I think Buck Williams has been a huge influence on LMA.

2-0 run

This made me LOL.

I think Roy's available field goals had the most influence.

LaMonstrous line: 18pts (9-17 fg), 13rebs, 4asts, 3stls, 7blks, 1 turn in 37 hard fought minutes.

Definitely a nice silver lining to an otherwise shit season full of disappointment and heartache is the emergence of LMA the past couple of weeks as a serious power forward (center?) -- If this were Greg Oden doing all of this there would have been ten threads started tonight talking about him being headed for the Hall of Fame.

 

[BlayZa]

u mean he's not going to the HOF?

 

[MickZagger]

Just read the stat that Aldridge has played more minutes than any other player in the NBA. Should this be a concern?

 

[Blazinaway]

We need a center in the worst way.[video=youtube;TU7JjJJZi1Q]

or a good PF that complements LMA at C?

Yes ... for a couple of reasons.

 

[Mediocre Man]

2 fast break point......Really?


LOL at the Denver announcers for praising the Nuggets defense by forcing Portland to shoot late in the shot clock. Little do they know that they are playing right into Nate's hands. I think Nate would be a great choice to host the new version of Beat the Clock

Mediocre teams can be puzzling to watch, but that is what we have. Teams that float around .500 will play great one night, disappear the next. The facts are we are down to Lamarcus playing center and Dante Cunningham and Marks trying to hold the fort at PF. That is pretty much saying "Drive the Lane and shoot layups all night, because we have nobody to block many of your shots.".

You know what I have a hard time believing? I have a hard time believing that Cho couldn't find somebody to be backup PF/Center besides Marks by now.
