Was Aldridge worth it, tbh?

[DeadlyDynasty]

He will defer in the playoffs

[SoonerSpur512]

In all honesty, I hope Aldridge is 100% worth it in the playoffs and doesn't have an ugly decline for the length of his contract..he has been the 5th best player on the team, but it's alright, because they have a dominant record..at some point, he will need to become a star again, though..

I hope this isn't deja vu, tbh..last year, I was the first poster that saw the onset of Parker's decline and made several threads about it in late November/early December(the media didn't begin acknowledging his decline until mid-January)..I was viciously attacked and insulted by most of the forum(4 of the most vocal and sensitive posters about it posted on the last page in this thread, btw), to the extent of receiving death threats in my PMs..Apo received even more brutality than I did, although he probably took the threads too far, to be fair..

Unfortunately, I was 100% correct about Parker, last year, and most of the forum turned on him in April, 5 months after I began posting about it..hopefully Aldridge doesn't suffer the same fate, as the weight gain is worrisome, just like TP, last season..

5th best player on the team? Wtf?

So when Parker got hurt with his hamstring you figured that his play would decline. What else? That working out helped build Kawhi's muscle mass or perhaps you could tell us that Timmy wears knee braces?

Youre like an insurance commercial taking credit for that is state and national law.

Most of the top 5 posters knew porker needed a role change early last season. He is playing better because of it. If only pop would have just done that last year.

[dabom]

ing ty posters. I should roll call on all of them gots again.

[ChumpDumper]

lol HH PMed for help.

Chinook take care of my light work.

I think Tony's decline became obvious in 2014 when he was being rested b/c of a "variety of maladies" along w/ the 2014 postseason (besides the Lillard matchup) although not as steep. When Reggie Miller is point out that the "Spurs might win if Parker doesn't return" then it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

[dabom]

You didn't know got. Talking in hindsight.

Op is a got "tbh"

He was great in the 4th, looks like he did last year in November/December, tbh..

Parker looked better last November, even without the 3s, against a much more difficult schedule than what the Spurs have currently faced(3rd easiest schedule in the NBA, so far)..he was easily getting to the rim and making his jump shots..

In a nuts , embrace every possible narrative for yourself at some point. One of them is bound to be right.

IKR, how could Pop have forgotten to feature ter just as much as LMA?

this was well before the alleged hamstring injury..

You wouldn't know it if you read SpursTalk, tbh..I don't think you were here at the time, but 75% of the forum melted down over myself, apalisoc, dabom and Fkla saying Parker should change his role, should be benched, should lose weight, etc..it was ridiculous, asking for banning, claiming we aren't real Spurs fans, etc..the same posters also had the audacity to bump my "Clippers in 7" thread after the Spurs took a 3-2 lead, busting their nut early, disgusting..

4 of the most sensitive and vocal posters about it have posted in the past 2 pages, I won't name them, though, they know..

[HarlemHeat37]

5th best player on the team? Wtf?

So far, this year:
1. Kawhi
2. Duncan
3. Parker
4. Ginobili
5. Aldridge

Hmmm... I think it is more like:

3. Aldridge
4. Duncan
5. Ginobili

1. Kawhi
2. Duncan

D-West coming for that ass now that he's finishing strong at the rim since Josh Smith humiliated him; LMA on the other hand has regressed the past 2 games after punking Blake.

[Kawhitstorm]

Hmmm... I think it is more like:

1. Kawhi
2. Parker
3. Aldridge
4. Duncan
5. Ginobili

If you go by actually earned Win-shares then that's how they stack up except Patty is above Manu b/c of minutes played. WS/48 has LMA ranked below Manu/Tim.

1. Kawhi

Dude is desperate for attention. Say a bunch of stuff to get people riled up, make asenine threads and points, etc...just a contrarian tbh...

[AFMadison]

Jesus, I hope so. He always relies on that stchick where he gives a player a backhanded compliment or insinuates some shortcoming, and then when he's proven wrong, responds with "I actually like him tbh.. I never said I didn't like him.. you vanilla player fans are just reading into it imho"

A few smileys and some (TBH, IMHO, or IMO's) and they think it all goes away, sad.

[cutewizard]

Its Pop

then RC

then Messina

[Mr Bones]

Link? You're using the example of Parker for your entire basis, which is strange, since I was 100% correct with that take, while most of you idiots were in denial..

You're a very confused contrarian... I wasn't referring to Parker at all. You've got that Parker-on-the-brain obsession.

I was referring to your schtick of a slew of backhanded compliments mixed with put downs-- in this case with Aldridge, he's "fat" /his post game is "atrocious"/ he's "underwhelming" / you never liked his game/ he's apathetic, but then when anyone responds to your "Was Aldridge worth it thb" thread, you say you are 100% in favor of the signing and it's a "no-brainer." Has nothing to do with Parker at all. It's entirely about your schtick.

5th on the team in PER, 52% True Shooting, 14th on the team in BPM, poor ranking in VORP..his only decent numbers are in counting-based stats that are biased towards his style(like WS)..
