Couldn't agree more.

The Spurs made a deliberate effort to involve LMA in the first minutes of the game, he took the most shots in those minutes...but missed all them.

They tried with Pau in some P&Rs with Patty but since he couldn't stay on the floor on defense, he had few minutes.

Wouldn't trade for Rubio, even for a Parker swap (unless Parker really is just done). Bledsoe would be interesting, and the Spurs could get Len back in the trade as well for LMA. As others have said, however, Holiday would probably be the optimum target and the Spurs could prolly turn it into a 3-way trade to get another big back.

I don't buy into the Aldridge hate. If Kawhi was half the offensive player he is showing now in the playoffs, the spurs are likely looking at the cavs in the finals.
Aldridge showed up when he needed too.

Kawhi iso and lack of ability to create is obviously having a big impact on the spurs adapting. Add in the lack of a true pg, and things get worse. It's way to early for jjudgement calls. The spurs have already shown flashes of brilliance on defense and offense, consistency is where they are lacking. That is a issue which can be fixed. Throw up a full game of defense, and the spurs are undefeated. Their defense has been all out of sorts and I'm sure it is being stunted even more by Kawhis higher focus on offense.

I'll be patient with them. Spurs fans are just spoiled and not used to losing. Must constantly be reminded the regular season is for figuring these issues out. Games don't matter yet. Never have for Pop.

The ability is clearly there. I don't see the reason for all the hate on either superstar.

I was saying a lot of the same things a few weeks ago and still think once LMA plays himself into shape he'll look a good deal better, but the body language, nonchalant attitude when the team does good or bad, and the fact his game really doesn't make those around him better (which this team desperately needs) makes me wary. His soft-ass play thus far pisses me off too. Of course, Gasol is looking more and more like the terrible addition most of us called it which isn't helping matters.

Horford's soft as fuck too, do not want.

Meanwhile, Softridge is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddd maaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn.:rolleyes

Horford was sold as a star player in Atlanta but dude is the modern day Horace Grant which isn't necessarily an insult since Horace was the 3rd best player on a 3-peat team. Kawhi is a superstar that needs to be surrounded by excellent 2-way ROLE players like Horford & create a team similar to the 2011 Mavs. For fuckin' sakes Klay/Draymond/Iggy were 3rd tier star players in 2015 & Kawhi is better all-around than 2015 Curry.

Let's say Pau gets traded for Jrue & Softridge gets swapped w/ Horford. Kawhi/Horford + Danny/Jrue would be as good as Curry/Draymond + Klay/Iggy. They would be lacking a Bogut but Dedmon could play the Ezeli role & Bogut's illegal screens won't be as valuable as they were on the Duds. A guy like Livingston would be the missing piece but Patty/Simmons would be serviceable backup guards & I guess Porker would be a dead-weight like Lee was on the 2015 Duds. Barnes was underutilized similar to Dick Jefferson on the Spurs so he's irrelevant.

I think you mean game 7. Many people will remember how he punched the floor after that miss. The mental picture is haunting..

I don't think Aldridge cares that much. I love the skills he can provide, but hate that he seems out of shape and a bit careless.

It sucks that Kawhi seemed to have an open lane for a lay up or foul in a previous possession and he chose to pull up and missed the jump shot. Then missed the lay up (he could've gotten the foul though as Harden gets tons of fouls), and then Aldridge missed the easy putback.

I wish Kawhi had a lighter offensive load too. Maybe as a 2nd scorer / clutch performer he would work better as he's more all around than pure scorer. Isn't that why Aldridge was brought?

Very annoying loss.

Goofy assed lineup changes biggest contributor to loss imo.
Also the force feeding of LMA in the 4th while the rest are supposed to stand around and watch him shoot. Pathetic strategy.
Ditto Kwa doing so much forced 1 on 1. I get the impression that is CIA Popped ordering.

We had ball movement and rockin and rolling momentum when Johnny Simmons and the other runners were in there.

Yeah, it's the one genetic gift Kawhi lacks, a strong vertical leap off of one foot. Off two feet he is fine, but off one foot he just doesn't finish well. I was so angry when he stopped and faked and shot the jumper. He needs to penetrate deeper for himself but also to draw the defense to free up his teammates.

Agree.

All that considered, I think he's been successful using his long arms and big hands to get in and get his shot off, and should have done that in that play.

You're talking about building a poor man's version of the team that beasted in the regular season but were average to mediocre in the playoffs, winning only due to injuries to the opposing team's best player(s) or chokejobs.

Gaymond got abused by soft ass Dominos/Chewbaka in the WCF & Adams had him bent over. Horford might not have a mean streak in him similar to Bosh but he's a better scorer than Gaymond & just as good a rebounder when he's playing his natural position, PF.

