As already stated, cannot hate the dude he is battling on Defense like but yeah when your second best offensive player is a 34 y/o Parker you are in trouble tbh
He doesnt have alot of coordination. Hes afraid of it getting stripped down low so chucks it. He should work out with Randolph in the offseason.

I'd say LMa has been our second best player. Just my the sheer amount of time he plays on the floor. He is average on offense but consistent on defense.
Criticism is well deserved. He does compete on defense so he's hard to hate (hate is a strong word. One can criticize a player and not hate, a concept that's missed here often as trolls either love blindly or hate blindly). Anyways, I actually tend to dislike guys who play no defense (not a Lee fan for example but I do wish him the best as he's very skilled offensively).
Anyways, Lamarcus game on offense tends to be limited and he's a very poor passer out of doubles whether bc of lack of low bbiq or being soft. He's playing like a role player, which won't get it done at times role players are off, shooters have a cold stretch, etc. At times he disappears too.
LMA just needs to be dominant against GSW. Yes we will need him against Houston...but punishing GSW is what matters most. They don't have an answer for him and criticizing his play in that series would be fair if he doesn't play well
^^ I think he needs to be dominant vs Memphis.
Need we be reminded we were up 3-2 vs the Clippers in 2015?
Up 2-1 vs Billy Donovan and OKC?
I don't consider this series over. We could still be Popped.
I really dont mind him not scoring alot because he gets worried and starts fighting hard. I think other guys respond to that like Mills. Just a feeling.
LMA has been this way his whole career. He can play inside, but instead relies on his jumper. He was just getting twice the shots in Portland, and his jumper was more money then, so it inflated his offensive numbers.
Even I'll admit that he hasn't been the max guy that we thought we were getting...but he is still doing an admirable job and is under-rated around here. He is really putting in the work on defense and on the boards, and he is still a threat to go off in any game. Now he can even step out and stretch the floor a bit.
If he could put in a consistent 15 PPG and be a factor on both ends, I'd take that over him scoring 20 PPG and half-assing it everywhere else.
If he could do both...well that would be really really nice, but the world isn't a perfect place sometimes.

not worried.
THIS!!!! and our coaches feel like they are too high brow to call it out, but if you dont, the refs are gonna just assume you dont think it's a problem...they MAUL LA everytime he touches the ball down low...with that said, he needs to BANG them down low because ZBO cant handle him in the post...and gasol will never leave his feet...LA gets trapped trying to pump fake gasol, when he needs to just take it into his chest...i dont even think gasol is averaging a block a game for this series...
i must say though...LA has been rebounding like a BEAST at crucial times...he just needs to keep it up the whole game
LMA got Gasol to bite on a pump fake last night and drew two three throws from it.
I know that's just one example but...never say never.
Can't see the pic, but I'm guessing a "that's what she said" joke?
LA got lucky Marc bit on that fake, hes usually smarter than that. LA needs to have a better repertoire of moves. Despite that he had a great game though.
Agggggghhhh yeah it showed up when I inserted it but when I clicked 'post reply', it disappeared
It was a Michael Scott gif
This soft player will never step up.
He's a mental midget.
Folks putting excuses for LMA on this thread.
"b...but that Grizzlies frontcourt
this be the reason Portland always got bounced
Not realizing it wasn't a matchup problem.
Yeah, he's looked awful; no spin on it.
Not saying anything about it till now because you're a pussyNot realizing it wasn't a matchup problem.
Sure it's a matchup problem. It's always a matchup problem.
The does that suppose to mean? I said all this during the Grizzlies series. How ing slow can you be?Not saying anything about it till now because you're a pussy

From the "Dream Offseason" thread..The does that suppose to mean? I said all this during the Grizzlies series. How ing slow can you be?
So? He was the biggest free agent name out there, of course getting him was great. His first season here he was pretty damn good, and this season he was decent enough.
He was definitely worth getting, despite how soft he is on the offensive end he is still by far our best bigman. And if anything, he still gives us value on any possible future trade we can get involving him.
That doesn't take away from the fact that he needs to find a way to stop being a ing cancer on offense.
"I said... I said.... I said"
You didn't want to claim that "I said" did ya?
Just checkin assholes, you was next.
Wow, you trully are one dumb ass human being, tbh.

What the does "Aldridge needs to step up" have to do with thinking getting Aldridge was the no-brainer move at the moment?
I still think it was the correct move, but let's pretend like I changed my mind and think getting Aldridge was not worth it at all. What does that have to do with the fact that I currently think he needs to step up on the offensive end and that I knew that the "matchup" thing wasn't really the reason he had a subpar offensive series in the first round?
