This plus your <) Westbrook thread are looking good, homie. Educate these boys
Last year, it was seeing Parker's decline in November, while 90% of the forum wanted APO and I banned for speaking the truth..it took them until the playoffs to realize they were wrong..
This year, we have one of the longest threads in the history of this forum, full of homers that had the audacity to continuously bump this thread because this showed up for a bunch of regular season teams and 2 home playoff games
He's Lamarcus Loser, Carmelo Aldridge..a mid range chucker that shrivels up at the first sign of pressure..the Spurs committed their future to this ing pussy
But just two weeks ago you admitted to this pile of steaming .
Way to equivocate.
Yeah, we should have kept Splitter.
The bench is the real problem with this team. Krew favorites Manure, Fat Ass, and Patty House have been absolutely non-existent. How do you ing score only 11 points on 18 shots?
Man, this Harlem.man..The only difference between this year's Spurs team and last year's is Aldridge, unless you think Splitter and Joseph are the reason Green went from a 40%+ 3 shooter to a player that can't make anything anymore..
The current Spurs team is clearly fool's gold..easy schedule + other expected contenders starting slow + they have been carried by Kawhi playing like the 2nd best player in the NBA, and Parker playing at the same level he did last November, which isn't going to last, clearly..
Green being unable to make 3s makes him unplayable, he becomes Andre Roberson, which is useless in today's NBA..that leaves Mills as the only shooter on the roster, and it forces the Spurs to over-use Manu, along with expecting inexperienced players like Anderson and Simmons to give playoff minutes(which doesn't work in the NBA, they'll both foul out in 5 minutes with the way refs treat unknown guys)..
They essentially killed their style of play/rotation to become a mid-range 2 shooting team that no longer has any depth on the perimeter, and is relying heavily on 2 ancient players to dominate(Parker/Ginobili)..
I literally never said the Spurs should keep Splitter
Spurs should have never committed a long term deal to big man Carmelo..
At the very least, Green still looks solid.
I ing told you idiots
Didn't you predict Spurs in five? Didn't you say 1-2 days ago that Aldridge was a "great player, top 10-15"?
Shtick/trolling or not, you're one of the most knowledgeable posters on the site, but you're too prisoner of the moment.
Half the idiots on this forum(many of them in this thread) want to trade a proven winner like Danny Green or bench him for some named Simmons, while they are ing making threads apologizing to a proven loser like Aldridge for joining the Spurs
But the starters beat OKC's by 5 points, and LMA more or less equalized Durant in points and efficiency for this game.
I don't see how it's "LMA's fault" when that in' ty, putrid, garbage ass bench outscores Dion Waiters by 2 points on 13 more shots.
The bench totally disappearing over the past 3 months has nothing to do with LMA. Mills, Fat Ass, and West are mental midgets, and Manu is obviously primed for the retirement home.
Yes, I picked the Spurs, they were heavy favs for a reason..this Thunder team isn't very good, it speaks more on Aldridge and the Spurs that they can't beat a team that doesn't play defense and has 5 NBA-caliber players..
So the bench gets a pass?
I get it, though. They're composed of Crew favorites Boris, "MVPatty," and Manu.
I just don't see how blaming LMA holds water here when the bench can barely outscore Dion in' Waiters on 13 more shots. Does LMA deserve blame for 6-21. Sure. But there's much bigger problems with this team that are worth mentioning.
Also, your whole premise for this thread was concern over how LMA is affecting Green. Green has looked like the Green of old in the playoffs thus far, so he was obviously "worth it" in that respect.
It's the bench. Has been for the past 3 months.
They shouldn't have been. They should have been slight favorites and only because of home court. They were an overrated team, that's been trending down since late March. Even before then, you could see the bottom falling out on the veterans and a devolution into a top heavy team, without a transcendent player.
This has little to do with Aldridge, who's performance is mostly attributable to law of averages.
He hasn't been the same since the injury. And the bench let us down again.
However, if you're a champion, you make those shots he missed in the 4th.
Horry would have hit that , FOR SURE.

They gutted the team and changed the system to build it around Aldridge..he's playing against a below average defensive team, and he was mediocre in games 3 and 4, and was horrendous in the biggest game of his career..more importantly , he missed 2 wide open jump shots in clutch time that could have changed the game
When you're losing these games by a few possessions and one of the star players struggles, he deserves the blame..unfortunately, Aldridge routinely doesn't show up in the biggest games..he's Carmelo Anthony , he will give you a few hot games of shooting, but don't expect him to show up in the big ones..
My fears realized... softridge
At least Tim gave us 5 rings, tbh...
Aldridge got an 80 million dollar contract from the Spurs. He the bed tonight like Kawhi in Game 2 (no one defended Kawhi that game). Aldridge deservedly gets part of the blame. The bench are bench players for a reason.
The alternative was Splitter, who would be in a suit right now. If we didn't have Aldridge, who would be the starting PF rn? West, probably.
We'll see on Thursday.
Again, no one is saying they want Splitter instead. But funny how LMA dodges criticism (even Kawhi gets on here more), and I'm just laughing at all the premature bumps on this thread when Aldridge was feasting on teams like Brooklyn and the 76ers
Most of it was out of spite to Harlem
He deserves blame for tonight though, I agree.
