    I know I'm in the minority on this, but Splitter was never as good of a defender as LMA has been this year. That scrub had to constantly get benched because he wasn't a good match with the elite teams like Miami and OKC. He let Griffin basically average a triple double on us, and he got a pass because he was "injured", bruh when is he not injured?

    The reason he's viewed at as a defensive god here on ST was because he jumped into the starting lineup at the right time. Blair and Jefferson were leaving, and Kawhi was coming in along with skinny rejuvenated Tim.

    Splitter was drafted to be a Dirk and Aldridge stopper, and we just replaced him for one of those two

    If you told me at the beginning of the season that Aldridge was gonna be this good defensively, average 18 and 9, and post a PER of 22.65 all while fully accepting being part of a great team as opposed to letting touches or spotlight interfere at all, I would have been ecstatic. He's everything we needed and much more, if only he was like 25 years old so him and Kawhi could lead us together for the next 10 years.

    Before the season, I would have never considered him the leagues best big man or even close to it. Now, with the combination of his improvement in skill/maturity and me watching every one of his games this year, I kinda think he is the best big.

    It took a while, but playing under Pop has really improved his game.

LMA and Kawhi are the perfect players to have when they go midget on us, compared to the beautiful game offense where everything is up tempo which would fall right into Golden State's lap.

    Spurs struggled early on against the elite teams when LMA was being used like a system player, and now that he's being used right and his shot attempts have gone up, he's dropping 30 nearly every game and the Spurs just handled LAC, OKC, GSW all in the same week.

    Imagine ter going up against this new and improved Raymond who never shuts the up He would've crumbled... if he wasnt already out for the season of course.
    I agree with that tbh... now I have my doubts about how this team that relies heavily on those 2 will go through the Playoffs, in that sense I also understand mid point about the need of a reliable third threat offensively whether it is the bench or Parker or a finally recovered Green or Manu. We will need someone to step up but all the options we have showed very erratic production to say the least.

    For players with no three pointers made + TS% in excess of 55% and Pts/36 of at least 20, Aldridge has MISSED the most 3 pointers of anyone at 16. Next is Bosh / Mailman / McHale / Worthy (x2) at 13.

    You'd think for someone with his shooting touch he would have gotten at least to fall.

    In fact, only five guys have missed more 3pt in a year than LMA without hitting one - one of them being Magic. Most was 22.

    He has come along pretty nicely, tbh....let's hope he keeps this progression deep into the playoffs because this, as he should find, is a different animal than his one-and-done Blazers post-seasons....

    That is a take or a comeback if you will. Apo was dead wrong about LMA. I wanted him, even if it meant giving up Splitter. LMA inside outside game is perfect in the Spurs system. Plus is defense has vastly improved over previous years. He is the main reason the Spurs are sitting at 65 wins with 5 games to go in terms of this offseason's acquisitions.

    FA wise YEP! No doubt at all. That guy in your avi and Timmay were the best thing to happen in the off season TBH but that is the draft. Lets see what they can do in the playoffs and if they have another level to push it to.
