    the articles that come out of Portland are ridiculous. So his problem was that he was late for 5 minutes to take the bus and because he was careful of his health and wanted mri. LMAO

    there was an interview i saw with LMA describing with pinpoint accuracy how the blazers team plane charters map out…..with some of the players running card games, others sitting together in one clique, others together in the back…….and LMA would always sit by himself with headphones on and watch a movie.

    he came across as a real standup guy in the interview, if not a bit strange and reclusive. also, after watching that, it's very easy to see how he was impressed with the details in DM's presentation.

    Will LMA be on the resting program with the vets or will Pop make him do work?

    Should be fun watching him have to battle the bigs in the Southwest this season since Duncan won't contest a lot of those.

    Pop rested Kawhi often, I'm sure the same for LMA.

    He's been playing in the West his whole career. Divisions in the same conference make little difference in SoS. Teams play almost the same number of times against the same teams.

    Meh...was not worried about Blazers anyways. We were better than them after our acquisitions.

    The LMA to Spurs makes the Spurs even harder for us to beat them in a seven game playoff series.

    Yes...but Lma has always had a big beside him playing starters minutes every game which won't happen with Duncan resting and Splitter gone. A lot more lifting this time around unless SA address it before orig night. That was more my point I guess.

    I have a feeling that they will get a decent center after they let go of Splitter.

    I wonder why Aldridge did not consider Houston to be one of his final choices.
