Poor Meyers. I'm not a fan of his game, but it's not his fault he's not very good and overpaid -- probably a mix of bad wiring and bad coaching at various stops along the way.

You know who I'm unhappy with? Olshey. Bidding against himself and wish-casting on a guy who's rarely shown any hint that he can be a reliable "workhorse."

Exactly, Olshey had such a crappy offseason! What was he thinking?

Then he sat all season. Then he came out like mental jelly in his first Summer League game, joshing around, smiling, and swinging his arms for fun like it was an elementary school playground. Then after our criticism here, he got some minimum ambition, but no skill, the rest of SL. A year earlier, he had tried much harder in the SL before his rookie year, when he was out of shape and red-faced from being winded. He looked the same all of his rookie year.

What sucks about Meyers is you really want to root for him.
  • Dad died.
  • Grew up DIRT poor.
  • Mom was sick and in pain all the time.
  • Brother is a VET. That tearful reunion made me tear up.
  • All the physical attributes and athleticism anyone could dream of.
JUST. A. GOOD. KID.

Too bad he sucks....

Barton was the one who grew up dirt poor, with the teenagers sharing a bed. I assume the Leonard mother and 2 sons were on welfare, but not itinerant. With no Obamacare yet, she couldn't afford a back operation. I read that they lived in a house across the street from a car dealership. I can't find a source describing just how poor they were, so I assume they were regular poor in a subsidized house with utilities paid, not dirt (e.g. Appalachian) poor.

Well it's all relative. They were poor. Not middle class. They were American poor.
 
I was counting on Meyers to really break-out this year. He played some great basketball before the injury.
I still think he's one of the keys for our season. If he plays like he did before the injury and keeps working on his defense I still have hope for him

Well, at least he's not dirt poor anymore.

Why didn't Neil Olshey give him 20 million..."because we're out of cap space anyway"

I think anyone criticising Leonard for anything right now; has overly high expectations for someone coming off a major shoulder injury, and almost a whole season away from the game.

What if we've been doing it for his entire career?

People make more excuses for this guy than Jake Blues had for Carrie Fisher in The Blues Brothers.

There's always going to be someone who has it worse than the last person.
 
Hands down the most frustrating player I've watched in a blazer uniform. When he's good (like last night) he makes our offense borderline unstoppable. Defensively he makes even less sense because he plays his best against all stars and looks like a high schooler against everyone else.

Also, he said he's cutting his hair today.

Wookee and others just changed their minds about him. I have long hair, but I have to admit...Meyers, next time you grow it, don't look like a cleaning woman. Keep the front view, but change the side view.

Anyway, as a lifelong Meyers Leonard critic, I have noticed this season that he plays with much more intensity and energy. After 4 years of being a goof, he has arrived. He is an average NBA substitute now (especially when he makes shots). I'm so used to waiting, that it will take me all this season to stop putting him down. But I hereby change my tune: He's not a bad player anymore.
 
Meyers is my third favorite player in the NBA right now and probably top 20 of All Time so I'm very happy when he plays well.
 
well, that's better, but isn't it gonna come undone once he starts playing? What will he use this time to hold it all together?

Didn't he say he wasn't going to cut it all season?
 
What's so great about hairball anyway? It's not a sport that long hair helps you play from what I've seen...

Why, nothing left? You always wear a cap.
