LMA plays within the flow of games, he can never single-handedly take over a game. This game proved it. Trail Blazers are starting to get exposed by them not being able to close games without Lillard.

Player A misses a few shots in crutch time when he's owned the Thunder all season long. Gets 29/16 in the game. For the month of January is getting 29/14/3/1.4 while shooting 90% from the free throw line.

LMA is good but not great. He can't take over games the way Dwight does. Not only that, if his jumpshot is off he's useless.

Dwight on the other hand can have an off night offensively but will still impact the game with his elite rebounding and rim protection. This isn't even close tbh.

This is LMA this season. He's taking way too many jumpers. He'll never be a top player if he stays around the perimeter. Even though he's a poor man's Dirk in the post, he needs to make something happen down low to become a dominant player that is worthy of getting double-teamed.

Dwight doesn't get the ball a lot at the top of the key like LMA does, so it's hard to judge. Turnovers, yea, I'll give LMA that, he protects the ball better than Dwight.

But foul trouble, that can be easily blamed on the lack of perimeter defense by Houston's backcourt. Dwight contests every shot that comes to him, which is something that can be respected.

[33teeth]

I'm honestly a bit surprised at the number of LMA stans that have appeared out of nowhere. Dude was pretty much just "good" until this year. This year he's playing great, but his numbers are equaled or bettered by guys like Cousins (who is 5 years younger).

Yet we're supposed to think he's the best big in the game? I don't buy it. I think he's good. And he's in his prime so he's really good this year. He'll drop back to "good" soon enough and history will judge him as... well... good. Only memorable to Blazer fans.

I respect LMA, but the amount of stans is ridiculous. Look at the number of Blazer fans on ISH last year to this year that constantly post, it's increased drastically.

LMA is a good player. He's a top 3 PF. He's just not as good as Blazer fans state, he is nowhere near a MVP Candidate.

There aren't really any LMA "stans" on this board. No one cares about the Blazers, no one cares about Aldridge. The only ones who prop him up are Blazer fans themselves who have come out of the woods because they think their team is relevant again.

Salty Laker fans will do anything to bash Howard, that includes overrating LMA. It's gotten kinda pathetic actually.

The general consensus is that Howard > Aldridge though. The neutral population agrees.

I'll be interested to see how Portland plays in the playoffs against teams that actually try. Robin Lopez cannot guard Dwight and Duncan, he also can't protect the rim from CP3, TP, KD, Curry, Phoenix's guards, Harden, Lin, Westbrook, etc..

If the Playoffs started today it would be Golden State vs. Portland. David Lee would average 20-10 in rout of a 6 game series win.

In their career meetings with each other, their stats are really similar. Lee has LMA beat in rebounds and FG% though. Bogut would abosolutly make LMA a jumpshooter if they faced each other in the playoffs. I'll take Lee 8/10 if I wanted to build a franchise around. That 2/10 comes from Lee's lack of interior defense and his lack of size. Other than that, David Lee is someone who needs to be doubled, especially if he's constantly getting touches.

Howard's prime > LMA, but LMA right now > Howard.
Howard's career >>>>>>>>> Current Trail Blazers

LMA is having a pretty good season, he is averaging 20-10 (even though he's playing with a bad rebounder in Robin Lopez). The only thing I question is the fact that he doesn't get double-teamed enough to make a huge impact on the Blazers. He needs to stop shooting jumpers and start living in the post.

As far as impact on the game: Dwight > LMA

[BlazerRed]

Lmao don't u know that it's not %100 up to the fans? Do some research before u start an argument

What it should be is coaches can remove one player and replace them with someone else. Goodbye Lin, the Asian poster-boy, hello LMA the MVP candidate :applause:

Doesn't matter, LMA was an all-star last year, and will be again this year. If he was playing on a big market team from a big city like Houston he'd be starting. Portland is tiny, and he isn't a flashy player. He's not the type to get a lot of votes. Maybe he should have been born with squinty eyes?

It doesn't matter if you're not a spotlight player, neither is Tim Duncan but he gets noticed doesn't he?

Tim Duncan's a very well known guy though. LMA's been in a small market his entire career, originally meant to be a 3rd option on the team, and then his team was losing for a few years, but now that his team's winning he's starting to get recognized, though he's for the most part the same player he was before (increased scoring and rebounding by a little).


Howard's career >>>>>>>>> Current Trail Blazers

LMA is having a pretty good season, he is averaging 20-10 (even though he's playing with a bad rebounder in Robin Lopez). The only thing I question is the fact that he doesn't get double-teamed enough to make a huge impact on the Blazers. He needs to stop shooting jumpers and start living in the post.

As far as impact on the game: Dwight > LMA


LMA's having a great season. Sure his TS% might not be amazing, but he's extremely consistent and is averaging 24/11. He's Portland's go to guy, and when he gets doubled a lot of opportunities are opened for his teammates to score. He's more valuable to his team than Dwight is to his own this season, as Portland fans suggest :confusedshrug:

Well I'm sure real fans of LMA have been backing him for years before this as well. He is acting like people calling LMA a top PF is a new thing when I have seen it for years throughout the net.

