Center is the key to win over Warriors

[Rastapopoulos]

Your negativism supports the Warriors and weakens the Blazers.

Actually nothing we do here has any effect on anything. That's probably worth knowing.

I can't tell if Swish3 is an "English chap" or just pretending to be. Anyway this post wasn't as funny as some of his. Most of us here have always thought Leonard must be a center on defense and your post made me think maybe he could be more of a center on offense, because sometimes he has seemed to be more comfortable on his mid-range shots than his Swish3's. Unfortunately when I looked at a shot chart for him this year it looks as if he was making less than 33% on those mid-range shots.

I doubt that what is said in this forum has any influence on what is paid to the players. What is important is player performance, which seems to be independent of salaries. IMO, focus on strategies to win games, rather than be distracted about salaries.
It is surprising that you think that I have any influence with NO.

Actually I'd have him on the floor when McGee is. Because
(a) McGee is only on the floor about 17 mpg
(b) he's killing us because he can hang around the hoop. Have Meyers pull him out on D, and just tell Meyers: DO NOT LOOK AT ANYONE ELSE - JUST PUSH HIM AWAY FROM THE HOOP

But they tried that.

What happened? Lob dunk for Mcgee.

Lob dunk for Mcgee.

Meyers was lost.

Say that to the guy who narc'd on Oden playing at the 24 Hour Fitness.

It really doesn't.

I saw one lob dunk by McGee over Meyers, but that one instance does not allow for generalizations. Let's remember Meyers defense against Cousins, Gobert, Gasol, Adams, Pachulia, and other notables and emphasize the best. There is a lot that Meyers has done which was much better than what we saw in quarters 3 and 4 of playoff game 3.

What we say on here probably does matter, at least for the mindset of the many who read and discuss RipCity2. Even if players do not read it, they may hear it. Since basketball is a game of player confidence, emphasizing positives and looking for wins can influence the players. Many have noted, and interviews show that Meyers does really care. To support the Blazers, positive comments can help and negative slashes do not help.

Let's emphasize the successes that we can orchestrate with Dame, CJ, Jusuf, Noah, Chief, Meyers, and all of the Blazers and lean towards the expectation of wins over the Warriors and winning the 2nd round. How do you know that noting the positives on this forum doesn't help until you try it?

Not really sure why they haven't done it yet?

Fuck magical thinking.

Dame was getting railed a lot of the year and he just turned in a career season.

Stop trying to make "fetch" happen.

This guy is just trolling or he is truly supporting Meyers thinking he can be useful?

When he's healthy:







But he's been playing injured for nearly 2 seasons now, garbage minutes here and there, and his amazing shooting skills suffer from all of this.

Plus, he's really a power forward being forced into the center position similar to Rasheed Wallace.

Nonsense.

Every post here has a FINANCIAL impact on Denny Crane's bottom line.

So he was healthy for only 3 games in 5 seasons. Still not worth a roster spot then. Very injury prone. In any case he needs to LEAVE.

We don't even know he's been injured this year.

Again, literally NO ONE has said anything BUT Meyers. I refuse to believe he's injured until someone seconds that motion that he's injured.

He just plain sucks this year and for most of his time here.

swish3 is a parody account right?

I get better ball movement when my shorts are open.

Gives you a chance to play with your woody

 

[stampedehero]

That means I'll have to play.

Still a better option than Meyers
