    This is true, also.

    Better not let Batum see that though, he may get you banned for a personal attack.

    no freakin way....it's a team sport and these guys win or lose as a team. Any of the starters could have this impact on the court any given night, tonight it was Nico but Dame had a mediocre 3 qtrs without LA. Great 4th qtr though.

    LOL And then some.

    Batum's been rebounding like he found an incentive clause in his contract. :)

    Seriously: Batum does what he's told is needed, IMO. Lately, it's been rebounding. Tonight it was also scoring.

    Super. Glue.

    If he posts here, he knows he's my main 'mec'.

    Good game, Nico!

    Saying Lillard and Batum are better w/o Aldridge is pointless

    Just like it's pointless to say Kevin Durant is better w/o Westbrook

    The Blazers need Aldridge if they want to be taken seriously in the playoffs

    The Thunder need Westbrook if they want to compete for a championship

    Also, the Hornets suck.

    Rolo and actually Earl impacted the turn around that sparked the run.

    More like, some people can't take the constant negativity from a small group of posters. Where is that rookie who lectured us all about posting here? You'd think a poster who has written at least one farewell opus a month since joining here would actually show up for a game thread after the stunt he pulled here a few days ago.

    Or, it may not be all he cared about, and he's been playing hurt.

    Nic is really, really good at adjusting to Rolo in the post or Joel. He makes both of those guys better and picks up the slack when they need help on the boards.

    Robin has also made LaMarcus and Nic better at rebounding because he's good at boxing out or stifling the opposing center and creates room in the paint.

    Yes, it refreshing that the Blazers have a center who takes up bodies when rebounding this year, unlike last year, when Hickson was boxing out his own teammates for rebounds. :cheers:

    Once again, the blazers look better without LaVagina.
