LMA in a big game = disappears

[houston spurs fan]

We need to see him and our full squad playing together in the playoffs before writing him off. Comparing him to RJ is just plain foolish...

Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania are the non Nordic countries on the Baltic Sea. And Slavic women are way hotter than American women, just sayin.

I kinda agree

I agree b/c LaCarcass has never played a playoff game & didn't get his lunch snatched by washed up Z-Bo

[look_at_g_shred]

Sticking by my guy LMA. Thick and thin.

[timtonymanu]

So he needs Timmy AND Kawhi holding his hand at the same time for him to play like an alpha. smh.

[daslicer]

We'll see what happens come playoff time and only then will I judge him.

nothing we can do know, trade deadline has passed. Spurs will have to live and die with this diva.

Hmmmmmm, ok bro....

You could be right or wrong about LMA but I'm not going to whine about it all day like everybody does after every terrible game he has. I will leave the complaining and venting for when the Spurs are actually eliminated from the playoffs. The odds are against the Spurs to win it all but I'm optimistic they have a chance in . Right now they are just playing for that chance in and we will see what happens come playoff time.

This place erupted when we signed him. Literally had more visitors and new sign ups (albeit tons of trolls) than when we won in2014. I've got my concerns too but it's way too early to write the guy off. That's Laker style...

LMA hasn't played well against the top teams this year outside of the one win against the Clippers but it works both ways. People who hate him for not playing well in these games also have to realize without LMA the spurs are probably battling for 5-8 in the Western Conference. They would be in world of pain right now had they kept Splitter. For me the regular season is all about the standings and not so much about quote on quote big games because there is zero big games during the regular season.

[NameLess Scrub]

Not writing him off, but worried.

I'm getting tired of hoping he'll take charge against good teams only to see get punk'd.

It's been nice seeing him dominate lesser teams, but will not be enough.

[SAGirl]

Worst part about it is him getting outplayed offensively by cats that aren't known for their offensive prowess:

Clippers:
-Cole/DeAndre: 4 FGs each
-LaCarcass: 3 FGs

Cavs:
-Tristan: 7 FGs
-LaCarcass: 2 FGs

Worriers:
-Draymond: 3 FGs
-LaCarcass: 2 FGs

Those guys have legit point guards who are legit stars... nit going to defend this performance by LMA but when your PG is playing like pure trash what do you expect??? Send Tony to play with all those forward s and watch them look like turds particularly last night's Tony. We better hope Tony wakes the heck up.

He defers too much when TD is out there. I also blame Tony and Pop for not getting him the ball in the right spots...it's all a work in progress though.

[T_L_P]

He's 30 years old. He's not like an aging Robert Horry that can time off during the regular season.

I'm being sarcastic.

Anyone who watched Portland knew LMA was a huge underperformer in the postseason. Why people are surprised that he doesn't raise his game against good teams is surprising to me.

Houston fans do not agree...

[DeRozan m8]

He should be okay today....its just the Lakers.

Unless we get off to a really bad start

[dbreiden83080]

Tim Duncan as his best obviously he is not..

Another good player commanding max money.. But a true franchise level player... Not really.

[All Mighty Janitor]

Part of me is curious about what his performance would have been if KL played and Duncan sat while West started. Better spacing and he doesn't seem to defer when its West on the floor instead of Duncan.

Yeah, the spacing could have been part of the problem. It's one of the reasons it's difficult for Kawhi to post up at times.

Last night, LMA was just missing easy mid-range jump shots (his bread and butter).

He'll either make them when it counts or he won't.

Till then, he gets my benefit of the doubt in this "make-or-miss" league.

Funny that was the same excuse last year for Tony. LMA will pick it up though. I'm sure of that.
