http://spurs.247sports.com/Bolt/LaMarcus-Aldridge-deletes-Twitter-account-after-loss-to-Warriors-43168419 Apparently, Aldridge's 5-PT/3-RB/3-TO game in the 30-point loss to the Warriors started a fan backlash he wasn't ready for.
Classic unappreciative Spurs fans and trash talking Warriors fans. The team hasn't lost at home all season and they can't handle one loss to a team who has only lost twice in the past 2 seasons at home. Rockets fans put up with Scarrace Jones and Jack Smith and still appreciate them never resorting to attacking them on social media.
While I agree that fans tend to be short-sighted and overly emotional, it's a little shocking that a veteran pro athlete isn't prepared to handle this sort of thing. It's made more ironic by that fact that he felt he was under-appreciated in Portland and not made a big enough deal of. It's also amusing that he didn't even go to a huge market like New York or LA...he can't even handle San Antonio backlash. He'd probably be barricaded in his apartment if he were in LA.
To all those Rockets fans that think player ridicule only happens here on Clutchfans. There you go. 2nd best team in the NBA is not immune.
Major props to Draymond Green. I have no idea what he ate this year but he has been as good defensively as Curry has been offensively. And Steph Curry man, I think his performance this season is the best individual performance in the history of the NBA, the guy is shooting 3s way out the 3 pt line. Anyway LMA struck me as extremely immature, his reason for leaving Portland (because I'm unappreciated) is really dumb considering Portland treated him as their franchise guy next to their pg (forgot his name). Having a winning fanbase doesn't make fans more tolerant, it actually makes them insufferable and arrogant, see Celtics and LA fans so its no surprise a horrible performance will have all sorts of backlash landing on him. Hopefully it destroys his psyche and makes SA implode. It's really funny Dwight gets a bad rep for being a big baby but honestly when it comes to mental toughness he beats a ton of other guys, including this dude.
Spurs fans are the worst fans I have ever seen online. Even worst than the Lakers fans who are in general arrogant and delusional. The worst by far.
he deserves all the blame he is receiving, people are not stupid, when you didn't do well in your job, you gets the blame, man up and perform next time
One week ago half the site wanted harden gone...one month ago half the site wanted dwight traded...we are probably the worst fans in the nba lol
Uh oh...I hope the Spurs don't pound the Rockets into oblivion on Wednesday. They are obviously pissed now that they got destroyed.
Hmmm... better than Wilt averaging 23.8 /24.3/8.6 or averaging 50+ points -- in both cases for a FULL season instead of HALF?
LMA was super weak last night and looked like he just wasn't up for the challenge. LMA has been known to wilt under pressure unless it's against the Rox so this isn't shocking.
