Can we please (finally) give up on Webster too?

[Charcoal Filtered]

I would say yes to giving up on Webster being effective as a 3 in Nate's system as a starter, but love him coming off the bench as a 2 or 3. If someone else is coaching, I would see what Martell can do before giving up. Nate's team plays the slowest pace and does not provide alot of shots to spread around. When Martell is a 4th or 5th option, that only leaves a few shots. I would love to see him get 10 to 15 shots consistently.

Trade him to the Pacers.

Can we finally give up on Batum too? Since we're giving up on every fucking player on this goddamn team now.

Honestly....

We might as well clean house and rebuild after back to back 50 win seasons. I mean, we're on the verge of losing in the first round for the second year in a row. Why should we expect with a little bit of maturity from our stars, better health and more playoff experience that anything will change in the future?

Let's be honest. Some of the anti-Webster anger is fueled by his defenders.

"Webster is as good/better than Batum." "Webster can still become a star." " His critics are too impatient. He's only had 5 seasons."

If his defenders were more realistic, his critics wouldn't be so vehement.

regular season is irrelevant. we talkin' playoffs. I'm not saying that Webster is better than Batum. Its just right now in the playoffs, there isn't much difference in comparing them based solely on numbers. Webster, when he is in the game, seemed ok...he's shooting really atrociously but at least he's helping out on the defensive end a bit. Its a bad playoffs for the Blazers.....not a lot of bright spots.

So all that tells me is that a one armed Batum is roughly equal to a two armed Webster. I'm glad we cleared that up. But I should say I'm actually not all that disappointed in Webster's play, he's not doing much on offense, but overall I've liked his defense.

I don't get the hate for Webster. He's not pulling a "Rudy pout-job"; he is just reaching his limitations since he's simply just a role player, nothing more.

Webster has been the only player outside of Marcus Camby that has been active and aggressive the entire series on both sides of the ball.

You know I see folks make a lot of comments about how Webster always plays hard. Those are the comments I typically see about a player who isn't getting it done, but folks are looking for something positive to say. In the NBA there is getting it done and not getting it done. While I appreciate players playing hard, I also want them to play hard, in a competent fashion.
