Anonymous Scouts Takes: PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS

[dviss1]

Okay, you de man. I was just comparing stats.

Alrighty then!! Let's do just that!! I'll compare Shabazz best year to Curry's last.

Newsflash, It's not even close:

Per game:


Per 36:


Per 100 Pos:


Advanced:

Someone disagreeing with you is not an attack.

Agreed....but tell that to the guy who had his truck set on fire for having a Trump bumper sticker. The people that disagreed with him attacked his truck with extreme prejudice.

Seems like the people actually need to be told are the ones setting the truck on fire. I'd guess the innocent vehicle owner understands perfectly well the concept of civil disagreement; it's the vandals who need the enlightenment.

That's the point I was attempting to make. Apparently, not very well.

Interesting that on ESPN they have Ed listed as 225 lbs and Zach at 235 lbs. Wasn't it you that was saying Zach would get hurt at his weight playing center?

10 pounds heavier doesn't meet the eyeball test. Collins looks more flimsy.

As I said, I did the same. (And on the same site, which I didn't say.) As you see, Curry, who started half the games all season on a bad team, was ahead on shooting 2s and 3s. Napier, confined to being assistant to 2 star guards, led in everything else (FTs, rebounds, and hustle stats).

I want to know why it is that every year the “anonymous scout” sounds like @Gronk Brady.

Seems like that's just an assumption. Maybe they set it on fire because they hate the owner personally, or maybe they wanted to light something on fire and his truck was handy. Unless they've caught the arsonist?

Or maybe this was in Detroit after they won... I don't know... something.

Was the truck's owner Trump? That would explain a lot.

What does any of that have to do with his shooting percentages?

He shot .528 from 2....

C'mon man... Just stop...

Did you miss where I said, "was ahead on shooting 2s and 3s"? You want me to lie about the other stats per 36 where Napier was ahead?

The man had a "make liberals cry again #2020" (or something like that) bumper sticker and then was dumb enough to let it sit overnight in a bar parking lot. Not the smartest move on his part.

isnt that the same kind of victim blaming that happens in other areas. I mean I get it, not popular, and tactless, but having a bumper sticker someone doesnt like shouldnt equal you deserve to have your vehicle burned. Also its encouraged to take an uber home if youve been drinking at a bar.

That's an inciteful bumper sticker. Not that he deserved it at all, but he combined being inciteful with being dumb enough to leave it at a bar.

Why yes! Yes it is.

She shouldn't have had that dress on that was that tight either...
Oh and she was drunk.

Dude shouldn't have had that bumper sticker and boy oh boy he shouldn't have gotten drunk and called a taxi. For heavens sake!

What the actual fuck is he even talking about?

I guess i'm only just beginning to figure you out.

Unfortunately I think destruction of personal property or personal injury of anyone thats thought, to be a conservative or simply non progressive, is something the anarchist consider a justifiable act and take pride in doing.
These scumbags are going to cross the line one to many times.

 

[BonesJones]

Hmmm? That's some progress to be honest.

I'll just let you go on believing that.

Go Blazers!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

OT

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

OT

You’re right my apoligies to @BonesJones and whom ever I shouldnt of got into this conversation.

 

[Phatguysrule]

That's irrelevant. Anybody who doesnt like the site of blood is going to be upset by that.

They probably shouldn't be spending too much time on the internet if they are that sensitive...

 

[Phatguysrule]

It's really not.

Mediocre and in the playoffs is better than mediocre and just missing the playoffs. Which is where we were before Olshey...

It's a step in the right direction.

 

[dviss1]

Really? You'll probably do that whilst ignoring his better PER and DRT too?

The stats say Curry is better. I couldn't care less about the extra rebound or the .4 more steals Shabazz gets. No, give.net the guy shooting 52% from 2 and 42% from 3, that can actually get by his man and finish at the rim. Something Shabazz was horrible at.

For me the eye test is enough, but when it comes to the stats that matter, Curry wins hands down.

 

[Binx]

... The clock is ticking.

The clock has been ticking since 1977.

We're still in purgatory.

We've been here since 2006.

The obvious issue here is *which* Curry we are getting. Is it the 2016 Curry who was actually good, the pre 2016 Curry who wasn't, or the 2017 who was worthless?

Davis ranked among league leaders in rebounding--per minute, per possession, and percentage. His "awful" FG% was .582. In PER and other summary stats, he was our 4th-best player. His replacement, Collins, ranked near the bottom of the team, and barely improved per minute in the season's second half.

I didn’t say his FG % was awful, nor did I even say “awful”. I’d appreciate it if you don’t attribute words to me I didn’t use and not misquote me, if you’re going to respond to me.

He is our worst offensive player, based on the fact he has no offensive skill set. Put back dunks and alley oops are the extent of his offense.

We have no clue who his replacement is. If I recall correctly, didn’t Zach play mostly with Ed Davis? Seems like that might be a tough hard to replace someone when they consistently played together.

I never said Ed Davis wasn’t a good player, either.

Seems like your post is filled with stuff that was pulled out someones ass to respond to me. This post is complete shit as it relates to what I stated, particularly given the post seemingly attributes things I never said to me and makes some very interesting logical leaps that leave a bit to be desired.

It's not so much the loss of ed, but the loss of our front court depth.

I don’t entirely disagree. My point is... I don’t think Ed Davis is a functional player in the playoffs in the modern NBA.

I can’t believe I’m about to say this but...

Simply having Meyers Leonard out there, in the playoffs, provides more for our offense than Ed Davis, particularly because you can’t realistically play Ed with Nurk.

Ed is a great rebounder, but being a complete joke on the offensive end more than negates that, in my opinion.
