Exactly. Fuck efficiency. Fuck the team. Fuck Lillard and Batum. The better they look the worse he'll look. He needs to freeze them out. Wait, He needs someone to pass him the ball to do that. Nevermind.
I agree. I think the team found their star, and LMA is going to be a great All-Star piece to go alongside him. Improve the bench and get a defensive center, or allow Leonard to become one, and this team is still in 4-year window to compete. Anything less than the playoffs next year, barring major injury, would be a set back, though.
That's my impression as well. The team is fine with the big 3 we have. Just have to beef up the middle and upgrade the bench. There really is a sickness on this board about bitching about any player on the team who isn't the best in the league at their position. And I'm sick of the 'batman' 'robin' analogy. It's so fucking tired.
guards/wings who can make plays off the dribble for themselves and teammates/direct the offense are Batman, while pretty much all Bigs are Robin. Tim Duncan, Karl Malone, Shaq... all Robins. STOMP
Robin wouldn't choke on a game tying shot. With that said though, clearly LMA is a star, and maybe all he needs is some mental toughening up to be a championship caliber player. I don't know if that can be learned.
Did you see the game where Aldridge hit a three then had the go ahead basket for the win against Dallas? How many batmans miss game tying shots to end the game? I can name hundreds. If we are doing the "what have you done for me lately", then Kobe is the worst batman to ever play the game. He's missed many game tying shots throughout his career. P.s. I am not saying Aldridge is batman, btw. I am just using a batman that has missed as much as the next guy.
