It’s going to be a huge stain on the franchise if they end up retiring his jersey.
Wasn't it with you that I argued about the relative value of on/off so early in the season, when you were still trying to sell the idea that playing Cunningham over Bertans was the right move?
How can it be a stepback when I've been saying it all along?![]()

Team would be better if Aldridge was a better passer when he recieves the ball on the block with his back to the basket. He miss a lot of cutters to the basket. It seems that the 1st thing he is thinking when receiving the ball in this situation is what type of move he should do to get a shot off. If he was to look for cutters 1st (Like Duncan did in his later years) the 1st unit would run more smoothly. Every game he misses at least 4 to 5 of these type of passes that would lead to easy points.
If only this were the norm and not the exception.![]()
Him and derozan are always better than Beal and porter which you wanted them traded for a week ago
Because you go radio silent when you seem to be wrong and bump when you seem to be right. #WinningBall
Maybe, I was frustrated when I posted that, but I'm not sure.
Beal and Porter would be pretty great fits here, tbh.
Beal could do the same job DeMar is doing, maybe even better because he has a 3 pt shot and Porter would be that defensive minded big wing we are needing so much.
Then Aldridge's normal production can be replicated with slightly bigger roles for White, Gay and Poeltl.
I don't know man, I really think Beal and Porter could be good fits here. But anyway, never going to happen.
Beal and Porter aren't even as good as one of those players.
I don't want to be a Debbie Downer after such a great win and performance by Aldridge but I have to be honest, and I'm pretty confident this thread will never prove to be one of those "times I'm wrong" threads you speak of, tbh.![]()
I could accept Beal over derozan but porter is the 4th best by a wide margin.
You absolutely want to be that.
I Would have never bumped this thread tonight, tbh. But folks just want to talk about it and I have to keep it real, tbh.
Trust me, I would much rather be propping guys up after such a good win, tbh.
You flew into here three minutes after someone else bumped it. If you didn't want to on Aldridge, you just would've stayed out of it for one night.
"Trust me"
I want to prop guys up and I also want to defend myself from oportunistic bumpers, tbh.![]()
You'd rather be here because here you are.
Apparently you also rather be here, tbh.![]()
Based on what exactly? He's the sole reason this team kept alive its consecutive winning seasons and playoff streak. He's been apart of the transition era from the Big 3 and was part of the franchise record 67 win team. He's been here for 2 of the 7 60 win seasons. He's been the primary defensive presence for at least 2 if not 3 of his 3 1/2 years here. He's averaging 74 games per year and has been the primary workhorse over that same period. He's the leading rebounder and scorer since Duncan. Assuming he finishes out his career here and stays healthy, he'll have scored close to 10,000 points as a Spur. He's going to finish with more than 20,000 points which will likely place him, at least temporarily, in the top 40 NBA players of all time. He's already the leading native born Texan in career points. And he'll be a HOFer to boot. There have been far less deserving players with their number retired not only in sports history but also in Spurs history.
I didn't lie about wanting to be somewhere else. That was you.![]()
Well, enjoy my thread son.
I am enjoying your running back here every time someone calls you out. You come off as really desperate when the Spurs win.
Not at all son. I'm really happy when the Spurs win, tbh. Knowing that we will never be able to trully contend for les with the flawed "stars" we currently have I have adjusted my expectations so that I can enjoy regular season wins a lot more.
Absolutely 1000% no way will Aldridge be a hall of famer.
Never gonna happen.
would have gone for 50 today if it wasn't a blowout tbh.
