ha, you expect a response.

It's fun to sometimes Mutombo a troll's bait that they toss out there.

 

[BBert]

Claver has great bball IQ/instincts

I didn't expect anything, but Claver has really grown on me. Once he starts making shots he's going to be a decent player.

yep, solid and gaining some confidence which I think for him is huge

IMO he is way better than rabbit

We have a few nice prospects, and they're coming along nicely, unfortunately the time table got moved up. If the team had been as bad as many of us originally figured, it wouldn't matter that Claver, Barton, and Leonard aren't ready yet. But Lillard and Batum turned out to be better than advertised, so this team needs some dependable bench players. I think eventually Claver and Barton will end up being nice bench guys, but Olshey will need some vets this summer to help the team out.

 

[Carlito]

Nice prospects? Aldrich killed Myers. Smith is terrible. Barton is out of control.

Claver is only guy I'd keep and that's questionable

 

[Mediocre Man]

Claver has been solid at everything but shooting

Confidence all he needs

Hard not to envy houston

However even though I thought Lin outplayed lillard tonight I still think Lin blows.

Did you just say earlier that Lin outplayed Dame? Please break that one down for me.

Other then 2nd qtr... Dame did nothing. Lin was active whole game and his team crushed us.

Would I want Lin over lillard? Def not but yesterday Lin was better.

 

[Carlito]

And I said earlier... previously I wanted our roster over Houston's. not anymore.

Lillard > Lin by a lot

Batum and Parsons wash

Harden x 50 over anyone we have

LA > Asik but not by that much since Patterson is a good defender and shoots well.

 

[Carlito]

The blazers need to have Wes and Hickson off bench. Plan should be upgrade center and SG and resign Hickson.

Wes has lost a step on defense. Maybe he's hurt. Also way too streaky for a future playoff team.

 

[Blazer4ever]

The blazers need to have Wes and Hickson off bench. Plan should be upgrade center and SG and resign Hickson.

I agree with this.

 

[BBert]

That's so simple yet brilliant. Someone should suggest this to the Blazers. I don't know why they haven't done it already.

because Paul Allen is incompetent, Olshey is a bum, in KPEE we trust, and other mixumism..er..I mean

 

[HailBlazers]

Utah and Rockets are making playoffs. Blazers and Lakers will fight for 9th.

Fire up the tank Johnny

Sit Batum for Claver and Start Leonard

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Team D needs to be really good against someone like Harden, or Harding, as Rice calls him.
Bigs need to step up quicker and rotations have to be more energetic. Hickson and Aldridge need to learn how to help out. They're are just not good at it.

Another good game for Lillard. (Rice: Lilliard)

Claver is really starting to look good, the dude knows how to play help D, makes good decisions and has great handles. He might really turn into something.

Rubio is garbage.

 

[HailBlazers]

and we need a center

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

And a backup point guard. I keep thinking how nice it would be to have Andre Miller behind Lillard.

 

[Carlito]

The mods here clearly need new material

It's also nice to see how most of the mods set a nice example for other posters. #clowns

 

[drexlersdad]

 

[Carlito]

So u disagree with us needing to upgrade SG and center?

U don't think harden was best player on floor last night?

If that's between trolling and stupid I guess it's easy to figure which one u are.
