Only two assists! That is pathetic!

14-24 FG
7-8 FT
18 rebounds
ONLY 2 assists

Dude is a selfish player

:ghoti:
:cheers:

That was for all the posters out there who need something to bitch about. I kind of feel sorry for them tonight.
 
Everyone knows you gotta let a marshmellow bake.
 
he loves to play piano, he's mild, he's gentle, he's tender, he's soft, he's lamarcus aldridge.

last year somebody laughed at the idea of LA + Roy > CP3. As good a PG CP3 is, i wouldn't think twice taking LA and Roy over him.

The notion that Aldridge was soft? I think basically the whole forum ran with that. Even reporters like Jason Quick would ask him about it.

So, you're Sonny?
 
Aldridge beat the Thunder so hard it will be featured on next weeks 'Destroyed in Seconds'

I didn't call LaMarcus that, but I did say he was soft. He's not playing like a softie right now, that's for sure. The way he's playing, he's making me not want Bosh this summer. Dude's on a mission! Hope he keeps it up. When both he and Roy gets going, we are a tough team to beat. Just imagine when GO can stay out on the floor longer!

The way he is playing, he is leaps and bounds better than Bosh. Bottom line.

Is that Zach Randolph's line?
 
I think Rice said it in today's game:

There was a play when LMA was backing Green down, and instead of doing the fadeaway J, he spun around and had a layup that probably would've been an And-1 in any other game this year. It's THAT difference that's wiping away his "soft" label. I used it earlier this year as well.

I've thought it for about a week now...when LMA's shot charts start looking more like Oden's (only dunks, shot's in the paint and layups) we win by 20. If he averages as many dunk and layup attempts as jumpers, he'll be great. He hasn't been doing that until recently. And I like it.
 
LaMarcus has elevated his game to another level this past month. I've been REALLY impressed. There's such a huge difference in our low-post production when he's in and out of the game. LaMarcus is getting some man-crush status right now.

Agreed 100%. I, too, have consistently asserted that Aldridge is soft. Never that he's bad... just that his game was soft (and therefore might be more prone to inconsistency as his jumper was so critical to his production overall).

He's getting in the paint and getting to the line and getting rebounds and doing everything short of throwing elbows... he's NOT playing soft right now.

Why settle for Bosh when you can get Zach Randolph for cheaper? You know I heard Zach is at least equal to Chris Bosh.

I think Bosh is better, largely due to his passing and defense.

Aah Comon Minstrel! You know if Zbo says he is better, well then that has to be the truth....:ghoti:


Now here is something else I wanted to bring up. Many on this board (mostly Lamarcus supporters) had been surmising that at some point, Lamarcus might actually become the go to guy on the team for scoring. I am starting to wonder if the Blazers are starting to turn that corner, because Roys job has become much easier since Aldridge has really started hammering the interior of the offensive end. I don't see him stressing so much to score anymore. It is almost like he is relaxed, and just taking what is given. (Not like he hasn't always been that way, but he isn't forcing the issue like he was say, 3 weeks ago.)

This part of your post reminded me of what happened to Kobe's game when Gasol went to the Lakers.

The offense runs through Gasol, and Kobe floats through parts of the game taking what the defense brings, but not constantly forcing the action as he did before.

I LOVE the new and improved LaMarcus. He has been playing great.

In Oklahoma City his missed his first two shots, jumpers, and I got a little worried that he was going to have an off night. But, this time, he stayed aggressive, and worked hard for better, closer looks. Used his size advantage over a small front line.

He killed the Thunder. Total silence. Can you hear it?

The sellout crowd had to cover their eyes as they witnessed LaMarcus hunt down and kill the hapless team, and then the bloody carnage as the rest of the Blazers tore the carcus apart. Sad and ugly if you are an animal lover. Beautiful if you are a hunter.

They had no answer. Jeff Green is meeting with the coach right now demanding that he not ever have to guard LaMarcus again. He looked hopeless. It was a bit sad really.

That was a sellout crowd? I thought nobody was there...
 
How could you call yourself a true Blazers fan if you would come on here and Crack on our own guys. People tore LA's game apart for half this season. It takes time to develop in this league. He may have 2 straight shitty games coming up, but it doesn't change the fact that he is becoming an all-star. Greg will grow as a player also, it will just take time. If La was putting these #'s up and we were losing, people would be slamin us left and right. Make up your mind if you are going to be on the bandwagon or not.
