What the are you talking about?
Maybe he's just not used to passing to a player in traffic.

Yup saw the same thing. This is why a Kawhi led team where he is the focal point on offense will struggle. Kawhi doesn't have the ability to score when a second defender is rotated to him or when he gets the ball early in offense. Parker and/or Aldridge should have the offense run through them with Kawhi picking his spots.
Kawhi just doesn't have the experience to run the offense. He'll need a couple more years to do that.
Parker really is where the offense runs through. That's a reality we have to accept.
LMA also doesn't know how to run the offense. He's got tunnel vision when the ball is in his hands.
He took some bad shots but why not let him work on some do's and dont's against a depleted Suns team? Let him work in the post and double teams? I was hoping Green would get some shooting practice in too.
I already addressed this a couple of months ago. Parker transition of becoming the PG the Spurs need at this point was mental. Against the Clips, Parker was down right atrocious. Couldn't defend, pressing his shots when it wasn't there, not passing to the open man when the lanes were available.
I think he finally was able to get over that mental hump of not having to be top scorer and go to guy every night after seeing LMA, who has those same tendencies, just as he himself admitted in his interview last night, give it up. I think that was Parker needed to see and experience. To see someone just like himself change and transition as a player mentally. That is why I believe it 100% when Parker said after the Cavs game that he doesn't care about all-stars but just wants to win championships.
I think every Spurs fan that has 2 functioning eyes knew this already...
It has to suck to be one of the people pushing Aldridge as the alpha, to hear him say something so beta tbh...soul crushing...the krew had it right once again.
It's funny. I was thinking last game about the horrible prospect of lma playing with the suns. Horrible for him. The worst of the Portland personality prospects with out any talent. They would obv be a good shot for the eighth seed, but lma would be so broken with the suns and the need to be the lead player every night.
Not self centered at all. He meant that he was a guy that was worried about his individual accomplishments, but now he is focused on being a cog in a great machine.
He's not even a Beta. More like a Gamma with an Alpha salary.
Who are you?Speaking of salty es, check this one out.
It's honestly too bad that NBA voters outside of Portland and New Orleans couldn't push momentum to put Davis and Lillard into the ASG as starters. I would gladly have given up Kawhi's nominal starting spot (he was making the game anyway) to see either of those teams get f'd over by the Rose Rule and have to pay Davis and/or Lillard 30% of the cap instead of 25%.
When did he say this?
No, it's a BS remark. He is actually saying, "I'm not the man, so I don't have to bring maximum effort every game".
"I don't care about any of that. I just want to win championships"
Here is the original article, since Apalisoc didn't post it:

Quotes from Aldridge:
He was talking – reluctantly at first -- about the brief moment in July when he envisioned himself occupying the other locker room down the hall.
“It came down to Phoenix and San Antonio,” Aldridge said of the summer’s hottest free agent bonanza. “That wasn’t overplayed. That was accurate.”“I’ve always enjoyed being the guy,” Aldridge said. “I worked hard in Portland to earn the right for it to be my team. That was hard-earned, so I take pride in that.”But, Aldridge also noted, “things change.”
“I don’t see myself being that guy here,” Aldridge said. “This is more Kawhi’s team, and we all fit in around him and try to make his life a little easier. If I was trying to be that guy still, I should have not come. I’m OK trying to help Kawhi be great every night.”
I'll be honest, I did not see this coming. I knew Kawhi had the potential to be really good, but his ascension to the elite has been unbelievably fast.
Best player on the league's best team did not seem like a realistic expectation for him, but it's really fun to watch him prove me more and more wrong every night.
fish on
My God, you nit-pick EVERYTHING about LMA don't you? Unbelievable
Davis already reached it by being an All-Star or All-NBA in two separate years, I think. Lillard for sure, though. McCollum is already as good as Dame is on regular nights, though Dame does have that extra gear.
lmaoTo be alpha..feels good tbh. I know that feeling of being Alpha, Kawhi.
Dude you are the definition of beta. You got your family monitoring your posts
You know this guy just gets mad for no ing reason.Speaking of salty es, check this one out.
