    forget offense let's get some defense.....

    Asik crashes the boards hard....so LMA wouldn't need to spend energy boxing out Asik and grab some boards??

    Well, somebody posted it from SportsVu and I just went back and re-watched the game and tracked all his shots and verified it.

    No one expected him to play like this. Even Blazer fans are stunned by his performances.

    yup....he literally was in god mode....catching the ball from so far out...usually you want to start a bit closer..but LMA - nope...

    give me a few open jumpers to get me going and after that it was 2011 Dirk!

    Was pretty awesome to be fair....

    Dwight with his dunks and LMA with his jumpers

    Portland is a match up nightmare lol and so are the Rockets.
    The difference is......Portland stars are out playing our stars.

    If Harden/Howard play to their full capabilities, then the Rockets can still win the series.

    Problem is......with Hardens's playoff history.......I just don't feel that he can play 4 great games in a series

    LMA怀highlights game 2


    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/pMFV7WFtHm0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    I counted LMA made 7 baskets against Asik and was fouled by Asik twice leading to FTs. I call your 6/14 facts ... not really "facts".

    Asik is our best LMA Defender,don't get why people still say Asik is not good at it.

    No more energy than he would need to block out anyone else. It's not like Asik is Dennis Rodman or something.

    6-7 vs Dwight
    5-6 vs Jones (and we saw what happened in game 1)
    6-14 vs Asik

    What is so hard to understand?

    I think people don't understand that LMA hit about 10 ridiculous shots in that game that were simply unguardable.

    So they are short circuiting and suggesting that Garcia or Harden could do a better job.

    Do you have not eyes? If you need eye glasses, go get a pair. Gee.

    Since you are too lazy to see the vid, let me lay it out for you

    LMA made baskets head to head against Asik 7 times at these time marks
    0.44
    1.12
    1.29
    1.36
    2.47
    2.53
    3.05

    Asik shot fouled him 3 times at these time marks
    0.55
    1.24
    1.46

    We had a small line up with Asik man the middle (no Dwight), LMA scored twice at these time marks
    3.19
    3.32 (Asik was covering LMA)

    What more do you want?

    Is there a Asik fan boy club I am missing. LMA scored freaking 22 points in 20 min or so when Asik was guarding him. Wtf is yall point?

    The thing is Dmo showed he was a good to very good defender in the post earlier. Instead of nurturing it and improving on it they ignored developing this guy in practice. Dmo has the urge to go out there and defend, let him. Please...

    That doesn't mean Asik did a bad job right?
