Trail Blazers PR @TrailBlazersPR LaMarcus Aldridge is the first Trail Blazer to score at least 20 points in each of the team's first five games since Clyde Drexler in 1988.
Trail Blazers PR @TrailBlazersPR LaMarcus Aldridge is the 1st NBA player to record at least 9 field goals in each of his team's first 5 games since Vince Carter (2006, NJ).
Trail Blazers PR @TrailBlazersPR Damian Lillard is the first NBA player to ever record 100 points, 25 rebounds, 25 assists and 20 3-pointers in his team's first five games.
Trail Blazers PR @TrailBlazersPR Damian Lillard is just the 2nd NBA player to ever record 3 or more 3-pointers in each of his team's first 5 games (D. Stoudamire-1996, TOR).
Lillard's rebounding is exquisite. It really sets him apart now. Add to that his improved FG% and the fact that he's DEAD MONEY on the pull up jumper from anywhere, and you've got a recipe for hotness.
Ben Golliver @blazersedge Thomas Robinson on his pairing with Joel Freeland: "We have to be annoying to play against, scrappy, fast, we have to be the headache."
Tomorrow morning, Lillard will appear in this list, averaging 5.4 RPG and 5.6 APG to go with 23.8 PPG: http://bkref.com/tiny/Ja5Ic
Erik Gundersen @blazerbanter Blazers fans, learn to love the three: POR 7th in 3-pointers attempted and 8th in percentage. 5th most efficient offense in the league.
Freeland is a great example of hard work pays off. He went from a borderline NBA player to a legit rotation player in one offseason.
4 hours ago: Lillard 97 pts in 4 games, 24.25 ppg Aldridge 98 pts in 4 games, 24.5 ppg Now: Lillard 119 pts in 5 games, 23.8 ppg Aldridge 118 pts in 5 games, 23.6 ppg I wonder how long they'll stay that close to each other in scoring.
Erik Gundersen @blazerbanter Also, Lillard pointed out something re: Freeland: "He's a perfectionist with the verticality."
