    I think Channing Frye is the vet stretch 4 we need. Or get Anderson's eyes fixed!

    tfoh, all he has to do is back him down and dunk on him. literally should be doing that half the time, the other half just a strong post move deep inside. he should be avg like 30-35.

    green is only one of the best pf/c defenders cuz there's not many of the old school bigs to defend. most are sissy 3pt shooters or not that big. in a league full of more post up bigs, he'd still be a good defender but nothing like today. he'd have several games where he'd get eating alive

    Kinda hard to back him down when his thighs are tree stumps. Get over it bud, Draymond is a monster.

    With that being said, Lamarcus is alot better of a player than he's been showing. The Spurs wanted him to fill out and gain weight so he could play as their 5, but that clearly hasn't worked out, and his weight seems to be hindering him a bit. If you can trade for him, do it, and tell him to drop 20lbs or so, and rest up in the offseason and he'll be good to go.

    he shouldnt be finishing games, IN THE PLAYOFFS, with 18pts on 17 shots against a 6'7 small forward! no excuse at all! a prime duncna would kill this guy in the post.

    But no one has ever evaluated/thinks that LMA is better than Duncan.

    I do think LMA has underperformed this year though.

    It seems like whenever Aldridge gets the ball in the post and passes it back out to re-post, he never gets the ball again.

    It hasn't been widely reported, but I really think LAs knees are significantly messed up. His athleticism has DRASTICALLY declined.

    im not saying lma should be like duncan or beat the warrors himself. im saying he's more than capable of doing much more than he showed and he's been like this since game 3 of last years po's. did something happen betwen game 2 and 3? w/e it is they need to trade him for depth and max cp
