CELTICS @ BLAZERS GAME THREAD - 2.24.2013, Sunday 6:00 PM - KGW

Wesley doesn't make excuses about being hurt

 

[PapaG]

I have really come to appreciate wes

Me too. He's a guy who makes a difference, and the best part is he has been able to improve his game a bit each offseason. I panned his signing, but he has won me over. Same thing as Dre Miller at the end of his Blazer run. I appreciate Wes' strengths and don't dwell on his deficiencies. It makes watching the game much more fun.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

LMA: 4 of 6 FGA were fadeaways.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Avery Bradley is a maniac on defense.

Pretty much owning Lillard on defense.

...So far

 

[PapaG]

You must be a macro bot at this point.

 

[MickZagger]

You don't leave the 53rd-best 3pt shooter in NBA history that open!

You were never a fan of his signing.

 

[Darkwebs]

It's nice not having to suffer through Nolan Smith trying to play basketball

 

[Sinobas]

I like Maynor so far, it will be nice to be able to see your backup PG check in without cringing. I hope he continues to do well and we don't have to worry about backup PG next year.

Maybe they can beef up the bench with FAs like Corey Brewer, Anthony Morrow and Dalembert.

 

[Sinobas]

Why don't the set up more plays for Leonard? He can shoot and no one covers him.

 

[RoyToy]

Wesley is banged up pretty good and he's still getting it done

Kind of kills the theory of Batum playing badly because he's injured.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It's why he never took that next step beyond fringe All-Star. His FTA are abysmal. He doesn't get to the line!

 

[PapaG]

What's wrong with having an All-Star player on the team? LMA is never going to be an MVP-level player, but so what?

You don't even enjoy watching the team anymore, do you? It's weird.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Why don't the set up more plays for Leonard? He can shoot and no one covers him.

Good question.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I think he should be getting P&R's at the rim.

When he has to think of offense it usually turns into a turnover or a wild shot.

Every damn game thread its you picking on Batum and Fez on LA/Lillard it gets old. Wes and Batums injuries aren't even near the same injuries. Batums shooting wrist is injured and if you have ever had a wrist injury then you'll know they make EVERYTHING you do not just painful but annoying and almost impossible depending on how severe it is. I'd like to see you go shoot a basketball with a fucked up wrist on your shooting hand, you wouldn't be able to.
The worrisome fact is that he said the wrist isn't any better after 5 days of rest (all star break) and a laser surgery on it.

 

[Darkwebs]

Claver's D in the first half was really impressive. He does a terrific job of moving his feet for a guy 6'9"

 

[mgb]

I took it as a true compliment since it's of all time.

I'm a no excuses kind of guy

There are too many excuses made for Batum and it gets old hearing them

 

[PapaG]

Don't feed the troll. He'll go back to his Gonzaga threads soon enough. I even posted further on how my view on Wes has changed, but I don't expect it to be noticed by someone who clearly is in need of attention from multiple posters.

You're mistaking excuses for reasons.

 

[ehizzy3]

mathews another three!

 

[Darkwebs]

Wes!!!

 

[RoyToy]

Wrong

 

[Darkwebs]

Pierce is heating up. Uh oh

 

[RoyToy]

Fez is going to have an aneurysm

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

ANOTHER fadeaway.

LaMarshmallow.

 

[PapaG]

Fez is going to have an aneurysm

I don't think it will be his first.

 

[MickZagger]

Fez is going to have an aneurysm

Big word for such a little guy.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Bradley is Lillard's kryptonite.

Absolute OWNAGE in every way.

 

[MickZagger]

I knew Lillard would struggle against Bradley. Every PG does.
