Assessing LaMarcus Aldridge: How has the injured Blazer big adjusted his game?

The joy of seeing LMA back in the Portland lineup was one thing, but the long-term fears for the franchise player's health were another.What if Aldridge aggravates the injury? What if he survives playing hurt, but he's not effective? What if he...

So I'm reticent to reduce an entire competition between 20 players, 6+ coaches, and two organizations to...

Should LaMarcus Aldridge Be Playing Through His Injury?
The Blazer's Edge Mailbag tackles the question that's on everybody's mind. It's time to answer the Mailbag question that's been on everybody's mind...a hot topic of debate in the comments and a source of worry and joy for Blazers fans. Dave, I'm sure you're already working on this, but I've seen almost nothing in-depth on the wisdom of Aldridge's decision to play through his injury. While I met the decision with unabashed joy and elation, at the same time it troubles me. In some respects this is a decision we'll only know the wisdom of in hindsight, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. ...
