His only two solid games recently came against OKC and a kat-less MIN, which were prob easier matchups for him. If he has a matchup with a weaker front-court, which wont happen often, then he may have a good game. But seems like most nights will be a struggle 😕 His best game was against Lakers and Gasol which is shocking. Also torched the human pylon Kanter but otherwise been very ugly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it's not like gasol and kanter are that good Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like, last season?? Have you watched a Lakers game recently? I'm sure Embiid is going to destroy Gasol when they play next week. No match. Gasol is really nothing more than a large, veteran presence that will fall into a few blocks here n there. Aldridge scoring 20+ on him isnt that impressive. TBH, Aldridge and Gasol are pretty similar at this late stage of their careers: Slow. Not much post presence. Disappointing fg% and reb for big men. Couple 3s and some blocks. And solid ft%. Only real diff is Aldridge can get the occasional 20pt game. And yes, kanter is subpar defensively, but it's still not a surprise that Aldridge struggled on the boards against him. Just saying, from what I've seen this season, we really shouldn't expect much from LMA ros, unless hes playing a weaker frontcourt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SolariNatividad 231 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Does not go for those easy Defensive REBs anymore. Just lets the wings take it from the rim and run. Good for the team, Bad for us/stats. Edited January 23 by SolariNatividad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jordan62345 62 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I understand regression due to old age, but he's been a top 30 player in 9 cat for the last 10 years. I don't see him finishing that high this year, but top 75 seems likely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brown_Mamba 41 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I'm liking this Aldridge without Murray. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragonballz 108 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Im watching the game and the scoring was helped by maybe because Murray was out injured early in the 1Q, 1 less mouth to feed. He hits a couple of 3s early that got him going. Spurs doesn't go to him anymore in the block and the few times they did, he was actually able to score. In the pick and pop plays, more often than not the guards go for their shots. They don't pass to him as much. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it depends on how teams are covering it, because they've hit him on them a lot in some of the games I've watched, but judging by the box scores of other games he's not getting those looks.

Not yet, shots are still there, but the other CATs are not reliable at all. Might as well treat as a punt assist guard. Edited January 25 by SolariNatividad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
