You wouldn't know it the way people bitch about LaMarcus around here. We're spoiled. And how cool is it that Lillard is 9th? All Star?
points per game isn't everything if you need a ton of shots to get them and don't get to the FT line that much. LMA's scoring efficiency (reflected in TS%, ORtg etc.) is at a *career* low so far this year. people have every right to bitch.
Lebron, Carmelo, Kobe the only players in the league that are taking more shots per game than LMA this year
pretty crazy that lillard is still that high in ppg. i'm expecting it to drop a few points at least, but I hope it doesn't.
Between 3 feet from the hoop and the 3-point line, Aldridge takes more FGA this season than all other Blazers combined.
lma is 4th in attempts per game, and 5th in makes, seems pretty good to me, does he need to be first or something? oh no, lma isnt lebron, trade him!
If his overshooting gave us an elite win record, there would be nothing wrong with the strategy. But it gives us a bad win record.
Why is this such a hard concept for people to understand? We are not built to win this year, we are built to be exciting, get a ROY, hopefully put one guy in the all star game, and get a good draft pick. We could easily improve our bench right now and compete for the 8th playoff spot but whats the point?
No http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2013_leaders.html Aldridge is 7th. Lillard dropped to 11th last night
Yeah right. You made about 8 posts in the game thread bitterly hating on the player. People wrote that you must be drunk. Why do you hate the Blazers? Next time you may wake up pregnant, and the joking excuse won't save you from 12 years of PTA meetings.
