The 2012-2013 NBA Random Thoughts Thread

[Tony D'Amato]

Just watched the game off the DVR.. Why in the fukk was Paul in the game in the 4th???? it was basically 4 against 5 out there. I usually stick up for VDN but he can't do this type of bullshyt. We had a good chance to win that game and more than likely Paul is out for tomorrow against the Thunder

What was worse is the Clips was bout to run em out the building, then he takes Blake out. Odom misses damn near every shot and ft. Lead goes. GS goes on a big run. He calls a TO, then came back with the same lineup. Then brings CP back.

Blake played pissed early, then they just stopped posting up. Started shooting long azz 3 s

This is what depending on Barnes and Crawford get u

Hollins needs Turiaf's minutes

Aldridge shouldered the bulk of the load offensively in December but has recently allowed his teammates to take on more of the scoring responsibility while still contributing in other ways. He struggled through a 5 of 15 night from the field in the Jan. 4 versus the Grizzlies in Memphis, but added five blocks and 12 rebounds in Memphis in the winning effort. But when Portland can't get it going and needs a bucket, it's Aldridge they turn to, as they did in the victory against Minnesota.

Despite Portland's team defense being a work in progress, Aldridge's individual defense continues to improve. He's averaging more defensive rebounds per game than in any time during his six-year career despite playing along side one of the league's best rebounders in JJ Hickson. According to the charting service Synergy Sports Technology, Aldridge gives up the second-fewest points per possession among players that have defended over 50 possessions. He's second only to Joakim Noah and ahead of lauded defensive players like Marc Gasol and Tyson Chandler. He's been more active with his hands, causing an increase in deflections before shots even go up. Aldridge says he's been disruptive but was often mistakenly called for fouls, though is reputation as a pest defending the ball is starting to catch on among officiating crews.

"I'm not fouling guys, I'm just having quick hands on the ball so I think last year when I first started it, they would call it a foul and it wouldn't be," said Aldridge. "Now they've seen me do it for two years now."

I'm surprised at how much he has improved on defense. IMO, he is easily the PF I would take if I had to choose anyone PF to have on my team. If the Blazers could improve there bench and get a Center to go along with LMA, they would be a huge problem.

that whole entire sequence made no sense whatsoever. it was baffling. Dubs took advantage of the fukk ups for the win
