LaMarcus Aldridge has been missing out on all the Portland Trail Blazers' fun.


While the Blazers have extended their winning streak to seven games, their top scorer and rebounder has missed the last four with foot problems, but he hopes to return for Monday's home game against the New Orleans Hornets.

Aldridge, who averages 18.7 points and 7.7 rebounds, averaged more than 20 points during the first three games of Portland's run. But the second-year forward has been inactive since with plantar fasciitis.

Guard Brandon Roy has more than picked up the slack for the Blazers (12-12), averaging 24.1 points during the streak to raise his season average to match Aldridge's.

Travis Outlaw has also contributed off the bench. The forward had scored 15 or more points in a game just twice this season before the run, but is averaging 18.9 during the winning streak.

Roy had 26 points and 11 assists, Channing Frye added a season-high 20 points on 10-for-13 shooting to go with nine rebounds, and Outlaw had 17 points in Portland's 116-105 win at Denver on Sunday.

I'm assuming Peja will miss this game with the groin injury and reports are saying that Aldridge who has been out with plantar faciitis will try to return for this game. Hornets will need to get this win, Tyson will need to stay on the floor, and the fans in Portland will need to keep their feet off of CP. Let's go Hornets!

Hornets could get a win out of this game then they ought to do well the rest of the year.Portland has really been playing well,but the rest of their december opponents are teams they should beat if they play well.Of course they need to get everyone healthy.

I think this is a must-win if they want to gain some momentum. They play easy teams in Seattle and Minny (well, lets just say that they are) and with this win they can go on a nice 3-0 stretch.

I forgot about that incident, I wonder if that fan was told anything about doing that.

Too bad these West Coast games don't come on earlier.

I don't know if that fan was told anything but he should have been told something. Probably should be banned for a while or something.

These late games suck. I have to be to work for 6 in the morning, so I don't know if I can handle overtime.

If it meant the Hornets continuing their overtime win streak, I'm for it. I know what you mean about the late games. These are the games that tend to go into overtime moreso than the earlier ones.

CP hasn't started off well. 2 early fouls. Has to sit. Probably until midway in the 2nd qtr.

Suckiest bench in the league.

I don't normally complain about refs but these silly foul calls are ridiculous. Back to back fouls. Hilton is soft. He needs to bring that ball up and down with some authority.

Halftime

Hornets 39
Blazers 37

CP seems to have left his scoring in New Orleans. Hopefully he'll check his baggage and find it so he can use it in the 2nd half. Mo, Rasual, and anyone else will need to join in.

This Blazer team is MUCH better than the one we faced and lost to about a month ago.
