Lamarcus Aldridge.

It has been a long time since the Blazers had a guy who played 40 minutes a game, and from some of the bench play from PF as of late, I say it's time Portland had another 40 minute a game player. His offensive game is picking up, and he has shown some sign of late of returning to his form from late last year, which was awesome. So sit Frye down. Outlaw stick to SF. Play Lamarcus. :pimp:
 
Forget it, the Blazers need to sign Stepania, Ha and Slavko Vranes. They at least showed emotion, and heart unlike Greg!

If we only knew the power of apples in bed. Nezdad, I think, would have been fantastic with an apple. In bed.
 
And to think the trade talks (on this forum) were flying during LA's little slump :rolleyes:
 
So since LMA has had a couple of good games, he's better than Bosh? Quick, call Colangelo. He made a mistake picking the Olympic Team.

Heck, since we're at it, can we just ask why he decided he couldn't dunk or rebound during his "slump"? I'm glad he's doing it now, but it shouldn't be something you forget. You're 6'11"...you can dunk and rebound more than twice a season.

and you said
pretty much, but what would you expect?

The "trade talks" were by-and-large centered on the question about LMA being an elite PF. The trade talks were for upgrading LMA for Bosh, and if it would be worth it. Perhaps I misread the quoted posts, but it seemed as if Chad was implying (and you were agreeing) that trade talk of LMA+??? for Bosh was dumb, because now he's playing well.

That's who "said it". As I said, if I misread that, mea culpa. I still think if Bosh was available for LMA and change, I would think KP would think long and hard about it. If LMA is rebounding and attacking the hoop (like yesterday...great game by him); he's almost Bosh-level. If he's playing the way he was in the slump, he's not much better than Zach.

i wasnt saying that at all. bosh is better without question. i thought tehchad was talking about how bi-polar the fans are, and how if a player is in a slump a lot of fans think they should be traded. now he is playing good and some of those fans are right back on the aldridge fan club. i was agreeing with him.

btw wheres Fez? the biggest aldridge hater of them all.
 
Aldridge's upside is not clear yet. He is still young.

As with so many of our players (save Trout): Let the Cake Bake

I have no idea where this came from, or what the fuck it has to do with who the Blazers are playing at PF. But the one thing that I could point out, is the Chris Bosh averages 39.9 minutes per game. Notice the minutes per game, nearly 40. My point being, most of ther teams ride their stars and don't sit them. They might not have the luxury of sitting them, but it the game is on the line, the best players are in for the bulk of the minutes. Not because they want to make bench players unhappy. But because they want win.

It was a response to two comments posted about "people posting LMA trade ideas". It was a misunderstanding of the comments posted by the two. There was an apology for misconstruing what they said.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't read down that far, but that's an awfully far fly off the handle, hasoos.
