    We dodged a bullet on that one. A blessing in disguise.

    Stop being haters, LMA tripled his scoring in the 2nd half of last nights game. No one on either team could match that increase.

    Being the greatest Blazer ever was so much easier.

    Dude went from being the best Blazer ever to going to be completely forgotten by all Nba fans as soon as he retires.

    In Portland, he just had to live up to the Viktor Khryapa legacy. In San Antonio, he has to live up to the...Boris Diaw legacy. Much harder.

    I just can't help loving the fact that Spurs fans HATE him.

    What is hilarious is that Pop makes Aldridge play center...something he refused to do in Portland and claimed as the reason he wouldn't extend his contract early...then they went out and got Rolo to please him.....Gasol isn't Rolo..Lamarcus looks hesitant, awkward and out of synch most of the time with the Spurs..even shots he's making look ugly.

    Two of their main pieces are out and the opposing teams defense are even more zeroed in on him. Dubs are like, let anybody else score but LA. Still one of the best Bfs in the game. This is what bugs me about this plate. Hate/Love for a team or something blinds your common sense. It's hilarious. Playing like shit, sure....... This is on some JinxSpeed level type shit.

    Lamarcus had 6 pts and about 2 boards in game one...he hasn't been allstar level since he left Portland and he doesn't look confident like he did in Portland....doesn't matter if you're a Blazer fan or not....check out the Spurs fansites...they hate him

    Nope. You should read what I posted above. When McCaw doubled Aldridge, Green was pissed because there is no need to double Aldridge. The idea that they're swarming him or something is completely untrue--Green was playing him in single coverage and the Warriors were locking down everyone else. That's the problem for San Antonio right now--without Leonard, they have no one who can reliably get a bucket or even draw help defense. Aldridge is supposed to be that guy--he simply isn't.

    Also, I should note that I don't hate Aldridge. I liked him when he was here and I thought it was entirely his right to depart in free agency. I just think he's declining into a meh player.

    Oh well if the FANS hate somebody......... I can barely read what OUR fans post let alone another teams. What if they have like 10 Jinxspeeds over there? His numbers have gone down because of the system and the way Pop uses him, not that he has lost anything. You understand that?

    Not even. If LMA were to somehow magically be a Blazer again he would hate it. This is Dame's team. The organization would not cater to him like they have in the past. He would be at most the 4th most popular Blazer. He would pout. I've heard first hand from people you know how the franchise kissed LMA's ass. LMA would be miserable here and that would have a huge effect on his play.

    Get on the horn and find out what RC Buford would want in exchange for him. Crabbe & 20 for Aldridge sounds fair to me.

    LA couldn't even live up to the Tiago Splitter legacy.
