    I'm trying to argue against the opinion that he'd have much difference at all right now on the game as it's currently being played. Of course you'd rather have him on the floor than Wright/Kaman/Leonard. But Wright/Leonard/Kaman have magically not been as sucktastic as normal. They're 5-9 with 17 points. Their D isn't what's allowing Harden/Brewer to have 41 so far.

    Pretty damn close. our backups to the superstar power forward aren't the problem. Do I think they'd shoot 55% on 1.8pps every game for the rest of the season. Hell no. But we're down 20 because of stuff that he wouldn't be part of anyway.

    Whoa buddy... LMA has star status but not superstar. It's not like he's a 2 time player of the week this season.

    Because they have to guard Aldridge on defense. Who on that team can guard Aldridge right now? Maybe our defense wouldn't be as good, but our offense would be a damn site better. If you're arguing against that, then I don't know what to tell you.

    It isn't just about points on the board. It's about how the Rockets have to defend him. It opens things up for Lillard and Wes and Nic. Without Aldridge they can single cover Freeland or Meyers or whoever we put out there. We aren't getting the double teams that we're used to. It changes the entire scope of how we play when we have Joel Freeland out there instead of Aldridge.

    WE HAD AN AVERAGE OFFENSIVE HALF! 46% FG, 36% 3, 53 points. Our PFs combined for 17 points on 5-9 shooting. how much more offense do you think we would have?

    If Motiejunas was going off you'd have an argument. If our backup PFs were playing like shit you'd have an even better argument. How anyone could say that LMA being out is the problem is beyond my comprehension.

    holyshit thats a DIRTY play by the rockets guy who I can't pronounce. How the fuck do they keep that as a flagrant for us, that just shows how bad the officiating has been.

    And on offense we're having a slightly-above-average game so far. It's our wing/perimeter/transition D that's getting fucking torched.
