Knox overreaction thread inc later -- Knox might be serviceable as a 11 or 12th man but the few seasons he has been in the NBA do not lie stop making him out to be something he is not just stop this is the problem with Blazer fans pumping up scrubs into something when they are not.

Saying Knox should concentrate on rebounding, defense and picking his spots on offense?
That’s what role players should be doing.
The possibility that Knox could do that is an over-reaction?

So in other words, since he has not found a home yet, he must not be very good.
 
I’ll say it now, if Shae scores 10 points this half, it’ll be much more impressive than his first 21.
 
This team could definitely beat the Warriors at home tomorrow. Gotta keep the eyes on the prize.
 
I know he's a rookie but Shae gets a lot of contact under the basket and never gets a call. That better change the first game of next season.
 
I can see reading is optional on this site since I clearly said -- he might be a 11th / 12th man type -- all i was doing was trying to bring the fans who think Knox is more then that down to earth but i will concede I might have been too hard on him with my wording too but the point is Knox is average at best and a 11th / 12th man NOT some great project that might be paying off.
 
These guys don't run plays. they just constantly improvise, and they are good at it.
 
the officials have definitely got the memo the Clips need to win

Blazers have three guys with 20 points or more
 
time to sit Shaedon, Knox and Watford. For the end of the season

Totally disagree. For years, spots 10 through 17 have been filled with silly puddy guys. Knox, Mays, & Harrison have a chance to be actual contributors. In past years, these guys (Blazers end of benchers)gave nobody a game. This unit is competitive against playoff teams. Has nothing to do with any colored glasses.

We ran Butler at the point in order to finish last game with a loss. I think there is almost no chance that we fuck either of these games up with a W.
 
This is why I don’t put any stock into a tank game. As soon as the other team needs to play they absolutely shut them down.
Sharpe has improved this season no question but he has 2 points this quarter and the Clippers are putting this game away.

Yeah, he's 19 and the focus of a really good defense.

You’re no fun. No fun at all.

Exactly my point.

Fair enough. I think that if he is playing with Dame, Jerami and at least one other guy who defenses have to pay attention to before him... he's going to be a very good fourth option to start next season and will have worked his way up past Jerami and who knows how high in the pecking order by the end of next season.

Maybe he might be a serviceable 11th or 12th man. But he’s young enough that, if you like what you’ve seen of him you can bring him back for two cheap years and he develops to be a really good 7th man?

Finding talent for your team is hard to do as a small market team.

4th option? Okay. Probably right.
