Aldridge goes off for a season high 35 pts and a career high 18 rebounds in a blow out of the Thunder. It is actually still going but I think he is done.
Final stats: 14-24, 35 Pts, 18 Rebs, 2 Assists Career high in rebounds and season high in points tonight. Aldridge has really stepped up his level of aggressiveness the second half of this season for a big step in the progression of his overall development. I make a distinction between being aggressive and being an 'intimidator'. Aldridge is beginning to show he can consistently play with a level of force and confidence that can make him a perennial all-star. btw, Rick Barnes was at the game tonight in OKC to watch Aldridge and Durant.
I'm not a Blazers fan but I would like to see what could have been if they had gotten Durant instead of the man that was the basis for Sam Jacksons character in unbreakable.
I can see why the Bulls didnt draft LaMarcus. They have Joakim Noah and Brad Miller dominating the paint. f**k. And had Aldridge and Durant played together at UT for one year we would have gotten out title easily.
