In Theory, you want to inolve aldridge in offense....

But let's be real here, wanting a one dimensional player to be a 1B kinda guy..A guy witb zero court awareness.. lacks the ability to understand how to draw defenses and pass out, fades away against smaller guys etc..It's not going to workout.

In Practice, he's a ball stopping Soft big that stagnates the offense. Check The first quarter for reference. If Leonard didnt start playing Point Forward in the last 4 minutes, and Aldridge was still out there fading away against Wesley Johnson, we would have been down 50 points.

Parker sucks..Why does he insist on policing the spurs for another 6 years.

Also, Why Is Pop an attention in National TV? subbed out Leonard when the spurs was making a run in the third with the lead cut down to 6, also experimenting with Murray in the last minute of every quarter.


I am convinced, Pop is more concenred about his own brand than acutally winning

Eh, if Aldridge is on your team, he needs to get as many shots as possible, tbh..they knew what they were signing when they acquired him..

He's not a playmaker, never has been..that part of his game hasn't regressed..

Unfortunately, he isn't doing the things that he typically excels at, either..

I agree that the guy needs touches to be effective. Otherwise, he seems to just go through the motions.

Sure..But surely, PATFO would have known Aldridge was going to take massive dip in usage rate by signing Pau..

The same applies for Parker, too..people don't want him to shoot the ball, but he's literally useless when he isn't taking shots..it isn't his fault, he has to shoot, since he's not an effective off-ball player..

If you have Parker on the floor, he needs to run a lot of offense and take as many shots as the opposing team gives him, despite what we want..

You need a big to play like a big...you know, actually mix it up in the paint every now and then. But he can't - his only thing is the fadeaway, so I don't see how "he needs touches" helps anyone.
