Portland Trailblazers 98, Cleveland Cavaliers 78

Found January 09, 2012 on Blazers Locker:
PLAYERS: LaMarcus Aldridge,  Gerald Wallace,  Nicolas Batum
TEAMS: Portland Trail Blazers,  Cleveland Cavaliers

My
The Trailblazers played well on defense last night in holding the Cavs to 36.7% shooting from the floor and that was the reason for the rather easy win last night. LaMarcus Aldridge (28 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 1 blocked shot) and Wesley Matthews (24 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal) led the way for the Blazers in this game. Gerald Wallace filled up the stat sheet with 16 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 blocked shot in this game. Nicolas Batum pitched in with 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals off the bench last night. The Trailblazers are now 6-2 on the year.

Day 15 of 124: Heart of a Winner

Via Give Me The Rock  |  January 09, 2012
There were worries coming into the season that LaMarcus Aldridge was a slightly risky pick as he underwent a procedure to treat a “heart issue”.  Admittedly, I was one of the few who were scared away by the news and during my first fantasy draft I totally missed out on an opportunity to pair him with my first-round picked Pau Gasol! I rectified that in the LAST snake...

Sorry, Crash

Via Oregon Sports News  |  January 10, 2012
Last year when the Trail Blazers traded for Gerald Wallace, I was not a happy camper. The trade sent one of my all-time favorite blazers, Joel Przybilla, away from Rip City and I felt that the Blazers didn’t get nearly enough in return. I remember telling one of my friends that we gave up a solid center and some other pieces for a guy who could back up at three positions but wouldn’t...
