    I get everyone's kinda bitter about lma leaving and im not going to miss 5 18f jumpshots a game nor the fadeawy from 10f but this thread has turned into a circle jerk about how bad LMA is. The guy is a legit top 5 pf in the league and a really good player overall, there is a reason he was the biggest FA on the market and tons of teams tried to get him.
    LMA is going to be one hell of a spur.

    Kind of hoping this goes like when Karl Malone and Gary Payton went to the Lakers, or Love to the Cavaliers. Of course, both of those teams went to the Finals while my Blazers were hapless losers. So the upside is that they *only* do better than my team has in over 20 years.

    Shit. This season is going to suck.

    Everywhere I look there's nothing positive to cheer for. If the Aldridge/Spurs falter, that means James Harden has beaten them. Or an LA team. Or Kevin Durant (who will always be Two Honks to me). This might be the most grim season of all time. Best case scenario is LeBron spanks them in the Finals (unlikely).

    Maybe when I'm not watching Blazers games this year I'll just watch the Pelicans. Davis is a hoot.

    Yep. Hating the Clippers, Spurs, Thunder, Rockets; hope they all lose early and lose lots. OK with the Pelicans, Grizz, Warriors, Mavs, and even the Jazz.

    You know, that's a damned good point. I overlooked them all last year, and even after a championship I'm still doing it. They really are a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for picking me up.

    Enjoy it, because after we beat them in a hard-fought (and dirty on their side) 7-game WCF, they'll be our new bitter rivals.

    Based on his beaming smile I'm guessing that they're down by 12-18 points and he's heading to the bench. I recall seeing that smile FAR too often when we were getting handled by the opposition.

    If I was good at Photoshop I would have put LMA's face on Stay Puft ages ago.

    According to boxscore, Aldridge started at center tonight, haha. He had 9 points (4/10 shooting) and 6 rebounds in 28 minutes. I'll take Leonard and Vonleh over that garbage. Sucks to be a Spurs fan.

    And he did it in front of his home crowd.

    ...according to Michael C. Wright (ESPN Staff Writer) he was doing it in front of no crowd after the game as well, "It's 10:38 pm local time and just about everyone has left the AT&T Center as the game has been over for almost an hour. LaMarcus Aldridge is putting in extra work after going 4-for-10 tonight. Not a bad night, but he hasn't shot particularly well this preseason."

    Aldridge has legit played like shit in every single preseason game so far. It's going to be interested to see how he is greeted back in town & how he plays due to it. IE: If he gets boo'd is he going to go 1-30?

    Dude is not a leader, never should have acted like one, and is smart for going to a team where he doesn't have to be one.
