    What a ing pussy. Using the "system" as a scapegoat for his ball-less performances. His whole life he's depended on contested turnaround fadeaways and suddenly he want to paint this picture that he's some dominant post player who just wasn't getting fed.

    Stopped reading after "some of it was on me for not running the floor but then again they weren't even looking for me so...". What a got.

    I think calling him a diva is a bit of a stretch.

    It's not long ago that LMA used to be an All-Star and All-NBA caliber player. The past couple seasons, he's tried to fit into the system, sacrificed touches and shots, and generally been a team player. Until this last summer, he never really complained...just did what the coaching staff wanted him to do and deferred to either Tim (when he was here) or Kawhi. He also busted his ass on defense last year.

    If he feels that the team can get more out of him, I'd rather him come out and say it rather than just sit back and assume PATFO always knows whats best. He didn't come out and demand a trade or say that he should be the undisputed leader...he just said that he feels like he is capable of doing more for the team and wants to be the compe or he think he can be.

    I think we can all agree that the version of LMA we have seen over the past two seasons is not what we thought we were getting when he signed. If this is a step towards getting us closer to that, I am all for it.
    I dont understand, he had his chances in wcf and did nothing. Just got bounced like in portland. Nba where the best players are not

    The Warriors have two players that can unfortunately; Raymond and Zaza, posting up against them is silly though scoring in P&R's and P&P's, crashing the offense glass and scoring on duck in's when he has deep position.

    Rockets Game 3, Game 6 and Warriors Game 1 version of LMA is the LMA I wanna see.
    So do the Rockets: Capela and Harden.

    All well and good. I'm sure that's gonna fix everything.


    Reporter: "Aldridge said during preseason he and you had a heart to heart conversation during the summer about his role in the system. Can you share anything about how that conversation went?"
    Pop: "That's family business. Do you have a question about the game tonight?"
    Reporter: "No, but what are your thoughts on Trump"
    Pop 45 minutes later: "...and so that's what I think of Trump"

    Don't really mind that this happened if he felt like it needed to happen for him to be happy or function better within the system. What I don't really like (without knowing all the facts) or understand is why it needed to become public. At any rate hope he has a huge year.

    The Spurs and Aldridge need to get back to whatever they were doing on the second half of Aldridge's first season here. LA was great during that time and the key was Aldridge's willingness to sprint and hustle for good and quick position down low before the defense could set up. Imaginativeless feeding the ball to him on the post isn't going to help much.

    It's damage control. Build LMA stock up to get equal trade or better before deadline. Spurs and LMA need each other. Deep inside Pops wants to dump this guy at first opportunity. But he learned from last summer nobody wants a prima dona who showed a lot of weaknesses. They have 3 months to fix to make it win/win for both camps

    reminds me of when pop and jefferson had a heart to heart. jefferson was fire from 3, then fell off a cliff.

    this will turn out better than that.

    Intetesting read. Glad to see LA initiate the meeting . Shows he cares & they got to some common ground which is a positive for the team.. I mean there are players out there as soon as they get a sniff of being traded, tune the team out & let their game go south.

    Ice i don't believe it was you for one second....in my thread.....i have some idea but cannot be sure 100%.

    Maybe i'm just a paranoid **** thats been smoking too much??......whatever....as i said in the t-shirt thread it's made me feel uneasy when i wanted to contribute something great to everybody.

    The board ing stopped for 2 days and its not like i came out after anyone or even slightly trolling.

    It's 6am - there wont be another post for a long time unless i see something that interests me.
    What do you mean by this man? I saw you mention something in the other thread, but I wasn't sure what you were talking about. I wasn't sure if I misunderstood.

    Yeah, this is actually a positive thing IMO. The fact that he initiated it is a good thing and I think it means he hasn't checked out, well, at least it makes it seem that way to me.

    If he is traded, though, I'd kind of want a big man back in return. I was willing to trade him for a small if the return was Kyrie, but that would have made the front court big man rotation very thin. lol, Gasol may have even taken advantage of that and asked for more money to return. I'd like DeMarcus Cousins, but not sure if Pop would want him even if New Orleans started the season bad and were willing to trade him for a package centered around LA.

    This is the one post i will comment on:

    i have 7pm's that i'm not even going to look at (or any other thread that i can clearly see are bait attempts)

    It's my belief i was talking to you right up until SA & then your following post in the t-shirt thread.

