Cut Nolan now! I'd rather bring Rick Brunson out of retirement.
 
Babbitt will do great thing for the Stampede.
 
Babbitt at his best could be a very productive player, the problem is that at his worst he is horrible
 
I've always wanted to give Nolan a fair shake but it's like it's getting worse and I don't think I can take much more

I hope he's planning for the future and got the phone numbers from some of the Idaho cheerleaders...

Babbitt has an NBA skill. If we cut him, guaranteed he gets picked up by San Antonio.

Players with a 3 PT shot will always have a place in the league.

Nolan on the other hand....
 
Morrison looks a little stressed on the bench; must see the handwriting on the wall.
 
I'm glad they are taking a hard look at these scrubs and playing the preseason as an evaluation and not trying to win every game
 
Hey Jack I wouldn't be too excited that u just beat Nolan on a pre-season move.... Just sayin
 
Nolan blowing the point blank layup. Classic.
 
Will Barton sure makes a lot of athletic plays for a guy who is rated low in "athleticism".
 
Nolan Smith is crap. The Blazers better not renew him....NBA rejects like Ronnie Price and Coby Karl are so obviously better than him. We need to keep Karl so that Nolan only sees the floor in an emergency. Can't believe we drafted him over Faried.
 
The Blazers won't keep Karl over Smith because they don't want to admit they made a mistake....NBA politics. So now Karl will never see playing time so won't have a chance to further prove that he's better than Smith.

Yeah, Barton looked good, I think he's earning a spot as a backup 2. Price/Barton/Claver/Freeland/Leonard
 
When Barton missed a 20-foot 2-pointer about as badly as you can, I thought, this guy has no range.

For Coby to make the team doesn't require Nolan's departure, just Elliot's. Let him go like we did Hickson and then sign him next summer. Can we?
 
David Lee was the best Warrior last night, so I checked the boxscore to see how his counterpart Aldridge did. I noticed an amazing coincidence. For each stat, if you add Aldridge, Babbitt, and Claver, the total almost exactly equals the same stat for David Lee. The exception is +/-. Try it yourself. Start with the minutes stat.

Well, they're all a small amount different, but all close. So our 3 guys neutralized Lee. Other Warriors won the game, not him. Notice his big negative +/-.

Wouldn't be a whole lot easier to just state the obvious: their bench outscored our bench 47-29 and that was the difference in the game. Not surprising when you look at the personnel. Their Bench = Carl Landry, Brandon Rush, Jarrett Jack and Richard Jefferson. Our bench = Nolan Smith and four rookies.

The good news is, our starters are better than theirs. The bad news, they're the Warriors. The worse news, they're the Warriors minus Bogut.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say Babbitt looks like an NBA player at the 4.

Hey MM, someone has hacked into your account and is trying to publicly humiliate you by posting positive things about both Luke Babbitt and Nolan Smith.

Just thought you should know.

Except for one critical stat. 35 minutes for Lee and 27 for Aldridge. Ya think that might account for the difference?
 
Damn, here I just guzzled half of a fifth of wine and I "half" to spell out out the numbers for this half-pint CupWizier.

MIN..FGM-A..3PM-A..FTM-A..OREB..DREB..REB..AST..STL..BLK..TO..PF..+/-..PTS..NAME

27 07-11 0-0 4-4 1 1 2 1 1 2 0 1 +10 18 LaMarcus Aldridge
08 02-03 1-2 0-0 0 3 3 1 0 0 0 1 +02 05 Luke Babbitt
05 01-02 0-0 0-0 2 2 4 0 1 0 0 0 +08 02 Victor Claver
40 10-16 1-2 4-4 3 6 9 2 2 2 0 2 +20 25 Total of the 3 Blazers

35 10-17 0-1 4-4 2 6 8 4 1 0 2 4 -11 24 David Lee

05 00--01 1-1 0-0 1 0 1 -2 1 2 -2 -2 31 01 Differences

I used leading zeroes to make columns line up. That columnar alignment got messed up in the last line, which is our 3 guys minus Lee, because I included negative signs.

So, see how close they were except +/-? Our 3 neutralized him. You'd think at first glance that he was the big difference for his team's win.
