LA is a stud. When I say he's beautiful. This is what I'm talking about. His moves and game is deadly.

"LaMarcus Aldridge is first player with 80+ points and 15+ rebounds in team's first 2 playoff games since Michael Jordan (April 25-27, 1997)."

Fuckin (L)A.

Sig speaks for itself here. I fuckin love it.

LaMarcus has been a monster in the first two games, very impressive. I don't think that Portland is going to sweep Houston by any means, but I also didn't think that they would take both road games, it's going to be a very wild night in Portland on Friday night. Very impressive win by the Blazers after that first half by Howard, LMA was the more consistent player tonight though.

I'm not sure how you embed video but watch Aldridge's shots. Asik's reactions are priceless.

La should be considered a top 5 player in the nba based off of his performance in the playoffs so far. There is no question he is the best 4 in the nba!

And do you know what, Disney Friends, in 1 more year when LA becomes a free agent, he will get paid like Howard too. Thank You Mr. Allen.

LA has been amazing. Our 3 point shooters should get a lot of the credit too. Last playoff series Aldridge was in when we had Crash, Camby, Andre Miller the Mavs or Suns could double Aldridge and not fear ball rotation. With all the court spacing opponents are now scared to do that so Aldridge can feast in single coverage.

The database goes back only to 1986.

Well you dont see this often over on NBA.com ...its early but the Pulse is abuzz about LA....Damn Right they are!

 

[illmatic99]

Being candid here, I didn't think a Blazer would put up historic performances like this ever.

And I had definitely not expected LA to do it.

Amazing. I don't think I've fully grasped what he has done just yet, but wow.

I wonder how far they'd have to go back for 85+ points and 25+ rebounds. Wilt?

LOL. LA is finally going to become a max player. I sometimes forget that he's not (not that he's all that far away).

Actually... Looks like nobody's done it, period... LaMarcus is the first.

Here's everyone with 85+ points in the first two games:

http://bkref.com/tiny/SRHaJ

None of them have rebounded like LA. None of them have been centers or PF's.

This is RARE territory.

How rare? In other playoff series, only Shaq has done an 80/20 over the first two games (Conference Semis).

The name of this thread should be LA = MJ...

LA's 2pt FG attempts are exactly the same as Jordan's in 96-97. Crazy.

 

[Schilly]

I thought it was funny we he shot the airball last night and you heard a slight murmur of the chant... then people realized this guy is touching them 2 games in a row.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

For any "Frozen" fans...

LA is better than Howard. Portland, don't you think that's true?
Aldridge can beat you, without having to cheat you, and that's we've won games 1 & 2.

But Howard dunks better than Aldridge. Portland, don't you think I'm right?
That's once again true, but that's all he can do.
Yeah, you got me--guess LA wins the fight.

If only we could somehow face Bobcats in the finals, and then LA gives him the shrug back! :MARIS61:

 

[magnifier661]

I don't think anyone would have guessed that Aldridge would be the best and most dominant big man in this series. It's actually really fun to watch.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

LA's nickname should be The Ringer, because he looks like a pro in a YMCA game.

Is there a mathematical sign for "the opposite"?

LaMarcus Aldridge has become a bona fide leader. He directs his team, he settles his team, he sets the tone for his team, he leads his team.

Dwight Howard is the anti-leader. Instead of settling his team, getting them all on the same page, and bringing them together, Howard sews seeds of discontent, and will drive his team apart. We saw it at the beginning of the season, blaming his teammates, often when the fault was on him. He's a loser.

The media and "H-Town" fans are going to roast Harden. But it's Howard they should be after.

What's hilarious to me is that Howard is listening to and following Shaq's stupid advise. He'd be better off listening to Sir Charles.
