The Blazers had been struggling of late but not their Rookie Point Guard Damian Lillard. D.L. hit the Rockets with 27 points, 5 boards, and 5 helpers with 3 Money Balls. The Rook plays beyond his Years and it is safe to say the Logo Rookie of the Year will probably be the Weber State Point God who has been taking all comers and putting in Work. Rip City All-Star PF LaMarcus Aldridge added 29 and 6 and the Rockets Bigs had nothing for the Versatile Power Forward from the DFW Metroplex.The Rocket get contributions from Bigs like Chandler Parson 19 and 11 with 2012 FA Pick Up Omer Asik netting 16 and 16 as he continues to do work in the Paint. The Chicago Bulls had to make a difficult Decision whether to keep Asik or the TAJmanian Devil Gibson and they chose Gibson. As for LINsanity of #RedNation he almost had a Triple-Double with 11 points, 11 helpers, and 6 boards. Lin won't dazzle you but he is in that Efficient Mode which is all he has to be. Last Night he had his hands full covering the Rookie Lillard and Lin never got a chance to tell the Rook to tie his Shoes because he couldn't stay in front of him to tell him. You know a little Rookie Hazing that's it. Both Teams move to 4-5 on the Season.
The MDA Show of Staples started with a Bang or was it like watching Two Teams go up and down like a Good Battle in the Drew League. The Lakers up end the Suns 114-102 as Lakers Lead Man Mike D'Antoni goes 1-0 in his Lakers Regime. The LAKEshow get 31 from the Black Mamba, 18 and 12 from "As Dwight Turns", 22 from the rejuvenated MWP, and 16 and 10 from the Spaniard....Gasol. The Suns hung tough but it as their Execution and there was a Jermaine O'Neal in a Phoenix Suns Jersey wondering did they know he had a Jersey on. Suns PG Goran Dragic had 22 and 7 with a couple of Splash Plays and only if Dragic was back in Houston playing with Harden the Rockets would be more Dynamic not taking anything away from LINsanity...but Dragic can get down. #LakerGang your #1 Enemy isn't the Clips but Jim Buss (pictured Above) as he better start consulting with Mitch, Magic, and a Few texts to Jerry West who is Prez for the Warriors. It doesn't hurt to ask now does it.The Lakers are still a work in Progress and it will be a Project on the Defensive End if they want to Rule the West. As we go to Press its all about the Spurs, Thunder, Grindhouse, and Lob City unfortunately for Lakers Nation that is in Charge of the West until further notice.
