A pretty quiet practice today as the Blazers went through a lengthy walkthrough in preparation for Game 4 tomorrow night. Nicolas Batum will be a game time decision tomorrow night. He was not visible at the Practice Facility once the media was let in. Batum's presence or absence will obviously have big-time lineup implications. Here's LaMarcus Aldridge's reaction to the Rose Garden crowd booing the Blazers last night. Would you have booed your team's performance last night? "No, I wouldn't have booed us. Fans have their own opinion. They pay for their own ticket. I don't think booing is going to help us." Did you hear the boos? "I did." Does it bother you? "It is what it is. People have the right to do what they want to do." Aldridge also continued to take exception to an Amar'e Stoudemire elbow, something that should be a non-issue on the day before a season-deciding must-win game. "I reacted the way I did because I felt he tried to hit me. I wouldn't change the way I reacted... People called me and said they felt it was in the same category as the Kevin Garnett elbow if he would have hit me. I'm not really focusing my energy on that, I'm trying to focus on the game." Despite saying that, Aldridge soon continued... "In person, I was just reacting. On the film, it really did look like he tried to clock me with one. [The league] will look at it and they'll do what they have to do." The guy badly needs Brandon Roy and Greg Oden back. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
