[RoundMoundOfReb]

MVP candidate so far this season. Right up there with George, James, Durant, Paul.

[imnew09]

He's coming to the Lakers.

Gasol + Nash for LMA!

[pauk]

He just went way up in my MVP ladder.... 2nd best record in the NBA and he is their best player, impactful on both ends.... averages after this game 24 ppg, 10 rpg... so why tha heck not... :)

[iTare]

Anyways...Lets talk about LaMarcus Aldridge. He was beasting and feasting on the OKC bigs. Do you guys think he can lead this Blazers team to a deep playoff run?

[TheCorporation]

[fsvr54]

Can't wait for Millsap vs Aldridge.

It all depends on matchups

If they get matched with Phoenix in the first round....:lol

Portland, 15-1 against everyone else, 1-2 against Phoenix :applause:

[chazzy]

Unusually inefficient this year

[moe94]

Unusually inefficient this year
Efficiency is nice, by dominance is great.

[Rose'sACL]

Unusually inefficient this year
his shots were missing for a few games but he is making them again for a few games now. it will rise after a few more games. he shot 20% 4-20 against chicago which made a big dent.

[chazzy]

Yeah. He has a weak free throw rate though

[no pun intended]

Should be the frontrunner for MVP right now.

[R.I.P.]

I always felt him and Bosh were better than Love or Griffin. The more versatile skillset and probably the best PF of the post TD/Dirk/KG/Amare generation. Seems he finally makes good on his promise. About time. Unfortunately it won

[iTare]

LMA my nikker :bowdown: Dude has wanted to win for a while, and now they have a competitive team the dude is playing extra hard. Playing SO good :rockon:
A good year to be a Blazers fan. Congrats man, hope they keep it up.:cheers:

[BlazerRed]

A good year to be a Blazers fan. Congrats man, hope they keep it up.:cheers:
:party: :cheers:

[Dubs510]

and he wanted to be traded ...:lol

[Go Getter]

In Utah? :coleman:
:roll: Definitely not.

[R.I.P.]

and he wanted to be traded ...:lol

Doubt that. He always denied it. When has Aldridge ever shown himself to be a troublemaker?

[Go Getter]

Yeah, I am from the 'hood' part of salt lake. Surprisingly diverse.
Please stop you're making my stomach hurt:oldlol: :roll: :oldlol:

[iTare]

Please stop you're making my stomach hurt:oldlol: :roll: :oldlol:
I went to West high and East.... You don't think I've met a LaMarcus?

[k0kakw0rld]

BEST PF IN THE GAME :bowdown: :applause: I'm sold!
Kevin Love took some vacation I guess :confusedshrug:

[VIntageNOvel]

should have drafted drummond,
twin tower drummond-LMA, the new timmy d-admiral :bowdown:
and you can easily find a serviceable PG in this loaded era

[Legends66NBA7]

Always was underrated. Toronto ****ed up big time in the 2006 draft with their picks. Picked Bargnani over LMA and a host of other players they could have taken #1. Also took Joey Graham over Danny Granger. :facepalm

That's why I never understand this obsession of tanking that Raptor fans always cling towards. As if something as magically changed over the years that will make us draft correctly from a year by year basis.

[DStebb716]

I've always said he's one of the best players in the NBA. Always thought he was so terribly underrated. Glad to see that Portland has finally found success.

His numbers haven't really changed much. His shooting numbers are down, even. I always would have and always will take him over Kevin Love.

[50_40_90_]

his shots were missing for a few games but he is making them again for a few games now. it will rise after a few more games. he shot 20% 4-20 against chicago which made a big dent.

It's not all about stats... people these days focus too much on them... real basketball isn't fantasy basketball.

The real stat that game, if you wanna play stats, was +/-

Aldridge was +4 and Blazers won by 3

[fpliii]

I've been a bit of a hater, but he's a beast.

OT - Is superdonk from ESPN/AngerSports over here?

[Go Getter]

Stop it stop it stop it....I can't take it anymore:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

8 though? You made it seem like you knew all kinda black people out here and LaMarcus was a common name. It isn't. I bet I know more black people in Utah than you; my Fb profile is over 2k friends [mostly from Chicago]. I typed LaMarcus in the search bar and I found 3 total people named LaMarcus and one of them is Aldridge:roll:

I never understood how the +/- stuff works in boxscores..


How does Durant go 33/7 and get a -6 rating? :confusedshrug:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

While he was on the court the opposing team scored 6 more points than the thunder did.

It essentially is how good your team does while they are on the floor. So if you only counted the game while Durant was on the floor, the Thunder would have lost by 6. Since they lost by 7, that means the Thunder were outscored by 1 with Durant on the bench. If you only look at the time while Aldridge was on the floor, the Blazers would have won by 4. So in total, Blazers were +4 with aldridge and +3 with him on the bench, thus they won by 7.

Lol. I do know all kinda black people out here. Maybe eight was an exaggerated number but I've met a good amount of Lamar's and some of their names are some sort of variation of LaMarcus or similar to it. Maybe spelled with an "e". Also I don't appreciate you trying to clown on me.

[Go Getter]

You are friends with LaMarcus Aldridge :eek:
No, we must have a friend in common...it was the general search bar. The only big name athlete I am friends with is Troy Polamalu.

I wasn't trying to clown you were exaggerating. You admitted it like a man and clarified a bit so it's all love man.


*And you [WE] live in Utah...you haven't met a good amount of black people man be real. You may need to travel more.

Ah, thanks guys :cheers: Will rep If I can

OP just meets the same guy over and over, and is afraid to assume that they are the same person out of fear of being accused of thinking all black people look alike.
