Aldridge and Pop had a heart-to-heart this summer

Sounds to me like the Spurs really had chemistry issues and that Lamarcus was indeed not being open and forthcoming about what was going on. His effort was inconsistent... something we have discussed here. Chinook specially mentioning how timing on plays was off, etc.

1-Sorry. But I can't stand a player that makes a little effort just because he doesn't get the ball often.

2-I've said many times here the Spurs had chemistry issues esp with Kawhi and LMA on court. I blamed Pop for the lack of plays involving both players...After 2016 I expected more P&Rs between KL and LMA but we didn't see these plays last season.

3-After tonight game, LMA said "I feel really comfortable right now and I think Pop has made some tweaks to help me feel more comfortable.."
Obviously LMA is "happy" now because he's Spurs #1 and Pop is calling many good plays for him in this preseason.

It seems like to keep LMA "happy" this season until deadline or offseason, they need to make him the focus of the offense.

But I wonder if this team will win 57 or 61 with LMA as its primary go-to guy like they did with Kawhi being extremely aggressive on offense and the clear #1 option in the last two seasons.
