Blazer win and then says, "I didn't want to make Coach Carlisle look bad by his All Star vote for me."

 

[jlprk]

You are all wrong. Carlisle's sincere, warm feelings for Aldridge should be returned with a hearty hi-oh. Shame on you.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

It's my hope that LA absolutely dominates tonight in a Blazer win and then says, "I didn't want to make Coach Carlisle look bad by his All Star vote for me."

Indeed!

More praise, rightly so:

In three games against Dallas this season, Aldridge has averaged 31.0 points and 9.3 rebounds.
“He’s a great player,” Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. “It’s the third game where he’s really hurt us. We used different coverages on him, different guys. His ability to score inside and then pop out and hit shots makes him really tough.”
