Who Was Tonight's Star?

[magnifier661]

I think there were a lot of stars, but my game ball goes to Stotts. Stotts messed with his lineup until he found one that could do something. Then with stars like Aldridge, Lillard, Batum on the floor, he demanded the team get the ball into Luke's hands. Great, great coaching job

Actually you have a point. Stotts clearly was the one person in the arena that didn't give up.

LMA was the biggest full game star and Lillard was a close second with his 4th quarter heroics. The others were very valuable; but those two kept us in the game.

If Aldridge can play with this aggressiveness every game; we would be hard to beat. I hope Stotts sees this and uses him more in this way.

+1

the question I have is why do we see so few games from him like this? He has the talent and ability to do this at will, but his average rebounds are what,6?

No, the REAL question is:

How butt-hurt are the cawk-hungry kids at rubes?

Batum is stepping up his game. I expected him to take a jump forward this year, but I've really been impressed with him. He'll be 24 in 10 days, and this is his fifth season. It seems like it's coming together for him, and he's still got some time before he hits his prime. Glad to see this happen in a BLAZERS uni.

Wow, so many to choose from:

Wesley: 19 & 7
Dame: 24 & 9
LaMarcus: 25, 13, & 5
Nico: 17, 13, & 7
Luke: Out of NOWHERE!
The bench at large...

Great come-from-behind-win-on-the-road fellas!!

Remember, this was against lowly Charlotte. Box score stats per minute say that Aldridge was the only excellent Blazer, and Babbitt was #2, and he was only good.

Luke Babbitt had the best game of his professional career. That it was his 74th and the box score says 9pts/5rebs says quite a lot.

Looking over his box scores, I see a number that were better per minute. But most were in garbage time. Here is his best game, in close wins like the Charlotte game.
