    I am starting to really notice more an dmore that Aldridge is slowly losing his gusto later and later into the games. The poor guy has played so many minutes. With the addition of Wallace and Roy getting his confidence back you would think that McMillian would find more time to rest him, but because of the slow and bang it out half court offensive struggles he spends to much time banging and fighting alone for rebounds...since Marcus Camby is on the bench to much at times... leaving him absoluetly exausted during 4th quarter of games.

    Now some say he should suck it up! He gats paid alot of money and should be able to fight through it... well to those i say..."YOU TRY IT" If the Blazers offense didnt rely so much on the half court garbage we could rotate players more often and undo some of the pressure.

    LA plays more minutes than any other player in the league except for one... he needs some help and rest!

    Solutions...
    1. Keep Camby in the game more. This could happen alot more as well if he wasnt picking up fouls because the ball defenders up top keep getting picked or left behind.
    2. Get out and RUN
    3. Get Chris Johnson some time!
    4. Use the other players to their strengths

    Do you have any ideas???
    I am a fan of Oden,Aldrige,Wallace,Roy and PG to be named soon as the starting 5!!

    LA SUCK IT UP.  You are getting nearly $11M a year it is the Playoffs, vision that Brandon & Marcus are out and you are the leader and do what you did in Janaury and February or else yuou will be having an early summer.



    You can do it!  Blazers in 7

    He is tired for him it has been a long season, But he does need to suck it up and leave it all on the floor win or lose. In the off season he needs some help at pf. But we also need a pg, starting center, and a stronger bench.

    The problem with JJ remains the same at the 4 or 5 he is just not a good enough defender. Milsap and especially Smith are good defenders. The also both offer more on the offensive side than JJ does.

    Howard would be fine if he was the same player he was in Orlando, but his back has really slowed him down and he is no longer the most dominant center in the league. His offense was always trying to dunk on people and getting fouled he has not imp...

    Exactamundo. Seriously though, both of you''ll are right. The blame should be placed on the attacker, not Lillard. That being said, Dame should have stepped in.

    Sanders is 6''11" Cailin he is about 5 pounds lighter than LA so his size should not be an issue.

    I completely agree. Pierce would bring a culture change. And we as a team really needed someone to help our young players through the tough times. Jeffires and Pavlovic were veterans who didn''t see much court time and from what I saw didn''t real...

    Joakim Noah has had his injury troubles. His crazy game and high energy make him a constant injury threat. What separates him from Oden and Rose (I had to just mention him) is his willingness to play the way he loves.