PcgLEY3k5AM

The Duds struggled in the postseason b/c Klay at that time was the biggest postseason choker & Curry was getting neutralized by the likes of Conley/Delly. In the Finals, Mozgov was also sonning Gaymond before David Lee showed him how to attack the Cavs & Bogut was getting murdered on PnRs thus had to be benched in favor of Ezeli.
If Kawhi chokes like Wardell then it probably wouldn't matter if he was playing w/ Anthony Davis.:wakeup

Besides, the core wouldn't be a poor-man's version of the '14-'15 Duds if Dedmon can stay out of foul trouble & play around 25 minutes a night (he's averaging 6 fouls per 36 & putting up 12/13/3 which is similar to '14-'15 Ezeli). If PATFO can fill up the bench w/ decent vet min guys like the Clippers did this summer then that should be enough for the regular season & the rotation can be shortened in the postseason.

Let's compare the advanced stats especially the win-share per 36:
-'15 Danny vs. '15 Klay: http://bkref.com/tiny/SPsn6
-'15 Horford vs. '15 Gaymond: http://bkref.com/tiny/jHFE6
-'15 Jrue vs. '15 Iggy: http://bkref.com/tiny/DAbDH
-'16 Dedmon vs. '15 Ezeli: http://bkref.com/tiny/e9TvV
-'16 Simmons vs. '15 Barnes: http://bkref.com/tiny/8smvI
-'16 Patty vs. '15 Livingston: http://bkref.com/tiny/sTudV
-'16 Kawhi vs. '15 Curry: http://bkref.com/tiny/FPNaV

Dedmon/Kawhi/Simmons have improved since last season & Jrue would probably have a career year if he's healthy.

What they are missing is a Speights & Barbosa but Bertans/Murray could develope into those type of players. All PATFO have to do is dump Porker on the Sixers then sign Bogut this summer to complete the rebuilding process.:lol (Patty will recruit)

I've thought about this too, but I'd rather trade Aldridge for a package of young players/picks, with at least 1 of the young players being established. This team lacks young talent and needs players that time with Leonard.

Horford's clearly more of a Spur than Aldridge, but this is not a situation where they have a player(s) who need an uptick in usage, so what they'd be left with is a less talented/aggressive scorer to masquerade as a 2nd option or Parker/Gasol to attempt to reprise a role they're no longer good enough for. The chemistry might be better, but they'd be no farther along.



Leonard is a superstar that needs to be surrounded by excellent 2-way ROLE players like Horford & create a team similar to the 2011 Mavs.

Wrong. Leonard isn't James and even he has needed an elite perimeter sidekick to win his 3 championships.

Wrong. Leonard isn't James and even he has needed an elite perimeter sidekick to win his 3 championships.

In '12-'13 Wade/Bosh weren't exactly "elite" in the playoffs.

Horford can match Bosh if he's playing a similar role & Jrue at his best can definitely do better than Wade in the '13 postseason. Danny already proved he can do what Ray Allen does in the postseason while playing elite defense & Dedmon/Patty can do better than Birdman/Rio.

Kawhi can do what Carmelo did in 2009 when the Nuggets made it to the WCF, if Pop can turn Jrue (who's 25 w/ a low mileage) into a Billups type player then you got yourself a squad. Let's not forget that Billups didn't turn into Mr. Big Shot until Larry Brown got his hand on him at the age of 26.

Yep. Porker is a cancer on this team. It's unbelievable how many titles we'd have won without Porker's cancerous influence. Our team is getting fat and can't jump anymore because Porker won't stop shoveling Whataburgers down his throat.

In '12-'13 Wade/Bosh weren't exactly "elite" in the playoffs.

Horford can match Bosh if he's playing a similar role & Jrue at his best can definitely do better than Wade in the '13 postseason. Danny already proved he can do what Ray Allen does in the postseason while playing elite defense & Dedmon/Patty can do better than Birdman/Rio.

Kawhi can do what Carmelo did in 2009 when the Nuggets made it to the WCF, if Pop can turn Jrue (who's 25 w/ a low mileage) into a Billups type player then you got yourself a squad. Let's not forget that Billups didn't turn into Mr. Big Shot until Larry Brown got his hand on him at the age of 26.

If you think Leonard, in the West, no less, can equate prime James, you're out of your mind.

The team would be a contender unlike the current version of the Spurs. There have been plenty of teams that made it to the WCF when they were the 4th best team in their conference.

You just have to build a team that can compete w/ the elite & take advantage when the opportunity presents itself. The 2013 Finals almost didn't happen as the 49 win Pacers almost upset the 66 win Heatles when Wade was hobbled while the '13 Spurs avoided OKC when WestBrick got injured.

They'd lack a player capable of being the 2nd best on a championship team and wouldn't have overwhelming star power, continuity or depth.

Last I checked Jason Terry was the second option on a team that went to TWO Finals.:lol

It wasn't only the tip. He let Harden outrebound him which led to Anderson hitting a crucial 3. His body language overall screams loser. It really is Richard Jefferson levels. I'm not even exaggerating.
the reason i have ALWAYS said rebounds need to be categorized. gaysoft and lamarsha only rebound fts
