Brandon Haters.........

[THE HCP]

Curious what you guys thought he will average this season since he's washed up and peaked like some of you assume. Wouldn't mind having EVERY person that has come on here cracking on him for "coasting" to give their opinion on how he will perform WHEN IT FUCKING COUNTS! It will be fun to look back on this thread in 4 weeks and see how you guys did. Have at it.

 

[DeanMoriarty]

25-5-4. He becomes more SELFISH!

 

[blazedanugz]

i think the only different is he might average a little less PPG and maybe a small spike in assists. main reason is i think LA is going to have a break out year..ive gone to two preseason games and he looks determined even in the preseason

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It's pretty obvious he's not playing hard because it's pre-season. Just going through the motions. He's looked like a homeless-man's Wesley Matthews the entire pre-season.

You guys?

Nice generality there!

 

[Nikolokolus]

24.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists

 

[alex42083]

I'll roll with 22.1 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 4.9 apg -- on par with his career averages.

this thread was aimed at the HATERS!

I think his scoring will go down because of Aldridge and Matthews, not to mention Batum and Rudy (If he stays). I just hope he can remember where his "on" switch is.

I think these are about right.

So HCP, you don't think it's reasonable for some of us to even question Brandon''s cruising? Roy is one of my favorite Blazers, but that does not mean I won't or can't question him when I see a reason to. The Blazers are a team who have not won ONE playoff series, not ONE with this group of players. Brandon is supposed to be the leader of this team, that still has many young guys, I personally don't want my team leader "cruising" (see Wes M for a non cruising attitude) when neither he or the team has ever won a playoff series. I want him showing the guys that going hard all the time and using these early games to set the tone and also gets people used to "playing hard" together is something worth doing. Maybe I am asking too much, but playoffs are about attitude and work ethic all the time IMO, especially when these guys have never won a playoff series.

I think HCP will throw up his worst season yet in the truck because he COASTED through preseason.

 

[THE HCP]

Of course I wish the team and Brandon were playing well right now, but this was aimed at a few on here who have the balls and gall to say he has peaked and his play will continue in the regular season. It's a joke! If he had been averaging 25 a game so far, people would be going nuts about him being played too much or him burning out. He will be fine, this is our 2nd team all nba all star we are talking about.

You joke, but it has been nice listening to Wheelz call the game while doing some chores around the house. Actually the other night, my son and I were out front shooting hoops listening to the game. I don't ever get the chance to sit back and enjoy the game. And if it means anything, I'm geting the kinks out during these Beaver and Duck football games!

Are you going to the game on Thursday?

ESPN baby! I'm sure I'll be having lunch with my girl Erin Andrews! I should get a shot of her in some Blazers gear huh?

This makes so much sense it hurts.

I'm concerned about Roy, but I'm not a "Roy Hater." Anybody who criticizes one of the favorite players on the team gets branded a "hater," and it's stupid. The problem is, you fall into bad habits when you don't play hard, and Roy has fallen into some very bad habits this pre-season.

When other players see the team's All-Star loafing through a game, they get the message that it's okay to turn it "on" or "off" whenever you feel like it. That's a bad message, especially for the younger players. Roy is doing this team a disservice by his lackadaisical play right now.

Doesn't she have a restraining order on you and MB for those videos you shot of her?

 

[THE HCP]

We joked that MB and I were going to make that same video of me!!!

Bad habbits that aren't there come regular season! Why can't you grasp the fact that he is good enough to coast when it doesn't count? I can't wait for the 28 or so threads your going to start after all our loses this year saying, "SEE...... if Brandon hadn't of coasted in the preseason he would have played better tonight and we would have won!!!!..... SEEEE!!!!" We'll lose our 2nd game of the season in LA and you'll go,"SEE!!!!! I TOLD YOU GUYS!!!!!!" Just relax.

 

[THE HCP]

So you're going to be in the truck at that game?

yep

 

[Mediocre Man]

No idea about the numbers, but I predict he will have a career low in shooting percentage

Interesting. Do you think he will force some bad shots?

and HCP why can't YOU grasp the fact that as a leader IMO he is NOT setting a good example at all for a lot of the young guys we have. Guys like Kobe have EARNED the right to cruise, Roy has won nothing, sorry but for me if he can't play hard for the 26 minutes he is playing then I will criticize him for that and I think it a mistake and poor leadership.

I agree showing the young guys he's coasting does not set a good example, but the young guys aren't 3rd graders! They are grown ass men trying to make the NBA. They aren't sitting around saying,"I'm taking tonight off cause Brandon is!" These aren't kids. By the way, what do YOU think Roy will average once the games count?
