The Blazers lost to Denver last night in a game I didn't expect them to win, having just played a tough game against Indiana in Portland on Wednesday, then hopping a flight to play in Denver with the division lead on the line and Carmelo returning from suspension. Oh well.
But I want to show Chris "The Birdman" Anderson's block against Rudy Fernandez, and then show you what happened on the very next possession. Following the play, Anderson combed his hair with his fingers. Good show, but some of us have grandparents who could have blocked this one:
LaMarcus then shows The Birdman up on the next play:
And please, can we keep Rudy on the bench until he grows up? Nice to see some toughness from LaMarcus, who I've criticized at times for being too soft and not rebounding enough. His rebounding average is firmly stuck at 7.0 per game. As a 6-11 power forward, with Greg Oden out of the lineup, the Blazers need Aldridge to hit the boards harder than that and keep his game in the paint on both ends of the floor.
Clearly, he can play in the paint.
