If LaMarcus Aldridge isn't bothered that he was left off the Western Conference All-Star team last week, he sure has a funny way of showing it.Aldridge scored 37 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and hit a couple clutch shots down the stretch the help lift the Blazers over the Raptors, who did their best to make a late run to steal the game. But Aldridge was not having any of it.
Rudy Fernandez played the game of his life -- in the first half. But he didn't miss a single shot in the first half, made 6 three-pointers and finished with 23 points. I think Rudy should have kept going and tried to get 40 points. I know that's a selfish thing to do, but hey, when is Rudy Fernandez going to get close to scoring 30, let alone 40 points again?
Probably not ever. But I have to hand it to Rudy. After the offseason from hell for him and the team, he's rebounded nicely. It'll be very interesting to see what happens to Rudy's morale when B-Roy starts playing again. Some of Rudy's minutes will definitely be taken away by Roy, and we're guessing Rudy is not going to be very happy about it.
Then, we just trade him, right?
