    I thought we would adjust defensively for LMA, guy is still unstoppable.

    It looks really good right now but Blazers are winning this quarter. Ugh.

    asik is making him work for those shots, nothing more you can ask for. Eventually those jumpers aren't going fall for him

    At this point, and Asik and Howard have been playing great defense, you make LMA beat you. I'd rather not have multiple Blazers heating up.

    Cant hate on Aldridge.

    He is my favorite non-Rockets player.

    You can't defend LMA better than that, he won't make all of his shots.

    Is Alridge the new Dirk? Asik was right in his face for god's sake.

    Asik is playing solid D. About as good as anyone can play without fouling. LMA is just on a roll.

    We are hedging the risk to LMA because we have 2 of the best defenders in the league that can match up with him. We know where the shots will come from, even if they may be made at higher clip than wanted. Turned a chaotic situation into one you see coming.

    How many jumpers can LMA hit? Ive never seen someone hit so many jumpers form the post. he never ****ing misses.

    Dwight should have more trips to the line. LMA is getting more calls and he is 20 feet from the basket.

    If things don't work out in Portland, you're always welcome in Houston Aldridge :p

    I kinda agree, as long as Asik makes him work, let him shoot those contested twos.

    I'd be worried about one of their shooters going off ALONG with LMA then we are dead. If he wants to take all of their shots then let him.

    look at the calls he is getting. He lowered his shoulder into asik who was flat footed and str8 up and down - and bam - lma shoots free throws.

    You honestly have to just deny Aldridge the ball.
