That means starting 2 bigs in the SL, which will not work in the league today. Neither LMA nor Poodle is capable of defending a mobile, stretch 4 on the perimeter.
True. He’s playing almost exclusively as a center now, but this time he’s surrounded by midgets meaning there’s no help in the paint, the others rebounding is deficient and when Pop doesn’t have him playing next to 4 guards two of which are below 6’2”, he’s next to Cunningham. He’s playing with the least help in the paint now that Gay is in and out of the infirmary and Father Time caught up with Gasols foot.
pop has to figure out how to get him going bc otherwise they’re just tanking without saying they are. Wink wink

Makes no sense. Even at 33 he should be much better. Needs therapy, and quick.
He has a short term memory problem if he doesn't remember 2016.
MVP level post
If that's what he needs to be good, then he needs to be traded... Great players are great regardless... Heck... Good players are good regardless...
Trade... Marc Gasol for Aldridge:

No, I just think he is gassed as the game and season go along. If the Spurs had a workhorse banging for offensive and defensive rebounds, I just think it would help him tremendously. Dirk is one of the greats and he needed a workhorse in the middle. LMA game is not power. At the moment, if LMA misses a jumper, it's a defensive rebound.
Move LMA back to PF, and provide a center and his game will miraculously reappear. He does not do well as the lone big on the court.
I agree and honestly at this point I don't think a LMA/Poeltl lineup is any worse than Cunningham/LMA.
This. I always thought the schtick that he had to be the #1 or he sucked was ridiculous. He picks and chooses when to play hard and he just doesn’t do it often enough. It’s too bad, the guy’s huge
A defensive center who's also a good passer would help the whole team, but Aldridge has to get his shooting touch back, no matter what anybody else does.
The problem with LMA is only that he's shooting so poorly.
Centers like Whiteside contesting his shot makes it a lot harder for him to hit them. And Aldridge is the type of player who then starts missing easy bunnies too once the jumper's not falling. I also recognized how he doesn't shoot 3s at all this season, even though every season they say he will shoot more 3s
Not without Spurs adding a sweetener. Why would Memphis trade a franchise icon for a guy who isn't playing as well?
He's been rebounding like a mad man this season. Can't knock his effort
LMA playing pissed off tonight. When he's motivated and shots are falling he's so good. Guess you could say that about a lot of guys lol.
Aldridge just helped train wreck the Warriors. He's baaaack! For one game, anyway. Now we'll see how long it lasts.
Trade LMA right now before his value drops
jk
good game by LMA. His best one this season.
him!! He’s pretty inconsistent..I just hope he can maintain that intensity every night
He hasn't been inconsistent this year tbh
If anything he was consistently bad
That LMa
Whatever he and the team need to do to keep it up I hope they do it. And I mean offensively. Seems like he has been consistently good defensively this year.

Say what you want about his shot, he’s putting in workman like effort this year. Go Spurs Go. Great win tonight.
He does play better, move faster when he looks pissed. With other teams he seems to relax
he can not, otherwise he would be a superstar
