That was the worst performance by a starting PF in the history of our franchise.

game 1 of the 2000 WCF's.
 
I say that game by Sheed was far better than what LMA did tonight. 7 assists is far more valuable than 3 steals. Besides, Sheed had a steal himself!

Yes please. And he can also run a fast break better than Steve Blake, as anyone who watched their game last night can attest to.

Not that that's saying much, but the dude is a baller and I would be on the phone daily with Golden St. if he's available.
 
This is the worst thread by a poster in the history of the forum.

Aldridge definitely wasn't the only one to play poorly tonight.

Very true. Webster and Bayless didn't just return to earth, they left a smoldering crater.
 
Portland Forwards Tonight:

80 Minutes
9 Points
3-21 FG

ALL of them played awful. LA & Webster were brutal, & Cunningham and Howard were bad as well. Maybe Pendegraph will come back soon & give us a lift?
 
Since Nate refuses to run any offense through Joel, LaMarcus is doubled every time on offense.

I have no explanation for his streaky defense and weak boarding.
 
It wasn't a start, but on 2/1/2005, Zach Randolph played 29 minutes, went 0-12 from the field, had 3 reb, 0 ast, 0 stl, 0 blk, 0 pts and shot 0 FTs. If it wasn't for the 3 reb (and 12 missed FGs), his entire stat line would have been zeros. That's about the least impact you can have in 29 minutes on the floor.

BNM
 
painful.... just painful.

whats worse... la's performance or watching howard and cunningham on the 2nd unit?

He IS playing hurt, sometimes we forget that. How much pain is he in? He said the other night after the Sacramento game that he has to take "lots of Advil and Ibuprofen" (apparently he's not aware that they are the SAME thing) to play. And that he doesn't want to leave Brandon out there by himself or he probably wouldn't be playing.

I saw him limping back on defense pretty bad at one point tonight.
 
Aldridge is just a poor rebounder, inside scorer and post defender. He makes up for it with his medium range ump shot and turnaround jumper. He is also a very fast player and can score on the fast break. Which is surprising as we don't play more of an uptempo game. The reason for this is Roy is more effective in the half court whihc is the reason why Roy and Aldridge will never work together. Roy needs more of a Boozer, Milsap type.
 
Hey, look on the bright side, after standing around for 30 minutes he should be well rested for the second of the back to back.

There is a precedent for your theory. Think back to LA's stinker at Cleveland last Friday (at least defensively and on the boards - letting Verejao run a lay-up drill) He came out the next night at Milwaukee and his his best game of the season 31/11.

I think he's playing hurt right now and should be judged accordingly, however.

I agree, and he was hung out to dry on the perimeter quite a bit covering guards on defense, so he wasn't exactly well positioned for rebounds, and his own guards did pretty much nothing to get him going.

C'est la vie' He's had some really nice games in the past couple of weeks and I suppose you can't get too down on him, but damn ... :confused:
 
Horrible game by LA! His ankle is hurtin, but we'll see if he can come back tomorrow night!

Did he hurt his ankle doing the same thing many Portland fans did?

Landing awkwardly, after jumping off his (and the teams) bandwagon half a dozen times in the last week?
