    I know everybody doesn't enjoy these games, but I take them for what they are..... glorified street ball. Usually a small man's game, I doubt our boy LA puts up big numbers, but will be good to see a Blazer back out there representin' us!

    I was thinking about it earlier, his game doesnt really translate to a flashy streetball type game. I wonder what he'll do???

    Neither did Brandon's, but he was handling the ball. It all depends on if the guards look for LA running' the floor!

    debatable. he had a couple driving crossover layups through traffic that looked just as impressive as a flashy dunk.

    Not saying he couldn't handle him self in that situation just fine, just saying his normal style of play was more methodical.

    I don't think LA is going to go off tomorrow, but getting lobs at the rim from Nash and Paul is a strong possibility the way he runs the floor for a big.

    I take my post and delete it. I don't make bets. But I think Aldridge will do well.

    When Miller was here we were Lob City. Now Camby is the only one who looks to lob to LMA.

    having WNBA players in the all star activities is a waste of time. no one gives a fuck about them there. I'd rather have the ball boy be there instead.

    I didn't know Ray Felton was in the Shooting Stars competition for Team Orlando.

    He looks a lot like Dennis Scott for some reason, though.

    I believe Camby2Aldridge has the most alley oop dunks in the NBA this season. More than Paul to Griffin.
