The "How are Aldridge, Batum, Lopez, and Matthews Doing?" Thread

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Am I the only one who's shocked LaMarcus showed up to training camp looking like that? With everything that went on over the summer and getting this huge contract from the Spurs I would have thought he'd show up ready to impress. Knowing the successful, businesslike way the Spurs are reportedly run (and the reputation Pop has for getting after his players) it is the last thing I expected to see. He really does look physically terrible and completely lost in their system. I think he will turn it around but he looks like a different player!

My theory is his weight gain correlates with the McDonald's all day breakfast starting.

What's their WS/48? That is the metric I like to look at the best.

Aldridge's number is higher than I thought it would be based on all the criticism he's been getting. It's not a 'Max Salary' type number, but a decent WS number.

Wes & Batum are slightly lower than what I would have guessed. I'm really surprised that Lopez's is that low.

Only Ray McCallum, David West and Danny Green have worse WS numbers on the Spurs.

Im gonna kick the shit out of this thread on Sunday., Heading to the game now!

 

[illmatic99]

Nic vs wes tonight

 

[B-Roy]

Nic is guarding Wes

 

[B-Roy]

Batum just posted up Wes and hit a hook shot

 

[illmatic99]

Nic post up and score over wessy. Man. This is tough to watch

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Wes has regressed at free throws over the years

 

[illmatic99]

We are better than dallas

 

[B-Roy]

Wes and Nic were chatting it up during some free throws.

The feels man....the feels...

Am I the only one who is confused by Marvin Williams starting for the Hornets over Zeller/Hawes?

Williams isn't bad. He plays pretty good defense and he's rebounding really well this year.

 

[Chris Craig]

We are better than dallas

Well they are play sans some of their key players....but what am I saying...yeah we are better

I wonder if Portland is going to become the new Spurs, where guys look good in our offensive system, get moved, and promptly fall to shit because the system no longer supports them. Stotts really is an underrated coach. But if these ex-Blazers continue to have mediocre to bad seasons while Portland emerges from the rubble, beating expectations by 15 or 20 wins, it makes him even more likely to be a COY candidate.

Add to the fact that Aminu, Davis, Harkless, & Plumlee were all had for cheap

As soon as there's a "He'll probably go to Portland and double his output" meme on other teams' forums, we'll know we've made it.

Yeah, they were thought about as highly as Robin Lopez, Wes Matthews and Nic Batum were before they got here.

LMA: 15/10/41 fg% -- 16 PER

His lift is gone - being at least 280 lbs. is to blame.

He's morphing into a watered-down Miami Chris Bosh.

Bosh is still a lot more athletic isn't he? And a better shooter. I don't think LA has been anything close to the all star every assumes he is for the last 3 years.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Bosh never let himself go the way LA did.

Vin Baker is probably a better comparison.

Why do you keep calling him Charlotte?
