it took him awhile to get going last season and this was 3 games in 4 nights (which I doubt Timmy ever had to play at age 34 but I do not know). He still should have been more succesful against the Clippers ... the Lakers have a lot of big bodies to use against him though
Pop just gotta play Aldridge ball. Establish him early. That's still the best chance for this team to win games. Otherwise he's not in rhythm and throws up bricks. Then he gets disengaged on defense. I also don't understand why people say he can't shoot 3s, he's been shooting them since his Portland days, Pop just has to run plays for him to get open from 3.
As i said in the predictions thread if LMA has regressed, the season is already over. This game is not the appropriate sample size since the Lakers have bigs to throw at him but the previous games weren't good either. LMA is soft we know that since day one so if his shot isn't falling and his defense is anaemic he's practically useless.
We need to trade both him and DDR... We will definitely get better...we will have a more free flowing offense, and whoever we get in return (plus draft picks) should be ppl that facilitate the current state of the NBA, even if they're role players
The guy is past his prime.
One reason I wanted white to start and DeroZan to be benched. Absolutely let's LMA get warm before Murray and DeroZan take over.
I've consciously ovserved his 3 ball attempts since the Portland days, and he definitely hesitates when shooting them since becoming a Spur. Odd considering LMA said he would make it a focus of his game going on...what? 2 or 3 years now?
When he rejoins the Blazers most likely.
you mean like Trey Lyles, DeMar DeRozan, Derrick White, Dejounte Murray, Jonathon Simmons, Kyle Anderson, etc., etc.? Pretty sure that's on the coach
Dis-engaged. Thats exactly what's happening. If I had to Criticize LA it's that mental aspect of his game but as you rightly pointed out hes a rythm guy . We have known this for awhile now. Unlike Demar however when LA is a no show he doesnt impact the spurs negatively as much as Demars ball dominant game does.. nor does he impede the progress of spurs youth.
Yap there are so many reasons why Demar should be off the bench. Doubt pop would go for it. It's easier to whip the likes of Derek, Dj and Lonnie than Demar. He being too emo to handle demotion and pop so heavily invested in the Demar trade.
Yeah, I advocated this last season and was informed that I was an advocate of tanking.
When sports considerations take a backseat to personal ones...
there's no way to expect to get trade value from derozan and last year we were down quality guards and wings. This year it's plausible that murray, white, forbes can replace him but there's no rush to do so and pop probably likes derozan........so yeah,who knows what's going to happen.
