    24/11 is LMA's average for the season. This is an average night for LMA. It took an average night from LMA to get you on the bandwagon?

    8 shots in the paint vs. 7 jumpers is NOT an average night. Not close.

    Edit: 67% FG%. Not close to average. However, 2-7 on his J's (28%) is a bit below average. IIRC, the only ones he made were the wide-open ones?

    They're doing an LMA montage right now...all of his paint shots and the steal/dunk.

    FFS

    Let it go. Or, at least save it until the Blazers don't win the title, so you can do your "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" routine.

    Yet the team is up by 30, in large part do to spacing of the offense and wide open shots for other players. Do you actually understand basketball outside of advanced stats? Have you even ever played the game?

    You're welcome to ignore the thread. Some people can't take their unverified opinions thrown back in their face, I guess. :cheers:

    Shit, I knew I was missing something. And you're making my point. When LMA takes over half his shots in the paint, there's still magically enough spacing to get enough drives and dunks and open shots to beat a team by fucking 30. Why the personal attacks?

    Why are we even still dissing on LMA? Is it because BfromWA is a troll?

    You win. LMA is terrible and isn't even the MVP of this team. TRADE HIM NOW!!!! (entering Brian's Shit Your Pants mode).

    That stopped after the Robinson trade on draft night, and especially after the Lopez trade July 7. Sarcasm aside, when will you admit there's something to this?

    Please cite the made-up stat. The OP is correct. You clearly can't add Dec and Jan stats correctly.

    How does he manage to shoot 50% for December and January combined when he didn't shoot over 50% in either month?

    I did in Post 4. I even linked the official stats nba.com stats page. And the game logs. Don't know what else I can do for you.

    You can't verify I'm a Blazer Priestess, nor have I claimed to be. But you're welcome to think so. It's flattering... I guess. *shrugs*

    Why do you feel the need to "throw" anything in anyone's face, and then express anger and indignation to a relatively innocuous stat in the OP?

    Since you opened the door by christening me with insults, I think it's fair to say that IF you are "on the L-Train" I suspect it would be the screaming baby that everyone just wish would shut up. ;)

    You said LA isn't the MVP of the Blazers. Make your point. I'm still waiting. *crickets*

    Your counter argument is 1 incorrect statistic, quoting other people's reasoning with "QFT lol Brian doesn't get b-ball guys", and taking OTHER PEOPLE'S word on the fact that Brian "MAY" have a track record as a LA pessimist. Soooo, you're lazy in that regard, and you haven't bothered to post any sort of actual argument now that you've been called out, you just keep taking pot shots at Brian. Explain to everyone here(use your words buttercup) why YOU believe LA taking long 2s is a good thing rather than questioning someone's agenda.
