IMO, he has only "cooled off" because Gerald Wallace, Marcus Camby, and Brandon Roy are back on the court (or new to the team, in Wallace's case).
It's the same reason Kevin Love wouldn't/won't average 23/15 on a playoff team.

Shouldn't more options mean less double teams and more options to pass to when double teamed? Part of the reason we blew that Laker game was because Aldridge would get doubled and we couldn't figure out what to do. More cutting, since we don't have the shooters to kick out to.

I don't think you watched the end of the Laker game. LMA wasn't double-teamed. He drove the ball into the middle against Gasol.

Exactly what? The Lakers didn't double-team LMA. It actually surprised me, and the Blazers.

I watched the end of the game, have it DVR'd. Artest was constantly leaving his man to double LMA everytime they kicked it in to him. I've watched the end of the game twice.

Yeah, I just watched it again. It wasn't a fast double, but it was a double. I stand corrected.

The delayed double is intentional, to get LMA into his across-the-key maneuver. By doubling then, it makes things difficult for LMA to adjust to, since he's dribbling and not holding onto the ball with both hands.

As somebody who was really quite introverted until my late teens, I've definitely seen firsthand how people misinterpret shyness for arrogance. I suspect his teammates collectively said to each other, "Well, if he's too good to talk to us, let's fuck him over. That'll show him."
You can blame his teammates for being immature pricks, or you can blame Aldridge for not developing the social skills to make his teammates feel good about playing with him.
Or don't blame anybody and just marvel at how people fuck themselves over by not recognizing their own weaknesses.
