    Lamarcus has been.... dare I say... Duncanesque as of late.

    Very good win. Nice to see the bench pick up the slack for Miller and Matthews, and LMA had yet another All-Star-level game.

    The Blazers really spread out the scoring. 7 with 10+ points and Matthews had 9.

    Patty turned the tide, but at this point LMA is nothing short of a star - his post moves have gone from rarely used to friggin outstanding!

    Props to Nate for sticking with the bench unit+LA in the 4th.

    I was seriously laughing out loud at that Up and Under lefty layup he had on Jordan Hill late. That was just such a beastly, post move, with amazing footwork.

    When did LA learn that move?!

    But we're not battling the Jazz over that last playoff spot. The Rockets know it's either us or them that will get the 8th spot, so these games carry double the signficance.

    Big thing here is that we now have tiebreakers against both PHX and HOU.

    Aldridge looked so freakin' dominant tonight. Nobody could stop him. Hill, Patterson, Scola, and Miller were all baffled by LaMarcus' post moves.

    Really? Lowry got abused by Mills, and he was the only Houston starter with a negative +/- for the game.

    I really liked the move to keep Patty in there over Miller. Really hated how Miller was trying to go 1 on 1 when Aldridge was killing it. Unless your name is Derrick Rose or something I don't want my PG going 1 on 1.

    Miller hit shots early in the half when no one else was hitting. Patty was doing well so I had no problem with him in to finish.

    Winning in Utah is better than winning in Houston. And don't sell us short. Not too late to challenge Utah for the division if we keep playing like this.

    A strategy destined to fail. Aldridge was beasting and Miller was calling his own number and not getting the ball into Aldridge. I didn't really like it.

    Besides, the more shooters on the floor the better it is for Aldridge. Just another example of Miller's lack of shooting hurting the Blazers. You need to be able to space the floor.
