wow! I was at the 127-90 rout over the bobcats today and I must say, Lamarcus was amazing... Also, I got to meet zach randolph after the game. Z-Bo's got this crazy diamond studded watch... im jealous.great game... we totally needed something like this. Zach called a players-only meeting the day before this game and I think it helped a lot. Zach is really stepping into this leadership role well lately. Hopefully, he can stop his off-court wierd stuff. (caught w/ gun in car??!! wha??)
Awesome to see LaMarcus have a game like this. I really like this kid, he's going to be a pretty good player in this league. Man, I really like the young core over in Portland. I'm a huge Brandon Roy fan, I really like LaMarcus Aldridge, Jarrett Jack is my boy, I like Sergio, Martell is progressing slowly but has potential, Outlaw is a freak athlete, and Z-Bo isn't that old at all. You guys have a nice future ahead of you.
Pretty impressive. Doing 30 points in 25 minutes really is a sign of what he can do. Shows his potential. For almost a 7 footer he has some great skill. I watched alot of him in college. He showed a lot that he can be a good player in the NBA. Pretty defensive.I really hope Blazers keep for along time. Which they probably will because thats why they traded for him
It's a fair good accomplishment by Aldridge but you have to relise the blazers were playing the bobcats and you have to know that the bobcats have very poor big men on there team besides okafor who was not playing in this game, so I really don't think it would of been hard to score a whole lot of points against the bobcats defense in this game. Still well done to lamarcus, he's going to be a great player in season's to come.
I don't really think all that much of Martell Webster, but I love Aldridge/Roy/Jack/Randolph. They just need some veteran leadership off the bench and in a couple of years this team could take off.I will now admit that I was completely wrong about LaMarcus Aldridge.

I definitely have always thought that Portland made a mistake taking Webster over Gerald Green, but hey - I can't say I'm complaining. :winkglasses: Webster's development has not been impressive at all, Gerald is twice the player he is right now.

Webster totally lacks confidence, thats his problem. If only the kid went to college, hed be amazing! Hes only 20 still, so heres hoping that he can shake it off and start to come around. PLEASE!
I love LaMarcus. I am a huge Longhorn fan and I wish that he was still there. He is extremely long, really athletic, and also has good footowork around the basket. Its really good to see him do well. He is going to be a hell of a player in 4 years.
I also admit I was wrong about LaMarcus - and I'm cheering for him to do well in the NBA. He's got great size to begin with, good touch on his shot, great shot blocker, really an improved rebounder.. It's good to see him doing so well.
