Another stellar performance with a bum thumb.

38 points (56.5% shooting), 11 boards, 100% FT (10-10), 67% from 3, 2 blocks, 2 assists, 1 steal

If only Aldridge had some help....

He's been absolutely incredible this season...best power forward in the league.

I thank our lucky stars we have Aldridge.

I thank our lucky stars we have Aldridge.

Those must be pretty recent lucky stars....

I know. We seem to have few compared to our unlucky ones. Which makes me even more thankful.

We need to get him a PG to play off of.

I'm confused. I thought it was Kevin Love.

I have a growing curiosity as to why more use is not made of Aldridge's skill set. It seems to me that motion plays around Lamarcus on the High post would would work well, something like Ramsay made use of Walton. Especially when the long ball is not falling. Then it seems to me that, Damian and Lamarcus could put together a fantastic series of plays playing off each other starting with a simple pick n roll. We see nothing of this and I have been wondering why? I am not sure why we didn't see any of this with Roy, but thats behind us. Now it seems to be a terrible oversight to have this game missing in the Blazer's plan with Damian and Lamarcus as the back bone of the team. Why is this happening?
