LMA gets a little love in ESPN's 5-on-5 MVP choices.
There is some funny stuff in this filipino review of our beloved Blazers. Most of it is in the english... I think the rest of the time they are laughing about their poor english.
Aaron McGuire of Gothic Ginobli joins ESPN's 5-on-5 discusion about who deserves the MVP so far. And while he's all alone on the island, it's still cool to see.

LA shows up in David Aldridge's weekly Morning Tip's MVP Watch. He also ranks the Blazers in at number 4 in his power rankings. He doesn't give a good reason why considering the Blazers have beaten both the Pacers and OKC who above them in the rankings.

My Grantland pals Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe recently had a compelling podcast discussion offering all sorts of reasons why the better-than-expected Portland Trail Blazers might be moved to try to upgrade from Robin Lopez to Asik at center by offering Lopez and another quality asset in exchange for Dwight's disgruntled backup.
