Casey Holdahl @CHold 44s LaMarcus @aldridge_12 named Western Conference player of the week yet again. @mtokito called it. led the Trail Blazers to a 4-0 week behind averages of 25.5 points (eighth in the league), a league-best 14.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 blocks.
That makes 3 of the last 4 Western Conference Player of the Week awards for Aldridge. M-V-P, M-V-P... BNM
http://www.nba.com/news/players-of-the-week-2013-14-season/ Factoring in LMA and KI as of today, 9 of last 10 players-of-the-week are a former #1 or #2 overall pick. LMA only player in the league with three POW awards so far; Lebron the only other player with two.
NBA Guru @NBAGuru 22s LaMarcus Aldridge has already won Player of the Week 3 times. It's not even Christmas. Yes, he's a serious MVP candidate.
He's had hot streaks in the past where he put up some guady numbers, but something feels a little more tangible and "real" in this current run. Body language and confidence I guess?
This is definitely the best I've ever seen him play. The most confidence. His play on the block has been superb.
Yeah I know what you mean. It looks like he can keep it up without having to be in some sort of zone. It looks easy for him right now. Especially his shots around the hoop where he is simply flipping them in. Before those easy shots.....did not look as natural as they are now.
Can't wait for him to win "player of the month" for December, January and March. Then MVP will become as real as the pimple on my ass cheek
TMI man, TMI! If you're going to force me to visualize a mental image of a pimple on an ass cheek, at least make it your wife's and not yours! BNM
With Portland and Cleveland facing off tomorrow, it's the first time since Valentine's Day last year that the reigning players of the week are playing against one another.
Heh. And we just had the coaches of the month face off when Indiana was in town, right after the awards were given.
