Aldridge having no problem scoring

against the Spurs. It seems like he can do whatever he wants.

Yeah he's lookin real good. Did you see the imitation sky-hook in the first half? Made it look easy.

Just out of curiosity i checked Webster's stats in preseason. He averaged 17.7 ppg shooting 58% from the field, 50% from 3 and 94% from the line.

Yeah, he's doing a great job of imitating Eddie Curry, all points, very few boards.

He's playing pretty far from the basket. Taking a lot of jump shots...making them though. He'll be a great guy to team with Oden because he (Aldridge) looks like he can play the high post to Oden's low post.

That is a good point. as a basketball fan, it is disappointing that someone as talented as Oden is facing such a long road to recovery before his career even begins. Portland has some very nice young pieces that on paper fit well together (Oden = low post scorer, defender, rebounder; Aldridge = high post scorer; Roy = All arounder; Webster = shooter; and a couple of decent point guards). Unfortunately, they have a steep learning curve and significant injury concerns to over come.

That's going to be a matchup nightmare for opposing teams in the future.
