    With everybody missing and the fact that were still playing good ball. It baffles me that people still find any opportunity they can to bash Nate.

    Bayless had done nothing, so I made that crack. Seconds after I clicked the post, he started his great streak. I reverse-jinxed him.

    Carlesimo was on the Raptor bench. He's a lifer in this league.

    37 and 10 for the L-Train. That one spinning fadeaway to the his left late was ridiculous!

    He carried us down the stretch, when we were making our comeback. He was the focal point of our offense and it paid off. The Raptors didn't seem to have a go-to guy.

    I thought Roy was the only closer on this team?

    30/10 becoming a common occurrence for our LA. Almost his 3rd 40pt night in 10 days.

    LA now averaging 28.5pts, 10rebs, 2asts, 2blks, 1.5stl on 56% FG, and 82% FT in about 41mpg, through 6 games in Feb.

    And Nic was huge this game, even if his shot was off. He hit some crucial buckets in the fourth, and contributed 7 rebounds, 4assists, and 4 blocks as well.

    Aldridge was great in the 2nd half, and in the 4th quarter he played good defense too. As I said earlier, he and Bargeoff cancelled each other out in the 3rd quarter.

    3 straight wins, baby! We can get 4 if we win on Sunday, but that'll be a bit tougher than this game, I think.

    Screw the All-Star campaign, those are MVP-caliber numbers.

    How often do you see a team reach 100 pts and more importantly get the win with only three players scoring more than 7 points? Crazy.

    LMA is fast becoming a great player. I always thought he was very similar to Bosh but he has very good post game.

    Hello. My name is LaMarcus Aldridge. You did not vote me. Prepare to die.

    Nothing to report. It was a dead 2 minutes for both teams. He didn't improve his clutch statistics that they keep nowadays.

    In the last 2 minutes, each team made only one FG (Miller and Bayless). We outscored them 6-2. All free throws were in the last 11 seconds. I want to see him win them in the last seconds like Roy.

    So glad we didn't trade Aldridge for Bosh.... or fucking Kevin Love.

    LaMarcus deserves about 100x more credit than Nate does. You could say Nate is "keeping the team together", but I don't buy it. Matthews, Miller & LaMarcus are prideful players, I don't think they'd give up. If LaMarcus wasn't playing his brains out, but we were winning due to great matchups, sub patterns & plays then maybe Nate would deserve more credit.
