Aldridge had like 5 pts and was completely shook of the moment from the tip off the first time they played, so mentally it'll go a long way for him that he came in, bullied draymond and dropped 25 pts despite still missing some easy shots. that was closer to the lamarcus ppl were expecting.
Also, putting Leonard on Draymond, Boris on Barnes, the aggressive switches on Curry, and Parker's physical post defense on Klay are all positive strategic take aways for Pop. I agree that Duncan will likely only play whenever Bogut is on the court, as a counter, so outside of whatever adjustments Kerr will have to make to give his guys more breathing room, the other dynamic will be how much AI will affect the matchups upon his return.
