LMA injury thread

[ElNono]

Apparently a sore right knee... legit? or are we in tanking territory?

[HarlemHeat37]

It better be legit, or else they just threw away 2 winnable games in a tight conference race..

[ElNono]

I guess we'll find out if he plays on the ASG...

[SAGirl]

the media already said he would play in the ASG.

He's having some treatment in his knee and needs rest for it... sure he wasn't going to miss the ASG so they chose these two games instead. AFter the ASG he expects to be back and not need rest for the remaining games of the season... make of that what you will.

He might have thought I ain't missing the ASG to carry the team for 2 games in a bad knee when Kiwi is out with menstrual crapms all year.

I need proof that you're not a dude.

What kind of person advertises they're a girl in their fucking screen name ? Obviously they want the special treatment or attention that comes from being a girl on a forum populated mostly by dudes. There's no other reason to broadcast "tee-hee im a girl :)"
So either a massive attention whore or some fag larping on ST.

I can tell you this, I don't know many girls who are soo into sports and act like analytical dudes writing novellas about their favorite players. I imagine the few that are like that.. Ain't exactly lookers.

[nyspurguy]

You mean to tell me we couldn't trade ALDRIDGE for Rodney Hood and a late first round pick?

[tbdog]

Who the F trades an allstar big for a bench guard? Sacramento?

Hmm interesting

[nyspurguy]

This team needs somebody who can put the ball in the hoop... I'll be damn, the 2 guys we got out are scoring specialists. If Rudy can't do anything else, he get can get a bucket or two. And KAWHI?... The Klaw would have been MVP for sure had he been healthy all year. Kawhi might have been leading the league in scoring.
I just need to see Kawhi out there soon, can Rudy at least come back soon? Maybe right after all star break? If Kawhi and Rudy don't play immediately after all star break...this team is MILK TOAST!

[nyspurguy]

It's sure hard to convince anyone this team isn't BORING

[benefactor]

Seriously, it's time to tank. That's the first time I've ever said that as a Spurs fan. It's the perfect year to do it with all injuries and only being two losses ahead of the 8th seed. A lottery pick, everyone back healthy and a few roster tweaks would have them right back in contention.

[nyspurguy]

Damn L.A...you couldn't play with a sore knee for 2 more games?
These were 2 winnable games. With a 60-75 percent Aldridge we could have won both.
I'm rooting for the 50 streak, thats what this season has been reduced to and come to for me. Unless!...
Unless Kawhi comes back and goes Ham and win us some games going into the playoffs. Wich is my best case scenario.
The Spurs can lose to any team right now.
How many consecutive win streaks(against other teams) were
snapped this season so far?
Come on Kawhi, tell me you'll be ready after all star break.

If Kawhi doesn't come back all the Spurs gotta do is sit L.A. and probably Rudy...do that and this team plummets fast and hard

Kinda too late for a lottery tank job tho

[Ice009]

I don't understand why LA missed these two games if he is still going to play in the All-Star game. Who's decision was that? Why couldn't he have played at least the first game and missed the All-star game instead? I asked this question after the Utah game as that decision had me perplexed. I don't know if it's confirmed that he's playing in the All-Star game for sure, but when I heard that, that surprised me. The Spurs are fighting to make the playoffs, so I wouldn't have thought he'd sit out two regular season games just to play in the All-Star game instead.

That's a horrendous decision, since you never know, these two losses could cost the Spurs a playoff spot at the end of the season.

Bruh, it's just basketball.

I am not here looking for dates or attention.
I am married, and in my personal life I am not lacking for attention. I don’t have kids. Personal life is not why I post here. It’s a hobby, an entertainment.

FINALLY

Welcome aboard, took you long enough :toast

[baseline bum]

Aldridge is actually playing the fucking ASG? What the fuck?

[hater]

:lmao homers refusing to believe we just plain suck

Utha was not even at full strenghth missing their MVP and still handed us our ass. They would be favorites in a series vs us

:cry we must be tanking :cry

[Budkin]

That's why he sat out the last two games, so he'd be ready to play on Sunday!

[spursistan]

If it turns out this dude missed two actual games when his team was short-handed and hanging by a thread in tight playoffs race so he could be ready to play in a fuckin' exhibition :lol..

The optics of this would be terrible. Stuff like that could poison lockerrooms (see Cavs players nearly coming to blows with Kevin Love over his supposed sickness).

Although let me say this: if there are signs of internal tension within the Spurs team, Pop public kowtowing to Aldridge is one of the main reasons that may have engendered it. His mea culpa to LMA came off a bit too generous for a tyrant-coach. Other players may have noticed that and aren't taking his bullshit anymore.

LMA only cares about his image and stats.

[Keepin' it real]

I imagine the few that are like that.. Ain't exactly lookers.

Reminds me of an underrated '80s movie, costarring the great James Coburn.

[UZER]

He has not shown any frustration with the team losing. He's just meandering along, happy that he's getting his.

Yes Kawhi it out, but no one is getting in anyone's face demanding better play or effort. The team is just confused.

I blame Pop and his absolute disdain for player confrontations, especially against other teams, which coincides with his poisonous "it's just basketball" mentality.

How is that? All the lower seeds are two losses apart and the Spurs schedule is brutal down the stretch.

The Spurs are still six wins ahead of the Clippers.

But regular season games are meaningless. :depressed

[weeks]

Ok SAgirl fair enough I'll let it be.

Re: Pop, with no Duncan around and a more typical all star player concerned about his stats, the weakness of his coaching style is becoming more and more apparent

yes, Pop's HoF coaching status is being proven, or not.

[weeks]

Don't get me wrong I still think Pop at his peak was one of the great all time coaches. But we're seeing a lot of problems as a result of his questionable management practices.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

No you don’t.

You're right...do not want...my bad. Apologies.





This forum used to have some fun female posters. All of them are gone...Shelly, SW, Kori of course, among several others. They've been replaced by some illiterate idiots these last few years. You are now in the super minority, whether you are female or not...you're in the group that can write a complete sentence.


But what's really funny, is that even with the lack of females around here, this forum now has more pussies in it than ever.

Wow.... so many truth bombs. :wow

[tholdren]

Spurs need more rest. How can you expect them to play 82 games? Thats like 1600 minutes in over half a year. Basically slavery
