Golden State Warriors 113-92 San Antonio Spurs: 5 Talking Points

Enter captio
The Warriors won Game 1 against the Spurs

#4 LaMarcus Aldridge disappoints yet again

San Antonio Spurs v Golden State Warriors - Game One
#12 LaMarcus Aldridge was terrible on both ends of the floor.

LaMarcus Aldridge after enduring two rough seasons with the Spurs, came on his own this season scoring 23.1 points, 8.5 boards and 2.0 dimes per game while shooting 51.0 percent from the field. A lot depended upon the 6-time NBA All-Star for the success of the Spurs and they were hoping for a big performance from him which he is quite capable of.

Aldridge looked to be aggressive at the early stages of the game as he made his first two attempts at the basket but as the Warriors increased the intensity of their defense, including their decision to start JaVale McGee ahead of Zaza Pachulia, he just couldn't find any way to score the basketball.

Aldridge picked up 3 fouls early in the second quarter and ended up scoring just 8 points in the first half and finally ended the game with just 14 points and 2 rebounds. The Spurs are going to need a much better performance from him if they want to make this series competitive, let alone winning even one game.
