    Just hang in there; I don't think Aldridge can keep it up in the second half.

    The difference between San Antonio and Portland on offense is night and day. Everything looks easy and deliberate for the Spurs. For the Blazers everything is hard and helter skelter.

    We should be down 30. Pop is probably livid.

    Well, it helps when you have more than 2 offensive players in the game at one time.

    To be fair, at least the last one was really great D. Just made a good shot.

    So - I think I can deduce that Stotts must only double players he's previously had on his team before....

    This would be a very good game to initiate a double team. We did once that half and it worked. Surely we won't press our luck.

    LaMarcus keeps getting to his spot and is completely dialed in from there, no matter how good or bad the defense is so far. Will the Blazers adjust in the second half? Naaaaaahhhhh!

    They did adjust in the second quarter though. Started sending a double team if Aldridge had his back to the basket.
    If he's in triple threat and hitting off balance shots like he did against Davis. He's unstoppable. Just ask Houston.

    No kidding. The disrespect the player with the 10th most FTA per game gets is horrible
