wow..wow..wow..
Come on man. You admitted you were 100% wrong and then bump this 2 days ago. LMA and Green showed up this series.
wow..wow..wow..
Is his twitter reactivated yet? I haven't checked today
I agree. Both played very well. Green played exceptional on defense, Durant made some incredible shots. LMA was taking on the best big man rotation in the league on his own and was still sprinting down the court in the 4th. If pop brought in Boban earlier, we might have spared lma some life. That guy battled this series though. Him and Kawhi played great, and green wasn't too far behind. The rest of the team needs to be reevaluated.
Well at least the Krew has something to be happy about.
I hope we can get some more parts around Aldridge and Kawhi. Those two alone aren't gonna cut it.
Product of no mother tbh. Obvious .
He was absolutely worth it.
This has been rooting against us all year just to prove a point. Get the out you bas .
When Aldridge scored 42 and the Spurs couldn't get the win, the series was basically over
We would still be playing if the other guys nutted up in Game 2. LMA was the best player on the floor that game. The rest of the Spurs were not engaged enough. That was the beginning of the end.
LMA was absolutely worth it. The Spurs have two of the top 25 players in the NBA going into next year and they are both in or entering their prime. The "other guys" have to be upgraded.
Yes, but Duncan crowded his space all season.
Kawhi is the type of guy you feature in a laissez-faire offense not a guy you give the rock to & ask him to carry you like Harden. The perfect team for Kawhi is the mid 2000s Pistons, replace Prince w/ Kawhi & they would have been a dynasty. Otherwise, he has to play the Pippen role in a 90s type isolation heavy offense but LMA ain't no Jordan or even Dirk for that matter.
That is partly true but had Marc Gasol signed the offense would still be free flowing to an extent & the defense would be much better:I agree the offense shouldn't be centered around LMA, but you neglected to mention that the offense was forced to go that route because all the role players seemed to massively decline right at the same time, so we became top heavy by necessity.
Would like to see Aldridge come in much better shape next season though. I thought he was fine this season. Would be nice to get a big man, that can rebound well next to him if Duncan doesn't come back (Pau?) I really think Aldridge, and Kawhi will continue living up to that one two punch next season with another season in the system and no offseason contract issues for him.
He was worth it. If the bench played a little better or a few calls go SA's way or a few starters hit some shots, SA is in the WCF even with TP not great, Tim declining further and Manu declining as well.
It seems a little more clear that it's going to have to be Kawhi's team because he's bankable on both ends more often than not, but they can be a nice 1a/1b combo for 3-4 years it looks like with a good supporting cast.
Dwight Howard is so perfect for this spurs team. He's so old and fraudulent, and he's been living in Texas.
, anyone but Pau.
The offense would need to be more uptempo & that should be possible if the PG/C positions are upgraded. Even if Pau signs, Softridge has to bulk up & be ready to play center against small-ball teams since Pau/LMA is unplayable against the "Death lineup".
Bosh only became a center after the Heatles lost to the Mavs in the 2011 Finals where they had trouble scoring b/c they were playing isolation halfcourt sets every time down the floor. They were able to generate a lot of turnovers which fueled their transition game but don't expect that from Softridge playing the center spot b/c he isn't as mobile as Bosh. Their similarity starts & ends w/ their ability to stretch the floor but so can Pau.
They would have been smoked in the WCF b/c the bench was proven to be trash so I'm glad they got upset in the 2nd rd since this will put the spotlight on the FO to make moves instead of sticking w/ the old guard for one more season.
L. Take it.OMG who is this poster?

For what he's making, he has to be a building block and he would be on any team. I don't get why you continue to act like they could have done better, when in reality, they were lucky to do as well as him.
They had to deviate from what made them successful, because it was over for that team as a contender unfortunately.
Check your PM's.
Spurs would have been somewhere between 5-8th place in the west if they didn't sign him along with being eliminated in the first round.
Lame is a player like Elton Brand or Baron Davis. He might be a name on the marquee, and if it's your marquee... you're screwed. The spurs would have been better off with some young guy who's restricted offer wouldn't be matched. But the spurs hate youth. The spurs are the team that renounced "Josephs."
Unimaginative, unhopeful, wrong.
Pretty much the truth. The effects of Duncan's rapid decline were hidden all year due to Aldridge. I can't imagine the Spurs winning many games if they had Duncan this year and some random fill in which would have been the case had they not acquired Aldridge.
