Aldridge sets Blazer record

Amazing. Aldridge has done something that Clyde Drexler, Brandon Roy, Bill Walton, Kiki Vandeweghe, Maurice Lucas, Terry Porter, Fat Lever, Calvin Natt, Isaiah Rider, Buck Williams, Rashweed Wallace, Kenny Anderson, and Scottie Pippen were never able to do.

Congrats, LaMarcus!!

Too bad he is just a number two option

 

LaMarcus Aldridge is also only the second NBA player this year to score 36 points or more in three straight games (Monta Ellis, Dec. 20-25).

 

Making his acheivement more impressive is when you account for pace, both this year and historically. Monta Ellis is the only other player to do it this year? The Warriors play at a very high pace. We don't.

And historically, Clyde played in a much faster era.

 

Clyde also never had the rebounding numbers that Aldridge does.

 

Yeah, but that's apples and oranges. Clyde was a two. That's like saying that Aldridge never had Glide's assist numbers.

 

I know Aldridge is going to have blood in his eyes tonight. I hope he doesn't get too amped up and shoots everything long.

I will say this much, however: Miller is going to feed Aldridge in the post like Old Country Buffet feeds Michael Moore.

 

Why? Because he's playing against Kevin Love??? I assume Love will have something to prove, as well.

 

That was horrible. Almost like you tried too hard.
