You're weird.
Pops hand at work. Scoring 30 for the Spurs is like getting the wrong drive-thru food order IN your favor. It’s rare.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to undermine LMA's accomplishments. The beauty of Duncan's numbers was how efficiently he generated them (despite poor free-throw shooting - which LMA doesn't struggle with).
LMA is a top 15 player in the league. If he and Kawhi (a top 3 player) ever develop real chemistry they'd be fearsome as . Even with their games clashing they produced two 60 win seasons together.
Let's hope we get to see that chemistry develop next season (or by some absolute miracle - this playoffs).
Lma less of a crier than kl. Who woulda thought? ... oh yeah, me
he's having a great individual season tbh... the only 2 years he's averaged more ppg he was shooting 45-46% from the field. he's at 50+ this year scoring 22.7 per
only thing lacking statistically is rebounding. 8.4 is nice, but he's a guy who's averaged 9-11 before
At utilizing traditional stats without context. Aldridge averaged 9-11 rpg from '13-'15, but did so while averaging 37.7, 36.2 and 35.4 mpg, with rebound %'s of 14, 16.5 and 15.5.
This season, he's averaging 33.5 mpg, with a rebound % of 13.8. In other words, he's rebounding at virtually the same rate he did in '13 (and generally has, outside of '14-'16), but playing about 4 less mpg, so naturally his average slides.
That and he's playing alongside fairly good rebounders for their positions. Both Kyle and Dejounte statistically rebound better than replacement players.

quit whining. his rebounding% is lower than '13-'15 and his rebounds per minute are also lower.

phenomanul makes a good point tho
yeah that's what I was going to say, Murray steals some rebounds from his own teammates here and there
LA being dominant again. I was the biggest LA-hater here after last season but damn!... Where the would we be without him. I absolutely have to believe KL is truly damaged which really sux cuz they would have been great at full force.
Jesus Christo. What do you guys not understand about the quality of the supporting cast compared to Then? Timmy had prime or nearly prime Manu and Tony for almost the entirety of his career.
Don't misunderstand me. Timmy is a god and I miss him. But what LMA is doing this year is like nothing Timmy ever had to bear on his own. This is the single greatest 'put your team on your back and carry them' in Spurs history. Bar none.

How generous of you.
ing pathetic "fans." Be grateful he's a Spur because without him, we are challenging for a top 5 pick. But maybe that's what you consider fandom.
Maybe like the Robinson era? LA lacks dRobs talent but the situation is similar. Imagine LA this rest of the year with a supporting cast that includes a 2012-2014 version of KL?! Now that would be championship material. (That KL because he wasn’t a diva type guy back then... he was a super duper duper role player back then.... missing link type)
Yeah, Robinson is the only possible parallel. Even then, he had Sean Elliott, Avery, and Ellie, and a few others that were relatively reliable players in their primes.
The second highest scorer per game is Kawhi for all of 9 games. Then Rudy who has missed more than half the season. Then a 37 year old Pau.
Not too mention the 26 odd starting lineups he's had to deal with due to the insane amount of injuries.
LA is leading the League in most times being the highest scorer for their team. Without him, we are squat this year.
Thankfully, I think we have some young talent on the way. Murray will be a stud. I think White will too. Perhaps Anderson will continue to improve along with Bertans.
That's a pretty good base to go along with the older vets as LA declines with age.
I appreciate what LMA is doing this year, but to say he is doing more and carrying more than 03 Duncan is some of the stupidest I have ever heard. That 03 team was young players that weren't there yet and old washed up players, and Timmy carrying their asses kicking and screaming too the le.
This dumb ass statement makes me question when you started really following the Spurs.
A prime Tim Duncan would feast on this league in this era of soft big men. He wouldn’t need Manu and Parker.
Lol. No, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
ing dumbass. The starting line for the 2003 Finals was:
Duncan
Robinson (yes, aging)
Parker (still raw, but coming into prime)
Bowen (defensive guru)
Stephen Jackson (solid two way player)
Compare to tonight's starting lineup:
LA
Anderson
Green
Murray
Mills
Go to bed, son.
Lol, when I became a fan...when you were still a nightmare in your daddy's nuts.
You might be right about being way older, would explain why you are ing senile.
Robinson wasn't "aging" this was literally his last season and he was barely playing more than 20 minutes a game in the playoffs.
Parker being raw is an understatement, it was his second season, he got benched for Speedy ing Claxton in the playoffs at times. "coming into his prime"
Stephen Jackson was probably the second best player in the starting lineup which is telling.
Sure bowen was a great defender, but he was comparable offensively at this point to Murray which is no small feat. The shot 37% from the field in the playoffs
Of course you glossed over the benches as well, can't say I blame you though. If you thought Duncans starting lineup was bad the bench was even worse. The best bench player was far and away a rookie manu.
Was Duncans starting lineup slightly better, maybe, honestly hard to say though. But want to know what the difference is dumb ? Duncan carried that garbage to a le, while if Kawhi doesn't come back this team is a second round exit at best.
Comparing LMA to Timmy Da Gawd. Get the out of here got.
Hey, you phobic numnutz, they met the Nets in the finals. That finals was widely considered a dud because the NBA was not like it is today. Why?

There were no Rockets. No Dubs. No Cavs with current incarnation of Bron. No up tempo high flying three point track meets. It was post. More post. And then more post.
And while you mull the fact that I'm right in your head and go into a fit of conservative self hatred, know the following:
That 2003 team will contain 4 starters (3 already there) that have their jerseys hanging from the rafters, you daft dimwit. And a 5th coming off the bench in his wavy hair prime athleticism.
Peace the out.
Oh, and excuse me for lol'ing at your laughable attempt to say we have a better bench today than that 2003 Championship team.
((Mic drop))

This franchise is in such a weird place, tbh..
Aldridge has been a monster, but he's already demonstrated that he doesn't care about being a Spur and is unhappy sharing the spotlight with another star(asked for a trade just a minute ago, and also didn't get along with Lillard)..his value was at an all-time low following the playoffs and even if it wasn't, he would be difficult to trade for anything decent, anyways(he's way too good to join a tanking team, but he isn't good enough to lead a team to a le)..
On the other side, the primary star of the team has his own personal doctors, has no relationship with his teammates and may never return to play again
Would have been a great year to tank, but that's easy to say in hindsight..they had no idea that Kawhi would be sitting out all year and that Aldridge would turn back the clock, it's just an overall ty position for the organization..nothing positive to look forward to at the moment..
Dude, the Shaq-Kobe lakers would kill the Rockets and Warriors, and 03 Tim stopped them single handedly. Just admit that you got caught up in the heat of the moment and said something stupid. It happens to us all, but when you keep defending it, you just look like a dumbass
Ok, 16 post guy. There's nothing to admit. The '03 Spurs had a much deeper team. Only you and the post you're defending would stake such idiotic ground as to say LA has anywhere near as great a supporting cast. I honestly cannot even believe you exist. I think you must be a bot.
It's far more impressive to me if LA leads *this* team to 50 wins than TimVP leading the '03 team to the le.
