Post your "what the hell happened to LA" theories here

[Brock]

Nate wore him out?

He doesn't care now that he made the all star team?

He is more a 2nd or 3rd option?

Hes just not that into it?

I say all of the above!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Fatigue, both mental and physical.

A little 'drive', too? He's made the AS team and his current team is a sinking ship.

 

[Brock]

still lame if he wants to be called an all star..... he should act like one

 

[KingSpeed]

Eh. He ultimately had a double double tonight. He'll be fine.

 

[craigehlo]

He's too easily pushed off the block these days. He doesn't bang in the paint anymore. He's a #2 option for sure.

 

[RR7]

yes, quick, let's rush to judgement on a few bad nights.

 

[julius]

Oh for the love of fucking christ Mixum, settle down.

 

[B-Roy]

He's too easily pushed off the block these days. He doesn't bang in the paint anymore. He's a #2 option for sure.

Then after a great stretch of games...

"Aldridge is a first option. Much better than Love and Griffin"

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Kobe is paying him to tank.

 

[tlongII]

Sup Mixum?

 

[jlprk]

Theory: He hasn't changed, our perception has, because we see Przybilla playing at the same time.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

He threw his back out carrying the team through January and February?

 

[PapaG]

I think he sucks because Nate lost the team and Nate wasn't comfortable letting LMA be the guy and Nate made him an All-Star but then Nate got jealous and ruined him because Nate is a terrible coach who couldn't figure out how Nate would have a guard as an All-Star and a forward/center as an All-Star.

WOW:

Monday marked the third straight game in which LaMarcus Aldridge failed to get to the free throw line.

Nate's fault.

 

[LameR]

Eh. He ultimately had a double double tonight. He'll be fine.

In 29 minutes.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

That just means he's playing like the '07 LaMarcus Aldridge -- mid-range jumper.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

WOW:


Matt Calkins ‏ @blazerbanter

eek

 

[jlprk]

He shot 5-11 and had 11 rebounds, a rather paltry double-double. Also having double-doubles: Felton, Camby, and Kaman. Big deal.

 

[oldmangrouch]

I'd say a combination of fatigue, and getting depressed over recent events.

The second problem is likely to be temporary - particularly if some of his team-mates start playing harder. Unless Pryz can make a significant contribution, I'm not sure what can be done about the fatigue issue.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

He needs Deron Williams on the team to re-invigorate him!

 

[KingSpeed]

He needs Steve Nash.

Camby didn't have a double double.

 

[barfo]

Camby didn't have a double double.

He did, but he is on double double secret probation.

[KingSpeed]

barfo

Huh?

 

[jlprk]

Camby didn't have a double double.

I thought a double double required 20 points, but you say Aldridge had one, so here are tonight's double doubles.

Aldridge 29 minutes, 10 gigantic points, 11 rebounds, 1 steal, 0 assists, 0 blocks, 2 turnovers
Felton 30 minutes, 11 points, 10 assists
Kaman 27 minutes, 10 points, 11 rebounds (same as Aldridge in fewer minutes)

What a great game Aldridge had. One for the record books.

 

[barfo]

Huh?

C'mon, you are from the greater Eugene-Springfield metro area, and a movie star to boot, you must have seen Animal House at some point?

Win

Downplaying good games then exaggerating mediocre ones? Are u mixums brother?

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Perhaps LA is trying to get him team mates more involved.

Either way, he's fine.
