I wont boo him. Im mad and annoyed at him for stringing us along more then him leaving. I wont cheer him either. Im sure my feelings will change after he plays his first game back in the RG but at the moment im trying not to care enough to do either his first game back.
You're goddamn right! http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/le...dridge-to-rip-city.287022/page-3#post-3667205
Seriously...some people plan to cheer LaSofty? WTF? Would a sane person cheer their ex wife, after she strings them along, tells them she wants to be the best wife ever, for the rest of her life, then goes out and sleeps with a dozen guys, all the while telling the husband she's just checking out her options, then on the way out the door, she burns the fucking house down? Anyone who cheers this guy when he comes "home" to visit needs a stiff smack on the back of the head.
In my dream everyone's back is turned. There is dead silence. Someone coughs. A baby fusses. A pin drops. The PA guy plays a clip of crickets. It would be glorious.
Heck, just unfurl a huge banner: ZBO WAS BETTER THAN YOU! Or: WE MISS ZACH MORE THAN YOU! Or: ROY LAUGHED AT YOU BEHIND YOUR BACK!
This article proves we have LMA right where we want him. And his future will be very similar to Tiger Woods. LMA has a burning conscience, just like Tiger Woods does. LMA’s career is going to crash and burn the same way Tiger Woods career is now doing. LMA and Woods have a lot in common. Both were at the top of their game when they betrayed people that trusted them. Both have quirky personalities with big egos. Both are more sensitive than average. Both lead quit private lives away from the game. Both can not handle the negative press their poor judgment has brought on them. Karma will catch up with both of them. Both careers will self destruct as punishment for their betrayals. LMA’s betrayal was wrong, and he knows it, and his future game will show it, just like Tiger's game is now doing. LMA will never win another game in Portland.
LA is going to pay a lot of Blazer fan tax for a long time. Personally I'd cheer for Wes, Blake, Rolo, Batum and LA when they return the first time. I loved that roster and they all entertained me for a lot of games. After that...fuck em
Exactly this... It wasn't the same situation that Howard had in Orlando, bloated contracts with players that could never get past the first round. Aldridge left a playoff team that had a lot of room to grow and chase a title. This wasn't about him wanting to go home because he still lives in L.A. He didn't give a shit about the fans that fought to the death to back him up. Because of that, the fans feel betrayed. And honestly, I hope nothing for the worst. I hope he's battling the torment of being the bullseye for the failures of a mediocre Spurs team until the day he retires.
The dude is 30 years old, you think he wanted to wait for players to grow to chase a title? No he wanted the best shot possible to win now, and that's in SA with the best coach in the league. Don't know how you can argue that.
I don't think anyone here wants to argue the reasons. its the way he went about it in his last year or two with us. that's the part that's bull shit and reason as to why people are allowed to be pissed.
I mostly agree sellout. But at the same time, shit happens and things change. Once Matthews went down the team Aldridge wanted to return to at one point was history.
I don't think it would have gone the way it did if Aldridge just committed to our program. We would have brought in more experienced players.
They're the same kind of bandwagon feel goody Seahawk fan "12s". Basically they're really not invested in the team, more of a "wake me up when they are in the playoffs" kind of fan.
