View Full Version : Has Aldridge lost confidence in his 3 point shot?

I've noticed over the past several games that not only is Aldridge's 3PA down but also his accuracy. I haven't noticed any change in the offense that would cause him to shoot less from the outside. Loss of confidence? Related to thumb injury? Reversion to mean?

Aldridge is 11-34 (32%) his last 11 games from deep.

If that sprain was on his shooting hand then that could attribute to it

I don't think he's ever had that much confidence in his three, tbh.

True. But I do remember he delayed surgery back in 2015 to help the blazers make the playoffs and played some of the best basketball of his career during the 2nd half of the season.

I hate how we adopted Pop's mentality of using kid gloves with LMA... he is allowed to make shit tons of money and suck, but we shit on Murray, White, and Lonnie... At least the young guys play like they care... LMA is out there with a IDGAF attitude...sucking up the joint while lamenting about playing on other teams... he has never done anything for us... Get him the fuck off the team

He sees the writing on the wall and as long as Forbes is on the floor he is just gonna go through the motions.

I have family in the old folks home. The residents get excited like that for tapioca pudding and get a burst of energy just like pop is doing above.

Who cares? Hes a 7 foot soft big who shoots a three. Will never win anything like that.

Hopefully Pop gets his pudding on the flight to OKC or wherever they are going tonight. We don't want him to be grumpy now do we?

He does this annoying thing where he always has to look down at the three point line at the last second before he shoots to see if his feet are behind the line. I’m sure that in no way helps.

The teams are probably scouting him better now. There was bound to be some sort of regression from his avoidance of threes to taking them and hitting them at a league leading percentage. Hopefully now he will adjust even better or take advantage of people closing out by driving to the lane and finishing or kicking out.
