Omer Asik wants another chance to slow LaMarcus Aldridge

It is exciting to know that McHale has a strategy at all tbh...

 

Both Omer and Dwight are more than capable of slowing him down, that's not the issue. This issue is how we can get Dwight or Omer in a position to guard him without sacrificing our rim protection and defensive rebounding by cross-matching, or shooting our offensive spacing in the foot by playing both together.

 

im happy that he seems bothered

 

just make sure the guards know they can't afford to leave any man on the perimeter open. stay on em.

 

Omer - 'give me adridge. i take soul'

DO IT!!!!!!

 

If i was asik I'd pull a Rick Mahorn and grab aldridge's ass every time he tries to back him down. Like a subtle ass grab that would startle LMA.

Portland looks like a team full of uptight dudes with lopez being their ring leader, I'm sure this strategy would be effective.

Hell if asik isn't up to i'd id have chandler do it.

 

He's hungry. He wants it. That's what I want to hear. **** it, give it to him.

 

Let LMA get shoot the 18 foot jumpers.. just keep him out of the paint. That way he can't get offensive boards

 

man i hope we can keep him beyond next year.

i'd honestly only move him if we had a chance at an all star type player.

 

if turk speaks, coaches should listen.

 

Asik is going to lock him down tonight.

 

wow Harden

 

Asik can't guard LMA better than anyone else.

 

Aldridge should be double teamed and have the ball forced out his hands. Portland gains their offensive rhythm from his scoring. Playing him one on one is a recipe for disaster.

 

Asik is making him work harder than TJ did for sure, but umm...23 points at the half. Howard, Asik, and TJ have no answer for this guy. The refs aren't letting us play him physical so he is just doing whatever he wants.
