2017 WCF Game 3: Spurs vs GS BAN sponsored by Kawhichael's return (8 PM CT/4 AM Riga)

[timtonymanu]

I really want to understand, and I know folks are obviously seeing the terrible performance by LMA. But honestly, what is wrong with him? Was he always this poor? Where is the All-Star player? Why does every big seem to be stronger and smarter than him? Why is he missing put-backs, missing bigs cutting behind him, lumbering on defense, etc.

Seriously, what the ? Is he high?

Always been the case. People get wowed by his Portland numbers but other than the Rockets series in 2014, he was a no show in the playoffs with Portland.

[spursistan]

He's entered the "RJ Zone"..

[TE]

You'd think in this situation at home the refs wouldn't be sucking their balls but as usual. Curry could've done anything he wasn't getting #4.

Nah man this isn't anything on the refs. The Spurs are severely undermanned and even more so when Aldridge straight up punks out like that.

[DMC]

Damn - with full squad we were there to compete. Now we need some kind of miracle to win...

And West hitting that 3 is just funny considerating how Waste he was last year

It's a perfect example of how most NBA players are pretty ing good until they are needed. That's why roll players do well during blowouts.

[sammy]

Manu & Simmons the only ones playing tonight! Green, Mills, LMA & Gasol are no shows once again! A 40 y/o with more heart than these young players! What an embarrassment!

[TMNT]

I hate Aldridge more than pachulia

He can't handle the pressure of a must-win playoff game. He can't be on the team next year. His presence will cause a lot of resentment on the squad.

[marinoman]

Was there ever any updates on David Lee?

Out for the game, leg injury

[SAGirl]

Unpopular opinion: Spurs gonna miss Manu more next season than Tim this year..

I have missed Tim a lot ...
I have complained about Manu but I am sure I will miss him too.
So many open layups Tim would have blocked this season. Gasol and him is night and day. Believe you me I missed Tim.

[DarrinS]

Got a few of their players with 3 fouls. Attack

Man if there's one silver lining in all this is that everyone now sees the light on Aldridge.

yup,esp when defense is not set against them.

kawhi is just a monster

[Manudona]

He's entered the "RJ Zone"..

Every basket? He barely had one and i think it was a mistake

[FkLA]

Tbh its not all on LMA. He's a ing role player at this point. Should've just kept riding the beautiful game as long as they could've. Instead Pop decided to force feed him as soon as he was reinserted into the game and all the ball movement died. Go down with Manu and Juice not with this pussy.

LMA has 2 quarters to redeem himself or he should be gone come next season.

lol, everyone including myself says, one more game, a few more games to redeem himself. I said he has to play great the rest of the series for me to not be angry at him. He's not going to redeem himself. Wow, he has he killed his trade value. Who the heck would want him. Spurs are going to have to trade him for 30 cents on the dollar at this point. What do you guys think his trade value would be after these playoffs? I was looking for the 40 point Aldridge from game two OKC series tonight. I don't know if that was a fluke now or what.

Does anyone think the Spurs could actually get a good return for him? I didn't think the Kings would want him for Cousins last season, but now I think his value has dropped even more. They wouldn't have even traded us Rudy Gay for him at this point, and right now I would take that if we could go back in time.

Mostly true but they are getting away with hacking and taking the ball.

But...but your eyes.. ..

Just like a certain Klaynus on that GS roster. LMA has probably had more good games than him this postseason.

Yet you still insist he's a much better offensive player than Kawhichael.

When he's in the game they instantly force feed him like he's prime shaq

[spursistan]

He has no lift..That's what the Diaw diet does for you..

[Ice009]

Because it proves nothing. do you want me to face time you or call you on the phone? Or fly to Australia. Stfu fake tough guy. I never said I would beat you either. I just called you a pussy. It's a stupid internet argument, it's not real life. The fact that you need to validate your fake tough guy act with the old "come at me here," just shows how much of a pussy you actually are.

That's the way I react in real life if you were to say it to me. It would be a fist fight within one minute (unless the person that said it backed down or apologized). The fact that we're online, I can't do anything about it, and that pisses me off.

[sammy]

God damnit Manu. Missed your last 3 wtf

you asshole! He's playing good compared to no shows LMA, Grren, Gasol & Mills who are no shows! He misses 3 free throws & you attack him but he has over 13 pets compared to the others!

[r0drig0lac]

great pass by simmons
