    The only way that would work is if people "turn their backs" on LA. Maybe we can make that a movement but I doubt it'll pick up steam.

    That was a top notch Aldridge burn. Well done, sir.

    I actually think this is a good idea. I honestly don't think LaMarsha's fragile ego could handle silence. Boos would probably make him laugh, as that is what he will expect. Total silence would blow his tiny little mind.

    yeah, but the dork blazer bandwagon fans will probably cheer and it'll go down in history as a "mixed" reaction. some kind of chants would be good but again you can't organize that on a large scale.

    instead of players throwing T shirts to the homecrowd, the homecrowd should throw Aldridge jerseys at him during warmups

    I think it'd be fun to make it an annual thing, where we give #12 to guys that we're upfront about not keeping around (summer league invites etc.), your Brendan Haywoods & Mike Millers would've been prime examples to don #12!:smiley-yes: IF this were Star Trek... u can think of the wearers of #12 as our "Red Shirts!:wook:"

    Do you think that was part of it? He could have been #1 on the books for maybe 8 years tops before Dame replaces him, so why not just leave and try for a ring instead?

    I just think LA struggles with the alpha male role and needs a father figure to make decisions..it all worked out. Dame is gregarious..he needs no help taking control..he'll become the greatest Blazer ever and LA will be a Buck Williams type guy in the history books

    Oh man, please don't compare LaMarsha to Buck. Williams was a class act, start to finish, and brought us much closer (twice) to a ring than Aldridge. A better comparison might be Sydney Wicks. All the talent in the world, with nice stats but ultimately a prima donna pussy. His records didn't stand long either.