There's a difference between not posting and staying silent as to posting consistently and not recognizing or acknowledging a "top 5 pf or player". I didn't post at all but I still stayed silent as opposed to blazers fans that have been posting but never acknowledged their "top 5 player", all of a sudden they wanna put him up so high when they weren't doing that awhile ago. Just cause I wasn't posting doesn't mean I wasn't reading

Pretty sure Portland fans have been praising LMA for awhile. Almost all of them were against trading him in the offseason, I think

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Yes he is he juss had a bad 4th Dwight had numerous of those
Everytime LMA shot a midrange or posted up on Perkins or Ibaka i was scared that nikkas MONEY from there and he always kill OKC

It's hard to argue the case for a top 5 player when he's in a small market and his team isn't winning. Plus, he was a 21/9 guy. Now he's a 24/11 guy on a top team in the league. The statistical jump and the team's jump can give recognition :confusedshrug:

He might not be top 5 statistically, but he's still putting up great numbers and is very valuable to his team. If he just worked in the post more, which he can, he'd be more efficient...


http://www.nbacircle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Damian-Lillard1.jpg

LMA's definitely more consistent as of now from what I've seen. Just looking at their game logs would probably show that

LMA has absolute been playing great. He'll be in the All-Star game no doubt. Is he a top 5 player this season no. I'll take the Big 3 SFs, CP3, and Curry over him.

Yeah, I wouldn't put him in the top 5 players, but top 5 in MVP voting probably because all of the best players' teams either don't have good or good enough records, and LMA's having a good enough season where his team's great record can put him over some people in voting IMO

Blazer fan here. When asked, I've consistently have put Aldridge as a top PF (and he has improved this year which explains some putting him higher than you have seen in the past). Sometimes Blazer fans choose not to be an annoying broken record like other posters on ISH just to prop up a single player.

Btw, I may not post again in this thread because I don't care to draw attention to RightToCensor's constant agenda threads.

Being hot for one playoff series and doing it against the Rockets doesn't make you a top 5 nba player. Aldridge is clearly in a groove, but it's not like he can keep this up even if it is Houston. They played better defense and he made a lot of tough (low percentage) shots...if the regular season or the past is any indication that isn't going to continue. Most teams get better defensively in the playoffs...I don't think you can say that about the Rockets. This team desperately needs a new coach and a defensive minded culture.

I agree. But this is still a great bump!

[IncarceratedBob]

Umm lol Aldridge isn't a top 5 player, he isn't even close. Just look at his body of work throughout the season, subpar rebounder for his size and position, he's inefficient most nights. He is a fringe top 10-15 player who had 2 great games.

The fact that Aldridge has taken tough shots for years instead of just open threes and free throws gives him an advantage in the playoffs of anything. People that look at Aldridge's personal scoring efficiency and judge him off of that are missing the big picture and blind to the advantage having a player that can take those shots gives you. Anyone that's watched a lot of Aldridge knows that what he's doing isn't really that crazy, the shots he's making are not that unusual. He's just doing it better and being more aggressive like he needs to in the playoffs.

Defenses have trouble with players like this. Even if hes shooting at a lower clip than he could if he lived in the paint he opens up so many opportunities for others by making defenses worry about the mid range game.

On a serious note the fact that even now people are downplaying how good of a player LMA is. Arguably the best PF in the league (BG), and more of an impact player than anybody other than the obvious ones you would put before him.

Taking and making those shots are two very different concepts. Aldridge took the most shots on the team by far, averaged the most points, and was by far their most inefficient player. I don't need stats to know this, I've seen him play for years. He's Rasheed Wallace without the high percentage and unstoppable post game when he chooses to go there. I mostly missed the first game, but watched this 2nd one and he was forced into a lot of shots that history has shown he won't make regularly. The Rockets are in trouble because of their incompetence and having to play a team that matches up with them well. It doesn't hurt that unless you are in the Clippers/Warriors series a touch foul isn't going to be called, so Harden is a bearded useless **** out there.

I'm not even a Houston fan, but even I want them to fire Mchale. This team was built to do something and Mchale should have been fired when they signed Dwight. He doesn't have any idea how to create any defense and doesn't seem to have any assistant coaches to help him. They need a pop, sloan, brown to correct this ****ing school yard playground Mchale has created. You were a terrible GM who because of your cheating ruined the Twolves and you are a coach who is ruining another team. **** off and let us just admire you for what you did when you actually played a long, long time ago.

"Regularly" is a matter of context. If you watch him then you know tough shots like that are nothing new or unexpected for him. He does it every. single. game. I'll put it this way, Aldridge taking those shots is WAY better than most players in the league taking those shots. He forces teams to guard a spot on the floor that they don't have to worry about nearly as much against a lot of other teams. Aldridge has been the key to the Blazers offense this year.

Yes, him shooting those kinds of shots hurts his efficiency but he's good enough at them to turn it into a weapon that he can consistently use all game. Say what you want about it but teams have to cover it, he's one of the few players in the league that turns a long 2 into a legit weapon. If you don't understand why it's ok for him to not have typical "big man" efficiency then not sure what else to say.

The long 2, awkward dribbling spin moves and "lucky" shots are how Aldridge plays every night. And he absolutely can destroy you inside as he has shown many times. He plays where he does for a reason though. Blazers have one of the best offenses in the league and he is why.

[GimmeThat]

I don't think he is. Portland has simply exposed Rockets for not being a contender. He still has the Spurs, Durant/Ibaka, to a lesser extent Griffin/Jordan to get through. Of course, he makes it past them, he makes a legitimate argument.

He's proved to be the best player from his class, a legitimate argument for Top 2 PF in the league, which means he's at least top 10, and closer to the top 5.


I think he could be, a few conference finals/finals appearance, and fans are going to have a tough time arguing against it.

He's done pretty well against those teams this year. None of them have indicated that they can really shut him down, even if it won't be as bad as Houston.

[GimmeThat]

And if any team's plan is to let Aldridge GET HIS, he's going to have to average at a much higher ppg than 23 to help his team win.

not trying to argue with you but Aldridge avg 11.1 rebounds for the season. For someone his size, what is he supposed to avg? if 11.1 subpar, i hate to see what good is for you. But I do agree with you, not top 5 but i would put him there as currently my top at pf. BG can put up some numbers but still needs some experience. If the game is on the line, i rather much put the ball into Aldridges hands over BG anyday.
