LA: He’s still learning how to play with DeMar; once he does, Spurs plan to be dominant.

[alpha_HaZE]

Oh, boy those are big words, for someone that hasn't played well or ever was that dominant.

Spurs and dominant in the same sentence

What the is there to learn? Get out of the way if DeMar is trying to score, and when you are open actually hit your jumpers and do the one thing you're supposed to be good at.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

He needs to learn how to put the ball in the damn hoop first

[Joseph Kony]

OP: still learning how to embed tweets; once he does, he will be mediocre

[NASpurs]

Did he also forget how to make open jumpers because of DeMar?

[HWoodNixon]

Oh god this is hilarious. Can we please trade Aldridge already?

[spurs10]

Anyone able to post the tweet? It sounds like a good post.

[GAustex]

LMA misses more short shots and “and ones” at the basket than anyone-it seems

This, make your long jumpers and be productive on Offense.

What really bugs me about LA is that he makes excuses.

He struggles this year, oh we are still figuring out how to play with DeMar.

He struggled in his first two years; it was Pop that tried to change him.

In Portland; it was Damian Lillard... blah blah.

In retrospect, LA is worst than because we got rid of sooner than later.

The guy keeps making excuses and refuses to change even though the game has changed dramatically.

Pop, Timmy, Manu and Tony have all adapted and transformed their games to stay compe ive. With LA he refuses to change, thus Spurs have to play old school basketball.

[duncan2k5]

Trade this guy already... Wtf... Everything has to be about him

To be fair, RJ only stated at the time that he was learning the system and how to fit in his role. It was only years later that he said he was dealing with nagging back problems and personal issues. LMA has a new excuse every year.

If Aldridge were actually good and dependable, this would be a strong team, even with a ty-ass bench with crap like Bertans on it. LMA and DDR is a serious 1-2 punch. But, , man, how can Aldridge struggle learning how to exist with other players so much? Holy .

[Spurs Homer]

lol

Spur fan is trashing the best or maybe 2nd best player the spurs have.

Hopefully Derozan continues being an all star then both can keep the spurs above water.

Don't get the Aldridge hate at all. Timmy, Tony, Manu, Kawhi - are gone - this is as good as the spurs will get - learn to live with it.

The thing is, you don't want to be just as good as this for more than a year.

You should be either contending or losing and getting picks/making chnages to get better.

Mediocrity is a no-no.

Well of course - but remember;

When LA was a free agent he was THE free agent to get and the Spurs competed and got him.
Every spur fan was happy.

Right now who are they going to get or trade for that is better?

I wished they would have dangled Kawhi before the draft and gotten a top 5 pick at least but they didn't and part of that reason was because Kawhi ed the spurs and they had no more leverage.

Why is everyone in a panic after 20 games?

No one panics after 20 games, I have always said LA should go.

Giving Kawhi up for a draft pick would be silly unless you get Doncic but again hindsight is 20/20 and still, we don't know that Doncic will be better than DeMar, and who knows maybe Lonnie proves to be as good as anyone we could have drafted.

Perhaps excuses but there’s definitely something there.
