Aldridge is weak

[Rastapopoulos]

 

[Spud147]

I don't care how he's used, he's not as good in San Antonio...I've seen him for two years play there...it's just not a good fit. Don't have to be a hater to see it...Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson talked about it as have other commentators...he looks a step slow on every play and can't pass out of double teams...you've seen him enough to make a comparison on basketball alone....nothin' to do with fan hate

He arrived in San Antonio overweight and out of shape and has never turned that all the way around. It was shocking to me at the time because I thought he'd show up in SA looking like Dwight Howard but instead he looked like Glen Davis. He just looks awkward and slow now.

 

[Minstrel]

I get what you're trying to say. Aldridge has been frozen out by his San Antonio teammates. Interesting theory.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Apparently SOME people are FROZEN in time.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

LaMarcus is so WEEK every day with him end with a WHY.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aldridge did play well in Game 6 vs Rockets. Let's see how the WCF develop from here on.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Get on the horn and find out what RC Buford would want in exchange for him. Crabbe & 20 for Aldridge sounds fair to me.

And Crabbe would magically become the game's best SG under Pop!

 

[KingSpeed]

Like Aldridge became the game's best PF?

LA complained about being tired after a game. Nurk handed his teeth to the trainer to be re-implanted that night, then played the rest of the game.

dont forget broke his damn leg then played a game on it TWICE!

 

[MARIS61]

From being maybe the 40th or so best Blazer ever to being a footnote on a dying dynasty in it's last throes of significance.

Fitting and deserved.

 

[PDXFonz]

That's all you really need to know. Dude is an effing beast.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

It was in jest.

People preach how players go to SA and become legends.

 

[dviss1]

Two of their main pieces are out and the opposing teams defense are even more zeroed in on him. Dubs are like, let anybody else score but LA. Still one of the best Bfs in the game. This is what bugs me about this plate. Hate/Love for a team or something blinds your common sense. It's hilarious. Playing like shit, sure....... This is on some JinxSpeed level type shit.

You gotta be kidding me... Look at what you just said:

"Dubs are like, let anybody else score but LA."

That's not how it works. When you're the best on the team it's typically:

"Let <best player> get his and stay home on everyone else"

Not vice versa.

You saw it. Green was HOT because of the double team.

 

[dviss1]

Not even. If LMA were to somehow magically be a Blazer again he would hate it. This is Dame's team. The organization would not cater to him like they have in the past. He would be at most the 4th most popular Blazer. He would pout. I've heard first hand from people you know how the franchise kissed LMA's ass. LMA would be miserable here and that would have a huge effect on his play.

@HCP is falling into the same trap most rookies do:

Only caring about offense.

T.T. is a Defensive LIABILITY. He can't even play defense for Pop....

AND he's got Pop calling him out in the media for being 4/11 lol. So he can't play Pop's offense OR defense...

FUCKING. HILARIOUS.

He arguably was the best PF. It was between LA, Love, and Griffin(Duncan was out of his prime during that time) and many considered LA to be the front runner. He's just not glorified in SA like he was here. Portland handed him everything on a silver platter, he doesn't get that on SA.

That was so 3 years ago. Now he's fat, out of shape, and not living up to expectations. There's NO reason whatsoever why he shouldn't be averaging 23+/10 right now.

He's playing for Pop....

It was arguable if all you were looking at was offensive stats.
He was never close to being the best PF in the league

If I remember correctly most here weren't arguing it at all, consensus on these forums was that LA was the best PF in the league... I was among those touting him as such.

Y'all be hatin' on Steven A. but he sums it up greatly here calling T.T. a:

"Petrified puppy"

Besides all that he lives in Texas where taxes are cheap and barbeque is king.

LmA needs to watch StevenA and get motivated although he is a pro playing for an excellent coach. You can see in his foot work, shot selection and passive attitude that he is no Team leader at this point of time.

 

[DreamKillah]

LMFAO!

 

[Blazer4ever]

LA is what he is. He's never been the best Blazer ever and he has major limitations to his game. I wasn't too sad when he left but I don't hate on him either, wish him the best

 

[trailblazer18]

LMFAO!

I counted 23 "ya'knows" but I may have missed a few...

 

[RonBrewer]

Aldridge is pathetic. Was thrilled when he left.

 

[julius]

LMFAO!

I had forgotten just how much he says ya'know.

 

[santeesioux]

Maybe I'm just an angry, bitter person, but I take some amount of joy in seeing his basketball reputation completely destroyed and two fanbases now hating him. Spurm fans really thought they were getting those first 2 Houston postseason games guy.

He's going to be completely forgotten as soon as he retires, and will be a complete footnote in Blazer history.

I remember his early days when he ran down and posted up against Duncan with some fire. I was like "yeah, this guy is going to be awesome"

Then 20 foot turnaround jumpshots became his thing and the rest is history.

 

[Natebishop3]

The Spurs are shit without Kawhi.... and frankly I don't think they're that good WITH him. They should try to trade Aldridge this summer and build around Kawhi. He's only 25. They need to try to find some guys to fit his window.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

"Sure."

LOL!
