    When Aldridge puts up 32-10 and it barely garners a mention. "Ho hum. Another day at the office for #12."

    LA is playing out of his mind. What an absolute pleasure to watch.

    Great thread; I was just thinking about this earlier today. Remember when an average LMA game was 18/6? Remember when getting 24/12 was a huge game for him?

    His stats were overshadowed by two players on the Clips. LMA will get his due come all-star break.

    This, Blake and CP3 had monster games and LA is not nearly as flashy as BG. I got to admit though I was impressing by BG's game evolution, I always considered him somewhat one dimensional but his outside game is much better.

    I'm talking about this forum. Two years ago, if LA put up those numbers, we'd be going crazy. Now, it's almost assumed.

    It's just fantastic to see a Blazer play at this level.

    If you mean like watching the special Olympics achieve greatness, then yes.

    I just had an image of HCP racing a bunch of kids with Down Syndrome with all of us yelling on the sidelines, "You're all winners!"

    Well then yea that's a good point. Seems awesome for LA is now average. We also have so many other guys doing great that its easy to forget about what he is doing because its just so bread and butter. Like Lillard had an off night and you don't even hear much about that either. There is just so much going on on this team it makes my head spin.
