    Legend has it he's a bare knuckle boxer back in Britain. Maybe he can give Harden something to flop like fish about.

    GREAT NEWS! Even if he just bangs on Howard and Asik for 16 minutes, he's the team's other real enforcer when Lopez is off the floor.

    Great news! I thought the most interesting stat is we were 37-15 with Freeland and 13-13 without him. He holds a lead when the bench comes in defensively. This is good news going into the post season.

    Repped. I was going to search for the record with him playing. I didn't realize it was that pronounced.

    True story:

    Jud Beuchler had a higher winning % as a Bull than MJ.

    Probably because Beuchler played on three of the best teams ever, and played on another playoff team when Jordan was in baseball. Jordan joined a hapless franchise and had to carry a bad team until the late '80s. It's like saying that Rick Fox has a higher winning % on the Lakers compared to Kobe Bryant.

    After we lose to Golden State Sunday, we won't be seeing Howard these playoffs.

    Hilarious quote:

    "Nice that he was able to ease into things against Meyers Leonard before taking on the Blazers assistant coaches."

    This is huge news!

    If he can give us 6 fouls and ~10mins of solid play in the playoffs, his impact will be massive.

    Bringing some Joel back, I approve of this.

    Ok so ideas on how to use Meyers against Houston? I could see one of these being the instructions to him going in the game:
    "Listen up - You're going to go into the game for the last 5 minutes of this quarter. Every-time you catch the ball you are going to sky-jump at the rim with all intent of throwing it down. On defense, you will run with everything you got to be the first one back, and setup shop in the paint. Dont worry about 'saving' some energy you arn't going to go back in...I want SPRINTS! Your arms are to be straight up in the air at all times. its 5 minutes and you got some muscles so this shouldn't be a problem. heck, as you run up and down the court keep em up there, straight as an arrow...no i dont care how silly this will make you look. We will SHOW the ref's you are straight up at all times! If anyone comes into the rim for a shot, straight up. If Dwight comes into the rim...well you got 6 fouls and 5 minutes to use them."

    Uhmm...if Freeland is healthy and can return to playing his pre-injury minutes by the time the playoffs start, the only contribution that Meyers should be making is handing players towels as they return to the bench. Well....maybe if his legs are long enough to trip Harden as he runs by the Blazers' bench that would be okay.

    They're probably saying this to him now. No need to wait for the playoffs.

    As e_blazer said, Meyers will not play in the playoffs regardless of whether Joel plays. At least, he better not.
