Interesting.

 

Then there's........

I'm not gonna take too much on this preseason game because he had one practice and maybe a little rusty, but... He was having a real tough time scoring in the paint. Hopefully this gets worked Out. We need him to dominate the post.

 

Smitty just predicted LMA will make the AS game this season.

 

Orange juice.

Any up to date with current science nutritionist will tell you most fruit juice is not very healthy and should be consumed sparingly.

 

At least the comments are about 90% "GTFO" or "LMAO"

 

I am really rooting for Aldridge to be able to be the guy, without being the guy like Roy was

 

I like how the OP explains in the second sentence why it's a stupid idea and the other teams wouldn't do it. LOL Flakers would instantly be the best team in the league, so there's that.

 

Hmmm..........

Is this a veiled slight on Roy?

 

Aldridge is on my shit list after reading that

Fuck him

 

Miller and Roy complained a lot about wanting to start.

 

We need more shooters around him. Right now we only have one above average shooter in the first-unit (Wes) and I think that's going to make life harder for LMA in the paint.

I think it's only a matter of time until we get Nic back as the starting SF with his shooting.

 

Totally.

 

Isn't Felton supposed to be a FAR better shooter than Miller?

Camby says LaMarcus is the best PF in the game.

Regardless who he's referencing (Rudy, Roy, Miller).. The more important thing is that he's spot on. The 2011-2012 Blazers are the definition of Team. Not one Superstar player, but an All-Star cast. As one unit this is the most well rounded squad we've had in YEARS. Very excited to see what they create together this season.

LaMarcus is The Man, couldn't ask for a better representative for Rip City.

 

I actually like that he's bring more vocal. Regardless if it's about Roy, Rudy and/or miller, he isn't afraid to speak his mind. That is being a leader.

 

I don't think it is a slight. It is only the truth. Last year with Roy in and out and Miller there were three players who could be the guy at the end of games. Roy and Miller had their problems on the court for two years. I don't think LaMarcus is trying to slight anyone or insult them, he is just noting how this team differs in certain regards.
