[CBS Sports] "Blazers take the 3 out of their D"

[BonesJones]

Yeah we will miss the guy who was unplayable against Denver and Golden State.

The same people who are complaining about how bad he was weren't saying how good he was in the playoffs the year before.

 

[BonesJones]

Average doesn't mean bad, just not great. He's fine on defense. Nothing amazing.

I don't see why anyone would say he's not above-average at least.

 

[beast blazer]

Dumb.

You mean the years we were swept?

 

[Labinot41]

Hey @bones isn't that you? Haha

Still think Bazemore should start. Decent wing defender with a 7' wing span.
He also scored over 30 twice last season.

I say bring Hood in off the bench for CJ at SG, and Mario off the bench for Bazemore.

I'm so glad Harkless and Aminu are off this roster. I can't even express how much i hated watching the Aminu "Trainwreck" every time he decided he was gonna "Be Like Mike". I will also be very happy to see any other player that actually gives a decent effort for more than one game out of three. So very tired of "Which Mo is gonna show" nights.

One of the reasons ET Mo and Chief seemed to have energy on defense is that they didn't have to work on offense at all. They really played on one side of the ball...ET distributed more and was more of a two way guy so in his case less but Mo and Chief were a defensive unit and a good one

Mo and Chief played well on defense against smaller quicker players. Neither could play well against Milsap and there are others that abused them. . Neither could guard Lebron even for stretches though very few can. I will say Aminu always played hard every game. You cannot question that Chief is gonna give you his all. But he just could not produce on the offensive end. I'm happy to be rid of that problem. We might not have a better answer yet? But they will at least be looking for something and will not be stuck for another season with two players they know will not take them any further.

 

[Lanny]

Yeah, but they're missing the fact that NOBODY guarded, Harkless, Aminu, et, the guys they lost may have been better defenders, but the guys they brought in will help the offense a lot. It makes guys like Lebron, Kawhi and PG13 have to play every play on defense so they don't get torched too.

And Whiteside can rebound like a mother fucker.

I'm happy to be rid of Harkless and less happy to be rid of Aminu.
I'm very happy to get Whiteside and Gasol.
