LaMarcus Aldridge is done

**KRIT** · 05-01-17, 09:34 PM

He can't even post up the softy Ryan Anderson

**krk1030** · 05-01-17, 09:36 PM

Hes not old at all.

i think its just a bad fit and has killed his confidence.

**KRIT** · 05-01-17, 09:39 PM

It's not really a bad fit. He was the understudy to Duncan. He is just playing bad. Think it's more of a confidence thing than an actual decline, either way he needs to play better.

**t-wizzle** · 05-01-17, 09:43 PM

He's been in the league for 11 years now and has taken a pounding. Even though his game has always been more about shooting jumpers, he always has looked to draw contact. There are other reasons the Spurs are down by 30 (you can't start David Lee in a series like this) but Aldridge is cooked.

Don't be fooled. The Spurs don't even look to go to Aldridge anymore for offense. It's all on Kawhi.

Yes, when he was 26-29 years old. He's nearly 32 now. He had a nice career. He's basically 2014 David West now.

I think you're right. He will be better than this next year, but his days of being an all-star are over. West is a good comparison. Spurs are going to be in trouble until they add some youth.

I agree. VS memphis he couldnt hit easy layups..continuing tonight

**lakerboy** · 05-01-17, 10:14 PM

I said this the other day

He can't get off the floor.

**stackz125** · 05-01-17, 10:56 PM

He was better, much better when he was in Portland
Spurs washed him up

**jjgold** · 05-01-17, 10:58 PM

He looks terrible

**DOM-Ganador** · 05-02-17, 07:22 AM

Unless he has an undisclosed injury, his problem is attitude and effort.
He has the talent.

Playoffs LeMarcus......fuggin` playoffs. Saw this crap a couple times in regular season.

I believe he is the key to a Spurs advancement.

**lakerboy** · 05-02-17, 07:46 AM

Of course it was a garbage signing. No one will say anything though cause it's the Spurs.

What talent? He's never been a freak athletically. Never been a 12-14 rebounds per game guy. Just always had a silky smooth jumpshot and routinely scored 20-25 ppg. He has always taken a lot of tough fadeaways.

**OmahaOmaha** · 05-02-17, 08:52 AM

watch him go off for 40 pts in game two

He might have a very good game but over the long haul, he can't give the Spurs what they need.

he has a heart condition, most likely plays some role in this

**jjgold** · 05-02-17, 02:15 PM

so many washed up bums making big money in sports

Baseball full of them

**bryant81** · 05-02-17, 05:28 PM

Part of the problem is that he's very reliant on jumpers and for some reason it seems like they have gone away from LMA mid range jumpers compared to previous years. I saw him pass up an open mid range shot that he has hit with consistency for several years and was shocked.

To me, it's more a confidence thing than a decline. He's not THAT old.

**IBetYou** · 05-02-17, 07:36 PM

The decline of Parker is a contributing factor since he's the one that would be setting him up for those pocket shots. Leonard can do that but he tends to look for the midrange pull-up more (he's good at it). Obviously 7 shot attempts isn't going to do it.

**KRIT** · 05-14-17, 03:48 PM

Not so fast.

**lakerboy** · 05-14-17, 03:49 PM

These guys read the forum.

**ManOfValue** · 05-14-17, 03:52 PM

Its amazing how vets kick it in gear when they smell the finish line. Would like to see L.A. get his.

**KRIT** · 05-14-17, 04:15 PM

I think it was all confidence with him. Lost his confidence, and found it against Houston in that final game.

Sure seems like that

**jjgold** · 05-14-17, 04:56 PM

Embarrassment

How do these guys make so much money?

He could not start for any top 10 college team

**gauchojake** · 05-14-17, 04:58 PM

Now it's gone again. Dribble off foot, lose ball, air ball, brick, brick, brick, brick

**tony_come** · 05-14-17, 05:03 PM

He heard sbr talking shit

**t-wizzle** · 05-14-17, 07:48 PM

Doubt he will be much of a factor the rest of this series.

**The Kraken** · 05-14-17, 08:17 PM

Trade rumors are that Pops might trade him tonight

Disagree. Warriors are trying to Keep him far out. He is a matchup issue for them.

It depends who is guarding him.

If it's Durant, Aldridge can back him down. If it's Green, he'll have a much harder time. Aldridge doesn't do well against physical defenders.

**MaddyMax** · 05-14-17, 09:29 PM

he has looked somewhat unfit this year.
