Aldridge over Bogut/Mbah a Moute

[Dr. Feelgood]

LaMarcus has really stepped up these past couple of games and tonight poured in 29 points and 19 rebounds. He also put Bogut on a poster and then later put Mbah a Moute on one as well.

His looking better than usual, maybe it's time he gets some consideration to be more of a leader for this team.

I've watched a couple Blazer games this season and it's obvious that he's their #1 option on offense at this point. Aldridge has the tools to carry the team he just isn't assertive enough the whole time that he's in the game. He'll have spurts of greatness and then he'll fall asleep. With Brandon Roy out Aldridge doesn't have the room to take plays off, he needs to continue to be aggressive every time he touches the ball.

 

One thing that Aldridge needs to continue to work on is his passing. With Brandon Roy out he's seeing a lot of double teams and he really struggles to find the open guy. I love his midrange game (16-18 feet), love his athleticism, and I love the fact that he gets to the line. With that said he still needs to work on his post game, as a big man he has got to be able to score in the paint.

 

All in all though I love what he has done this season, he and Wes Matthews have carried them the last couple weeks. Once the Blazers get a healthy Brandon Roy back they are going to be a tough opponent for any team.
