With everybody missing and the fact that were still playing good ball. It baffles me that people still find any opportunity they can to bash Nate.
 
Haha at Rudy missing the three after the buzzer and cursing!

In the 3rd quarter, Aldridge and Bargeoff excelled but neutralized each other. Batum made a comeback from the 1st half. Big guys doing it. Bayless must be stopping all our guards (joking, not really). Now, let's see the Rudy & Patty Show in International City.

Bayless had done nothing, so I made that crack. Seconds after I clicked the post, he started his great streak. I reverse-jinxed him.

Carlesimo was on the Raptor bench. He's a lifer in this league.
 
37 and 10 for the L-Train. That one spinning fadeaway to the his left late was ridiculous!
 
30/10 becoming a common occurrence for our LA. Almost his 3rd 40pt night in 10 days.
 
LA now averaging 28.5pts, 10rebs, 2asts, 2blks, 1.5stl on 56% FG, and 82% FT in about 41mpg, through 6 games in Feb.

And Nic was huge this game, even if his shot was off. He hit some crucial buckets in the fourth, and contributed 7 rebounds, 4assists, and 4 blocks as well.

Aldridge was great in the 2nd half, and in the 4th quarter he played good defense too. As I said earlier, he and Bargeoff cancelled each other out in the 3rd quarter.
 
3 straight wins, baby! We can get 4 if we win on Sunday, but that'll be a bit tougher than this game, I think.

Screw the All-Star campaign, those are MVP-caliber numbers.

How often do you see a team reach 100 pts and more importantly get the win with only three players scoring more than 7 points? Crazy.
 
LMA is fast becoming a great player. I always thought he was very similar to Bosh but he has very good post game.
 
Hello. My name is LaMarcus Aldridge. You did not vote me. Prepare to die.

Let's see how Aldridge does in the last couple of minutes, like a Roy. At 2 minutes left he got the lucky bounce. So far so good. Show us, LaMarcus.

Nothing to report. It was a dead 2 minutes for both teams. He didn't improve his clutch statistics that they keep nowadays.

In the last 2 minutes, each team made only one FG (Miller and Bayless). We outscored them 6-2. All free throws were in the last 11 seconds. I want to see him win them in the last seconds like Roy.
 
So glad we didn't trade Aldridge for Bosh.... or fucking Kevin Love.

LaMarcus deserves about 100x more credit than Nate does. You could say Nate is "keeping the team together", but I don't buy it. Matthews, Miller & LaMarcus are prideful players, I don't think they'd give up. If LaMarcus wasn't playing his brains out, but we were winning due to great matchups, sub patterns & plays then maybe Nate would deserve more credit.
 
LMA sure gets a lot of buckets. He's had a lot of games this year with 14-15 FGM.

Two words come to mind. Bull and shit.

So, Phil Jackson should get no credit as a coach because he has had Jordan, Pippen, Kobe, and Shaq ...

Did Bayless really taunt McMillan in the fourth quarter?

I'm not sure if I'd call it taunting, but he did say something to Nate - twice after hitting consecutive 3s in front of the Blazers bench. Probably something like, "How you like me now, bitch!"

To which I would respond, "Scoreboard, bitch!"

Seriously, when you're a back-up on a team that is 14-40 and has lost 16 of the last 17, you should NEVER taunt ANYONE. You just end up looking like a fool.

It sure looked like it, but who knows what he actually said. That's the "I'll rip your lungs out" B-Rex I remember, LOL.

After the game, Barrett asked LaMarcus: "When did Bayless start making threes?" LaMarcus said: "I don't know man, he never gave us that." Oh, Snap. :)
 
It was all friendly. He had a big smile and Andre was smiling after Bayless made his 3-pointers. Bayless knew he was overachieving and was just happy. His friends on the Blazers thought, we better win this, then we'll be happy for our friend. Otherwise, dayum!!
 
Just talked to JB on facebook....... said he was loving hittin' 3's on us! Said he just got done having dinner with the guys! Said he misses P-Town!
