The Cleveland Cavaliers and Lebron James took care of the ailing Portland Trailblazers after valiant efforts from Zach Randolph and LaMarcus Aldridge failed to keep it close enough. It sounds like LA will ge his first start at center Friday night against the Boston Celtics. Coach Nate has not been pleased with the production of Magliore who has struggled with his shooting percentage. This will be a good test for Aldridge to check his contributions with major minutes.
from Oregonlive.com "Blazers Forum", some contributors thoughts:

With limited practice and training for the season, Aldridge has been quite impressive. There is so much raw talent built into this kid... it gets me pumped up for the future. Right now, he is lost on offense. We aren't able to utilize his greatest offensive traits because he is so unfamiliar with how the offense moves. Once he picks up on the offense and our distributors get him the ball in the right spots, he'll be a scoring machine. Nobody can stop his shot... it is impossible to defend. He can hit from anywhere on the floor with anybody in his face. I envision Roy and Lamarcus being a deadly combo for years and years to come.

The Gazelle. He hops around the court like a gazelle. He will only get more active and aggressive as the season goes on. Scary potential... absolutely scary

he plays very hard on both sides of the court. The two rookies have a lot of pride and play to win. It's kind of refreshing to have two players do what they do.
It sounds like the fans are impressed! I have been since the day of the Draft!
