The one posting on ST on christmas morning, tbh.
how about christmas night?
The Spurs need LMA to play big against The Joker tonight. They are without some of their key players and should take advantage. With a loss tonight and at Denver, it doesn’t get easier and Spurs easily could find themselves back at the bottom of the West again, next to Suns.
Nothing wrong with that. That's like posting a sunday night. Perfect moment to be at home doing nothing.
Would you trade LMA for Draymond?
I dont think that you get much Value for LMA. Desperate Teams like Washington, but they themselves have nothing we could use. (no Beal and Porter are not good options for spurs)
Bump, Aldridge ball when he scores more than 20 damn sure is winning basketball
Aldridge even with way better than normal efficiency still dead even at +/- with a big fat 0. Poeltl on the other hand, the biggest mark on the game with +15![]()
But sure, if Aldridge could shoot 70% from the field everynight, he would be a more efficient player, tbh.
When it wasn't?
I don't get why he doesn't play like a man more often. I mean yeah, shooting 70% isn't sustainable but what is sustainable is being aggressive and not settling for nothing but soft ass fadeaways. He's so much better when he runs the floor and/or plays big. He can bully just about anybody in the league in the post when he plays big.
Bonner years.
Seriously. The headline of this game is Jokic's being held to 4 and 4 and you jump on individual +/-.
Problem with LMA is not the offense, but the Defense. He gives up many points, which negates his points offense. For comparison, Poeltl made today 6 points, but on the defensiv End he at least saved 20 points against Denver. Thats the difference.
Jokic was held to that because Pop decided to double everytime he got the ball, that's also why Denver shot uncharestically good from 3 pt land. Which might also he the reason why the Spurs couldn't make a difference while Aldridge was on the floor, despite a hot shooting night, tbh.
GTFO with your stupid, generic take. LMA is a good defender.
"couldn't make a difference"
Spurs +/- while Aldridge was on the floor: 0. That's the absolute literal definition of not being able to make a difference, tbh.![]()
So Bertans was detrimental to the team.
OK.![]()
First, no need to be insulting.
Second, LMA has the Worst Defence Rating of the Team, besides Cunningham who probably was benched because of that.
Third, his bad defense down the Strecht has cost the spurs a W @ Houston. And this kind of Defense he has shown, i see in every game.
Fourth, you have direct comparison between LMA and Poeltl on Defense. If you watched them closely, you will see the difference in their Approach to Defense.
Fifth, which leads to my original Argument that Poeltl does more for the Team, because his Defense outweighs everything LMA does on offense and his lack on Defense. Instead of insulting me, a counter argument which could explain your point of view, would be more fruitful.
Of course Bertans wasn't detrimental, the Spurs were 1 pt worse with him in the court today though.
I didn't say Aldridge was detrimental either, tbh. I said the Spurs couldn't make a difference with him on the court, which is true. That doesn't mean Aldridge sucked, if it wasn't for Aldridge's production the Nuggets might have won the game by double digits the way they shot the ball tonight. That doesn't make my "couldn't make a difference" comment less true. In fact, I actually said exactly that: that the Nuggets' flukey 3pt shooting is what might caused Aldridge's +/-.
+/- is ponitless for a single game, but since folks wanted to bump this thread for the one time every 10 games he shoots 70% from the field, then I can laugh at the fact that, even on a night like this, he couldn't be a net positive on terms of +/-.
FWIW, I don't like the fact that I'm being seen as a LA hater, tbh.I support the guy, I want him to play well, I want the Spurs to win with him, I want him to make the ASG. I'm just not a homer that's going to pretend that everything is fine when this dude fadeaways his way to 5 for 20 shooting nights, tbh.
The Walkback
Never said +/- wasn't pointless without enough sample size, tbh. So I don't see the walkback.
of course you don't.
