I agree, and LA’s importance is sometimes overlooked. Roy’s going to do what he does. There’ll be support most nights coming from someone — now Bayless or Andre, soon Rudy, later maybe Outlaw again. But we need LA to be consistent.

People talk about Roy needing to improve off the ball on offense, and I agree with that, but LA does, too. He grabs his share of O boards, no doubt, but I’d like to see him get even more active without the ball. (We can say this about 80% of NBA players, but this group really can play team ball.)

Some of these things will come with experience. I often need to remind myself that even Roy and LA are young players, and that they’re still growing.

I think the frustrating part about this L, and thinking back to the last two road L’s (CLE, MIL) they have all been winnable games. There’s just been one stretch that ends up murdering the Blazers in the end. The little things are meaning so much more with this depleted team and Portland has to put together a near perfect game for 48 minutes. That’s tough even without the depth problems.

And LaMarcus…well before the season I said we were going to go as far as he took us.
