dude is nowhere to be seen, imo
He needs to get on treadmill
Aldridge has been an excellent player for is considering he was just added. He'll be a force to be reckoned with by playoffs...
Last I heard it was a team effort. Is it Aldridges team?
Nope! Because we have the mad scientist on the bench "watching" him instead of actually trying the integrate him into the offense when its obvious he's not fitting as he should. We are a quarter away into our season HAVING PLAYED THE WEAKEST SCHEDULE IN THE LEAGUE and the starters still don't have an ounce of fluidity or precision to it. This is ALL on Pop.
Pop still not coaching him too hard. On Pop for now.
when he starts being at fault. Not now because he's not at fault
No, but he has the ability to be a game-changing, go-to player, IMO.Quote:

Ok I agree, let's just blame LMA every time we lose. Brilliant. He has the ability to be a "go-to player" as everyone else on the team has shown to be, but he's the newest Spur so let's definitely shit on him for his lack of ability to be a game changer in 20+ games with a brand new team.Quote:

The blame game lol
Still adjusting to the offense :(Quote:

Right after players like Green and Mills who has been playing for more than 1 season and have the motivation of a slug to try to win one more championship.
I prefer to play good basketball, and not to get in those "down the stretch" situations.Quote:

He needs the blame because he's really underperforming at the moment and they are paying him millions for what amounts to just slightly above average skills and motivation. That's not gonna cut it on any NBA team for long given the expectations unless Pop initially represented he'd be fine with LaMarcus collecting millions while coasting and eating churros and muchas tamales. Understanding that Pop may be entering the senile years this is entirely possible.Quote:

A lot of time left until the real games, though, fortunately..
his softness around the rim is pretty pathetic..and has nothing to do about system assimilation..
I don't know, man. Ever since I heard that he was losing sleep over choosing a jersey number, I've been concerned that he made be too mentally weakQuote:

If any criticism is due to LMA, Pop needs to be involved in it.
Same for Danny drives.
These guys are executing whatever the scheme is that Pop wants.
We have a winning record, but yea, the soft schedule too.
At some point Pop is going to have to start making some adjustments to their games individually.
OP is one of the best new posters on ST, tbh..
OP is one of the worst new posters. Spurs are 18-5. Second best record in the NBA and easily second best team in the NBA despite wholesale additions and he wants to blame Aldridge. I friggin hate new age Spurs fans.
With the exception of two playoff games against a horrible defensive rockets team he has been a sub par go to player in big game situations. Not to mention has gotten his shit pushed in by zbo, Draymond green and Tiago everytime they have played.
What do you really want from him??
He gets good stats for limited mins.
I'd like him to dunk the ball instead of taking flip shots at the rim, IMOQuote:

Blame for what?
Eventually he needs to be the player everyone was clamoring for in the offseason. He needs to average 20/10 be good defensively, be clutch but also be a team player. It is what it is, we have to get beyond the Warriors somehow and Duncan, Manu and Parker cant do it themselves. We need the young bloods to mature quickly.Quote:

For me, iŽll wait half a season and at least will need to see him fail in a couple of games where the Spurs play more for him.
As of now i donŽt see neither the team helping him nor going to him a lot.
Blame game at 18 and 5. Lol
bump prediction date, january 25th. ...and hopefully march 8th.
agreed. though i have to admit he has been timid with his shot selection at times, i dont think thats a big concern... he never had issues taking a lot of shots with portland. he's just trying a bit too hard to fit in with the "good to great shot" model the spurs haveQuote:

plus all the BS losses last year that ended up dropping us from 2nd all the way down to 6thQuote:

Thread is hilarious... The Spurs are 18-5, and LMA needs to start accepting "blame," while Popovich needs to admit he's a "pussy."
At what point does the OP have to start taking the blame for this?
We've had a laughably easy schedule.Quote:

need to Change his posting style... That's a bit too obvious
So only a 20-3 or a 21-2 record would've been acceptable, whereas an 18-5 record proves incompetence? That seems like an exaggerated expectation to me. I'd guess any player or member of the coaching staff would've said before the season that an 18-5 start would be pretty impressive.Quote:

They've played 24 and lost five: and three have been by three points. Are we blaming him because we arent 24-0 like GSW?Quote:
