Games like this always remind of how Lamarcus Aldridge has a claim to the hall of fame when it’s all said and done :whoa:



A lot of Power Forwards May have had much better peaks but a lot of those guys were injured. You can’t tell me there’s 20 better and And as consistent and productive for this amount of years:hubie:

I was thinking about this. I am not a fan of LMA...he is moody...he comes into the season out of shape EVERY YEAR...if he can't play his way he goes into the tank...attitude wise he is pretty much melo...although he seems to get along WAY better with Derozan and White than he did with Kawhi but thats another story for another thread...

BUT...

Dude constantly shyts on Draymond, AD, and Gobert...all touted as great post defenders...

I don't know how to rank him overall but he is on that "can be unstoppable on offense" group where if you let him get going forget it you don't have a chance in hell of even cooling him off..

The problem is that he is such an atrocious passer that when he doubled it rarely leads to open shots...if he was a better passer...he'd be the player you would want Giannis to turn into...

Fringe hall of famer...if he gets a ring before retiring he is definitely in...if he plays like this 2 more years he is probably in...

AND remember he plays with a heart condition that two years ago had people wondering how much time he had left...

Demar was ok against the Warriors...but over this winning streak dude has been the perfect number 2...

21 6 and 6 on over 50% shooting...

He even knows to defer to White to close games when he got a better matchup or the hot hand...

Pop has made him at least an average defender now...something I thought was all but impossible...

If the Raptors had the Derozan the spurs have right now they never would have needed to trade him...

Refs are favoring Portland, the difference between me and 90% of the coli is, I'm unbiased enough to admit when there's favoritism in officiating....

@Miggs still won't concede to being helped by the refs during the last blazers meet up. Mofo's had 3 quarters of favoring calls, and still barely won by 2 point. :scusthov:

Collins is actually good....

But I call him and Meyers Leonard the white privileged duo. They get damn near every contested call in the paint.

Nurkic and Layman are omittted from the privileged calls.
