    ah I see, we are just thinking LA would be used differently. I think Stotts would have to move LA more towards a center position and have him in the paint on D guarding Howard but if you think he would out near the 3 point line then what your saying makes a lot more sense to me.

    If LMA were playing he would be 0-15 shooting and the Blazers would be down by 47pts.

    It has been a nice start to the year so this ass beating won't be that big of a deal. Too bad Batum still has games like this.

    Gotcha. I guess we're spoiled with RoLo being an ironman last year, but I can't remember the last time LMA was rotated onto a true center on D, or the "rim protector" role. Davis and Duncan were both LMA-sized PFs...

    King?

    It doesn't happen much, LA did it a few times vs Houston in the playoffs for stretches so thats why I thought it might happen this game.

    they're talking about "impeding the progress" and "that's a really bad call" without talking about Beverley extending his arm.
