Looks like the LMA from two years ago that came into camp out of shape and used the regular season to get back in shape. The dude is already 33, needs to stop doing that shit.
He needs to know he’s the man. He sulks and disappears when he’s being overshadowed. TBH Pops need to get him touches early, and not catch snd shoot. Post it down. He’s like a diesel engine

[TDomination]

Man what happened with our offense.
Our D has gotten slightly better but now we our offense is a no show.

Ugh 2 terrible losses

[Kurgan]

He eats like a pig in the offseason. Even in Portland, he was like this. He doesn't have the discipline to consistently stay in shape like a true superstar big(TD, KG, Dirk). Pigging out like Shaq only works if you have his freakish size and genetics.

[SouthTexasRancher]

At least Dejounte and Lonnie were not part of this barrel full of fresh green, loose cow patty crap. When the Spurs suck they do a really bang up job of it. LMA looked older than Tim and Manu combined. Well just throw up and move on to the next one.

[RD2191]

:lol spurms

[ElNono]

Church of Rudy Gay, tbh

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Aldridge has played like shit every game outside of one so far. Not too mention the defense has been atrocious. Whiteside looked great due to average players being able to blow by our perimeter defenders.

Bertans should never play the 3 because he isn’t quick enough to guard 3’s. Honestly he can’t really guard any player which is a damn shame because he is a solid offensive player. The guy needs to hit the weight room and get stronger. He can’t make himself quicker but he can make himself stronger!

The other wings outside of Cunningham and to a lesser extent White are terrible on defense. Offense will come and go but defense usually carries over from court to court. The defense was the reason this team last year was able to slide into the playoffs.

[SpurPadre]

I can't wait til Forbes is no longer getting serious minutes, let alone attempting crunch time shots he has no business taking.

[RD2191]

LMA is a fukin scrub. Hated the signing since day 1. How long before he starts bitching about his touches? It's clear he can't play with another star next to him. Seriously, fuck LMA.

The funny thing about Aldridge so far is he is getting good looks but just not converting so far. Maybe things will start to click soon offensively for him

He whined about sharing touches with Brandon Roy. He hated playing next to Lillard to the point where he moved to another team to get away from him. He drove Kawhi out of town. I give him a few more months before he clashes with Derozan.

[SAGirl]

Happy we are struggling that's how we improve :hungry:
Yup. I think if Rudy stays with bursitis it’s tank season. Lamarcus doesn’t look like he did last season. Too early in the season to say, and there’s injuries but I won’t cry if it’s tanking season.

[K...]

game grades: lma FFFFFFFFFF, derozan D, bertans C, Forbers B, Milla A,

Lol

[spurs10]

We missed Gay and Gasol in this game. It was hard to watch.

[TimDunkem]

^Not a good sign when you have to rely on Rudy fucking Gay and the corpse of Pau Gasoft. :lmao

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We missed Gay and Gasol in this game. It was hard to watch.

And the Heat were missing like 5 players. This Spurs team is flat out awful

[Ditty]

This Spurs team is flat out awful

[weeks]

i'm gonna give LMA some time to work his fat ass off coz of how he stood tall for this team last year, and hope he hits his stride towards the second half of the season
coz if he scrubs it up like this all season then his rep for being unable to coexist with a better player is confirmed

[Ditty]

I have only watched one game this season the opener. Seems like not a lot has changed, and we still suck like last year.

[TimmyBuckets]

White is trash
Why is Mills getting 22 shots?
White is trash
Forbes is trash but better than White, who is also trash
LMA is playing like he's fat and old, and is also trash
Gay is our best player outside of erozan? Wow, this team is trash
White is trash

LOL Pop pulling the "soft card"
Whiteside talking like poor man's Embiid in the post game says he scared the SPurs in to TO's

[anon]

Pop brought out the s--t word? Uh oh Aldridge might be thinking about a trade again.

[WallyTiger]

Fuckkkk I can’t switch to another team. I have too many Spurs gears :cuss

:lol

:cry

Don't get my hopes up

[r0drig0lac]

the result would have been the same

[DJR210]

Don't ever make the game thread again, OP. Thanks.

[TDomination]

the result would have been the same

Not likely. its obvious this team needs all its players. Gay has been the 3rd best out there. Not having him vs the Magic and Heat made a difference.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I can't wait til Forbes is no longer getting serious minutes, let alone attempting crunch time shots he has no business taking.

Forbes is trash I agree, but what part of last night was crunch time? That game was over most of the night.

[SpurPadre]

They had a chance to pull within 3 or 2 in the last minute or so and he took an ill-advised 3 instead. He should not get the green light in that situation...EVER.

[Mirrornick]

yeah he seems to get excited and trigger happy right after he makes one shot. When you're down 2-3 possessions, you give the ball to your best proven player and live or die with it. Forbes needs to know his role and stop taking ill advised shots.

[Hoops Czar]

LOL Pop pulling the "soft card"
Whiteside talking like poor man's Embiid in the post game says he scared the SPurs in to TO's

Pop pulls the "soft card" yet, the Spurs' toothless front office is one of the softest in the bussiness, getting bent over backwards by Ujiri in the offseason. I just wish the "soft" media had the balls to call him out on it.

[Slippy]

After watching the game gotta say White showed enough promise at PG spot. In the second half off the bench, his decision making and ability to make pinpoint passes was on full display.

Pop shouldnt have throwen him into the fire as a starter and why mess with Derozans current role on the team?. At Sf Derozans impact was somewhat nullified.

[TimmyBuckets]

Yup. I think if Rudy stays with bursitis it’s tank season. Lamarcus doesn’t look like he did last season. Too early in the season to say, and there’s injuries but I won’t cry if it’s tanking season.

No tanking while Pop is coach. Thats obv.

[SAGirl]

No tanking while Pop is coach. Thats obv.
Can’t be helped if he has players injured that he needs. Unless they swing a trade, I am down for that too.

[TimDunkem]

But, then again, the Spurs "don't do trades". Especially not after the Kawhi drama. Too much turnover too soon. They'll continue to settle on mediocrity if it means barely making the playoffs and selling just enough tickets to stay afloat.

It really feels like the goal of contending every year is over. Of course, you can't win every year, but you can try. Doubling down on the Mills, Gasols, Forbes, and Rudy Gays of the world isn't indicative of a FO that is looking to compete at the highest level.

[DJR210]

He whined about sharing touches with Brandon Roy. He hated playing next to Lillard to the point where he moved to another team to get away from him. He drove Kawhi out of town. I give him a few more months before he clashes with Derozan.

I don't doubt you. He likes to surround himself with lesser talent.. if you notice he only has his faggoty high school secret handshakes that he does with your Pattys and Kyle Andersons
