    He'll always be a streak shooter. I guess we either deal with it or trade him.

    He's always been a little streaky, but he seems a lot more passive this year for some reason. He must miss his 'lil buddy Chacho.

    LA is not the problem! The problem is our shooters are ice cold from outside, so the Thunder can cheat down on Lamarcus and we can't make them pay.

    That's funny, ESPN lists him as our top performer with:

    9 Pts, 6 Reb, 4 Ast, 3 Stl

    Why do I get the feeling that if Batum posted a similar stat line in the first half 90% of the posters in this thread would be gushing uncontrollably about what a complete player Batum is?

    Aldridge does it and he's a waste of space. :dunno:

    It's cause he's soft and his name is LaMarcus.

    Webster, Blake, Bayless, and Rudy don't have a FG between them. But yeah, lets blame Aldridge. :crazy:

    Part of LMA's problem is that he puts up numbers but never really seems to dominate when he does it ... the bigger problem is that he does it early but struggles late.

    I dunno, he's no star, but I still like him for what he is.

    He looked really passive early on, but OKC was really making an effort to deny him the ball, the second quarter was a lot better when Miller started getting things clicking and Nic started to draw so much attention.

    Blake is actually having a pretty decent game.

    So we start Blake for Batum instead of for Webster and that was.. an unfortunate decision.

    Aldridge has 9/4/6.

    Webster, Blake, Rudy, and Bayless are a combined 0/4/2.

    But yeah, let's blame Aldridge.

    Man I hate to see a guy get hurt, but it looks like Krstic did what Nate wouldn't with Martell -- take him out.
