It's enough to keep us afloat for now. If our shooters are hitting their 3s it obviously opens up things so much and gives us other options. But at this point it is what it is
I love the effort he's putting up out there, and I love even more the nifty high-low game he has developed with Gasol, but posting up 30/40 times a game isn't the recipe for winning anymore. Specially not when your postup player loves to takes fadeaway jumpers most of the time and is bad at passing off double teams.
And I'm saying it now that he's playing well. I don't even want to imagine how it will be if he goes back to sucking.

Like it or not this is the best option available at the moment.
I most certainly wouldn't want to see an increased amount of Murray 12ft floaters, Green drives, Fathead whatever he does, or Gasol postups.
This is a lottery team without his 23 a night.
Our best player right now, but pretty obvious that we’re not winning anything with him as our #1 option (goes without saying). Just need a healthy Kawhi back.
Also, it wouldn’t be as noticeable if certain guys (danny, Patty, etc) we’re hitting more of their open looks.
Did we win or lose?
OP wants Bertans to start btw iirc tbh
Not in favour of Aldridge, tbh.
Tonight we won and with a great performance from the guy, that's one of the main reasons why I decided to make the thread tonight: to don't get called an opportunistic cliff jumper making a rage thread.
Tonight we won, but we won't win when it matters feeding him the ball 40 times a game.
youre going to be real sad watching our playoff games.
I would say more angry than sad, but yeah.
All I care about is the W.
Well you can rage bump next time he plays badly.
Third in the west es!
I agree with OP. I don't like 7-footers relying heavily on turnaround fadeaways. I especially don't think having an offense that is built around two isolation players is a winner. That said, LMA hustled hard tonight. I did like the effort - especially on the boards and in transition. He ran the floor. He also made one of the better passes (to Manu) that I ever saw him make. But I'd like to see the Spurs move him in the offseason if they can get good value.
64% win rate isn't winning ball? Okay.
Come back in the playoffs. 23 shots to get 30 points while attempting 2 fts will bite you in the ass.
jeb's bush slave boy
I'm talking about championship level winning basketball. The kind of winning basketball we Spurs fans are accostumed to.
So the Spurs aren't as good without Leonard as they are with him.
Hot take.
Thread has nothing to do with Leonard, tbh. It's just a comment about Aldridge's game and how it fits in today's NBA.
