Motivated?

Where has LaMarcus Aldridge gone? He's averaging fewer points and boards than last year. He started slow last season too, but not like this.

Freaking Bob Delaney. He just wanted to make up for letting the Blazers win on his watch in Miami.

Morrow fouled Rudy. And Delaney was way too quick on the T-rigger, but why didn't any of the other Blazers come and get Rudy away from the Ref? Where was Brandon's vaunted leadership?

Tonight, I bet the Blazers either come out motivated and flatten this Bulls team, or come out flat and get absolutely rolled. I don't think this one will be close either way.

In any case, I'm really missing my boy Webster.
