With the Spurs playing the Trail Blazers, I reached out to Dave Deckard, the managing editor of Blazer’s Edge. The conversations we have before San Antonio and Portland games are about as fun as blogging gets for me. But in the midst of the hilarity there is to be had over how poorly the Blazers have been playing recently, an issue popped up that I haven’t really been thinking about this year: whether the Spurs are getting everything they need from LaMarcus Aldridge and what Kawhi Leonard’s status as alpha dog has to do with that.
As always, we used ReplyAll to facilitate the conversation.
