And afraid to shoot the ball at the end of the game; i don't care how many shots you miss during the game; if you are the go-to guy on the team; keep shooting! Those were probably the most discouraging moments for me in the whole game.
 
I have never considered him our best player (or second-best when Roy was here). I don't know who that is, but it isn't him. On any night, it can be any of our top players. He may the most talented, but he isn't the best. He does so little with all that ability. Ultimately I blame McMillan, because in any organization, it's the boss' job to get people to perform, and McMillan seems content with Aldridge.
 
I'm more pissed by the 107 points the team gave up in 53 minutes.
 
I don't know if the big minutes is affecting the starters. Maybe Nate should try playing the bench more minutes. Smith in particular. Let LA give us more quality and less quantity.

LMA is putting up 22/8 home and away. It's Gerald Wallace sucking on the road that is affecting this team negatively right now.

There's no excuse for 3 defensive rebounds in 47min of play. That is borderline pathetic with no Camby in there.

He's playing like a damn SF. He can think he's Batman all he wants, but he's flat out wrong. Being the best player on the team doesn't make you a Batman. It just means you're the best player on the team. He'll always be Robin.

LMA has a PER of 22.6, next on the team among major minute players is Batum at 17.6, and you're bashing on LMA?

He's the one player on the team who is bringing it every single night. You used to crush Roy, and now LMA is your latest scapegoat.

Strange.
 
Yeah and I posted something about Aldridge should get more rebounds and many of these same posters told me Aldridge is there to score not rebound. Weird that now theres some change in this philosophy.
 
With Camby out we need Aldridge to step up and rebound more than ever. I liked Batum's 8 rebounds last night.

LMA had 10 rebounds last night. If you're expecting him to get 15 rpg with Camby out, that's unrealistic, IMO.

Does PER accurately reflect his sorry ass rebounding numbers? No. Besides, I don't hold PER as the be-all, end-all stat like everyone else. People in the past have tried to say that Rudy Gay is no better than Outaw and that Wesley Matthews is no better than Webster because they had similar PER's, and look how that turned out.

Anyways, he needs to step it up. 3 defensive rebounds in 47min last night is sad. Batman averages more than 5 defensive rebounds a game.

Channing Frye, who averages 24 minutes per game, is averaging more defensive rebounds per game than Aldridge

STEP IT UP
 
He averages 8 rebounds a game. Come on now 8 rebounds is fairly good. Get off the 3 def rebounds because he got 7 off ones. We lose a couple of games and people are freaking out. Lets wait and see if our 23p "underrated" Franchise player ups his rebounding. Tell then im fine with his offensive game which is defiantly off *which is kind of scary considering he is still getting 20+)and his above average defense.
 
No, I'm not going to get off of his defensive rebounding. It's terrible, and he needs to step it up, especially with Camby being out.

Channing Frye and Andrea Bargnani are averaging more defensive rebounds right now

And all rebounds are not created equal. Wild putback attempts on the offensive glass or tapping the ball out the the center of the court and hoping a teammate gets it is not the same as grabbing the rebound and gaining possession. Aldridge's ability to do this has always been average at best. Right now it's below average, and that simply isn't going to cut it.

Do you want LMA running the break and using his speed, or do you want him banging the boards and letting Kurt Thomas and Camby fill the lanes.

One of the dumber threads of the season, IMO.

Is this going to be the running excuse for his bad defensive rebounding numbers? It's lazy analysis at best.

When the other team has 19 offensive rebounds, yes, I think Aldridge should try and grab some defensive rebounds. What did he do? Not a damn thing about it.

With Camby down it's time to step it up. If he doesn't, shame on him. So far the results are not good.

Would you rather have an Aldridge that barely gets 20 points; maybe 19.2, but grabs 3-4 more defensive rebounds? That would be a 19.2/10 guy

No, because I got money riding on his scoring not his rebounding, in your money giveaway!

LMA has already stepped up this season, and you're wasting your credibility on bashing the guy.

Good luck with that one.

LOL

Yeah, I'm sure grabbing defensive rebounds would shave off over 3pts off of his ppg.

Riiiight
