Aldridge's shot selection is putrid.

he has a 40 point effort in game 1 last playoffs, and completely folded for the rest of the series. He look very suspect again last night

Completely untrue- Did you watch that series last year? He dominated throughout and was (Along with Lillard) the reason he and his 'inefficient' ways beat the Rockets with all their efficiency and metrics.

you are so so wrong.

He started off hot then was terrible. Like Melo, his team lives and dies with his bad shot selection.

And he has been horrible in the post season in his career.

And like Melo there is no one helping him tonight but he gets the blame for trying to put the team on his back..

Exactly because when you "put your team on your back" and take bad shot after bad shot you (and your team by extension) are taking bad/lower percentage shots. Bad/Lower percentage shots, by virtue of being lower percentage go in less often. Heaving up bad shot after bad shot isn't a great strategy. Of course when a guy is in a zone and scoring 40+ points you move out of the way but how often does that happen? Not often enough where a player should try to do it every game. Otherwise they would.

Right and his next three teammates went 13-44(29.5%)..He was 7-15 at one point before missing the next 5 shots..So u are shooting close to 50% and the rest of your team shooting 30% and down 10+, what's a fella to do, worry about taking good shots and making others better?

he sucks

I love watching players shoot free throws, it's the reason I started watching basketball.

+1,000,000 I hate it when my team has a player who is an MVP candidate that carries his otherwise lackluster team to 50 wins and according to all statistics and measures is one of the top players in the league. Man, that blows.

a) The Rockets aren't my team
b) statistical measures don't excite me

I just don't enjoy watching him play
