    In the last 5 games Aldridge defensive game is looking really good. He's rebounding much better too. To top it off, he's beginning to get the 20/10 numbers. Oh and he's really passing the ball well!

    I knew he had it in him. I think hickson has really rubbed off on him. Either it being some in team competition or that lillard is starting to get the spotlight, Aldridge has really improved his game!

    By 'get it' do you mean LaMarcus is fully back from his hip surgery and lack of his typical summer workout program? If so, then I agree it sure seems that way.

    No that can't be it, it means that LaMarcus suddenly is caring more and that his hip is starting to care more. Some people play from the heart, LMA shoots from the hip.

    Well I could agree with that argument but Aldridge wasn't much of a low post player and rebounder like he has the last 5 games. He looks to bang more and I'm not talking just this season. He is now starting to get superstar numbers.

    I actually think the whole team is starting to "get it". Our bench is actually starting to play better, Hickson is playing out of his mind, and Batum is showing an all-around game that many of us only dreamed about.

    It's like we had 8 new players and a whole new offense for the entire team to learn!

    I agree that he seems better. He's learning scrappy Hickson effort, which is conventional league-wide. He's unlearning the odd McMillian system.
