There were times when he had the ball in the blocks against Plumlee, and didn't/couldn't get a shot he liked. The whole team was clanking shots, and by the second half nobody except Manu looked like they wanted to take a shot. They passed up a bunch of open looks, only to get forced into taking much worse shots.
They held their opponent to 80 points, won by 13, only had 6 TO's, got a load of assists, and outscored Portland in the paint 36-24. And you cheese s are seriously trying to read the look on LMA's face to find something to piss yourselves about? Did you ever think that maybe it was because Aldridge led the Spurs with 23 points, the first time they played Portland, so they made sure he wasn't going to beat them tonight? Or do you just not think the other team has anything to do with what happens on the floor?
The Spurs mostly took what Portland gave them. They took a BUNCH of open shots, and they just kept rattling out. If those shots had been dropping, they would have sagged off LMA, and he would have made them pay. He may have been a little off tonight, but the way this team is put together nobody has to play hero ball. There are 71 games left, and Aldridge will get his share of the buffet.
