Trail Blazers @ Rockets Game Thread


LaMarcus Aldridge has been dominant this season against the Rockets, putting up a total of 56 points, on 24-48 FG shooting, 17 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 blocks. Houston just has no answer for the L-Train. If they decide to put Patrick Patterson on Aldridge, LA simply backs him down and goes to work in the paint. And if they go with the bigger Omer Asik, LaMarcus takes him outside and shoots over the top of him from the perimeter which also opens up the paint for his teammates. The good news is LA's heating up and ready for another monster night against the Rockets as he's averaging 23 points, on 52.1% shooting, 11.4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.4 blocks over his last five games.
So Rip City, what are your keys to victory?Continue>>>