    After that...it was clear to me your handle was being controlled. (again i dont have 100% proof and i cant cbf showing the first pm from sa about the t-shirt post)

    i dont want any with the board....chinook made this personal by the end of it when i offered multiple escapes for him.

    So the ****....i dont care if he runs the place.... like i said ...it had me feeling paranoid and the board was frozen for a few days.

    look at all the hate in this place.

    i have been defending myself....i get ppl thought i was someone but i ing stated point blank in threads my location.


    end rant ...cbf editing it either.

    So do the Rockets: Capela and Harden.

    Aldridge did damage against Capella in Game 3 and Game 6, so I don't entirely buy that. He over thunk the whole Harden thing way too much, I doubt that happens again.

    At the very least he should know that if Harden is on him and Capella isn't then he needs to hit the offensive glass, regardless if he takes the shot or not like he did in game 5. Offensive rebounding ,when being guarded by players that are 5 inches shorter, (Harden and Green) is an great way to take advantage.

    i guess im being baited...only because we talked in the DJ thread ( i can't hel[ myself sometimes?)

    I'm not even going to try and comprehend your ing dumb as attempt at some type of cryptic message.

    whatever the that post was....it wasted 30 secs of my life

    To anyone with the balls to go on record right now with a plausible explanation in this thread to explain what the Chinook did to this board for the last few days?

    It's obviously personal with him....and when he has the control/owns of the board its not a comfortable environment

    taking control of other handles is way overboard

    - further proof...in the pre-season thread when talking to who i believed was ice at the time....i seriously did not know

    i dont care if ppl believe me

    Aldridge ate Capela alive last year. I understand that you were more going for a Harden joke than anything else, but I wonder how much about that series people actually remember. LMA actually had a strong series outside of the first game.

    My question to you.

    At what point did you take over ICE's handle and why?

    Can we just talk like adults for a moment please.

    In the T-shiirt thread i was to busy giving the doctor a serving to consider the handle was taken over. --- Thats no disrepect Doc if you actually thought i was someone else (i have considered that possibility) but you still didn't just flat out apologize. (again me not being able to control myself)....i just wanted to let it be known to any other poster to wanted to come at me with that kind of thing which is why i was so aggressive)
    check the times + the preseason thread

    -- Again --


    No intentions to be a makor player / poster here.

    All of my interests are summed up in one single thread ---that is a long term projection and what we do with Green. (or kyle if he cant shoot)
    Player development & projections on prospects are also my topics of interest & i was planning on jumping in a thread here or there and that was it.
    i wouldn't have even made that thread had i not typed everything up previously in another post that generated no interest whatsoever but that is what interests me.

    everyone saw how the DJ thread unfolded (and you just flat out dismissing me)....then you jump in Kyle's one when you see me already getting frustrated.

    That stuff is fine and happens on boards from time 2 time and is good comic relief...but the T-shirt thread ....That's where i draw the line.

    explain the reason

    Are you saying that you got PMs from me? Because if that is the case, I definitely didn't send you any. I haven't had time. I was going to send you one about TaoBao, but then you said to check Youtube for further explanations, which I will try and do at some point. I've only replied a few times (I'm guessing 4-7 times without going over my posts) in these couple of threads the past few days.

    No i had one or 2 PM's from SA asking me to keep posting (havent checked ANY pms since then-till have 7 in inbox unchecked)....Anyway i told her that this place is clearly hating (as evident in the t-shirt thread) and to show some support.

    she then makes a post...it was ok i guess but still not want i was hoping for

    its immediately followed up with some b/s from you that was not in line with previous exchanges

    - ding ding ding

    THEN...i have the time to review those posts initial posts and i am pretty certain it never was you from the beginning....i just assumed i could have counted on you.

    chinook knew that because my last post in the DJ thread mentions you specifically.

    Its starting to get silly now.....i dont know how many times i need to say that im not going to be a regular poster here or wanting to start .

    i know chinook bring allot to the table or we wouldn't have been having those debates in the first place.

    I have one serious ing issue and that is what happened with the t/shirt / changing of accounts.

    and i guess the lack of interest in my thread....but anyway.....i want things back to normal asap ok .


    i won't be around for awhile either way.
