Enes Kanter's game is garbage

[joeBlazers]

Kanter didn't grow up in Turkey. I believe he grew up in Switzerland. He is probably not too much of a traditionalist ... I guess.

I've been frequenting Blazer forums for going on 20 years. I've seen some really fucking stupid posts and some really fucking horrible trolls.

The original post in this thread is one of the biggest flaming pieces of shit I've ever read on the internet. Congratulations @Blazer4ever you are now unquestionably the all-time leader for worst posts. I'm guessing you have no clue how impressive of an accomplishment that is.

Once again, he has a negative plus-minus, once again our entire bench has negative plus minus.
Bench him until he learns to defend and put Meyers and Zach back in the rotation or our season is lost

This has to be some sort of weird joke. Nobody who has even the slightest eye for basketball would dare make such an ignorant statement.
I give this four Pinocchios.

 

[Lanny]

The +/- stat that is truly important...

Blazers are +2 wins since Kanter joined the team.

Those two wins were against quality teams.

He's a fan in Israel who often times can only see the box score to know what is happening during the game. I would give him a break. And like what often happens is what starts off to be a poor first post turns into an enjoyable thread for the rest of us.

See, I understand that and sometimes I think he gets flamed on pretty hard for just having an unpopular opinion. The one thing Id say is I think if he’s unable to watch games, and only reads the box score, maybe he should try to come off with a little more of hey this is what the stats look like, is that whats really happening? When you make claims like x players good, or x player sucks just from the box score and you didnt see it, it’s going to come off in a way that will provoke people a little.
I dont know if English is his first language, I tend to think its not (which is a dangerous assumption), but I think his tone may just be lost in translation if that makes sense. Anyways, I hope he keeps posting and that he’s excited for the end of the season run from the Blazers.

Without seeing a game he should reserve judgement.

Guys. Kanter probably skims this stuff and sees this thread title. Let's not make him want to leave our team.

I doubt he reads this forum, let alone skims the stuff. And really, the lack of a bird rights is what will make him want to leave the team.

Kanter is a situational big with very distinct strengths and weaknesses, which is exactly what he's proved to be.

Still not sure how much value he actually will bring aside from regular season depth. Will depend largely on who we match up with in the playoffs and when, who with and how Terry chooses to use him.

So far so good though.

Completely disagree about Kanter's value. We don't have the high end talent to match small ball lineups in the playoffs so why not go all in on being a big bruising physical team like peak Memphis?

Both Kanter and Nurk (at least this season) are not liabilities on the free throw line either so you don't have to worry about that in clutch moments. I think we should just play like we did in the 4th quarter of Game 4 against the Pelicans where we just punish teams playing through the bigs. If Nurk and Kanter keep this up then teams are going to have to either play big to match it or start sending a double team which unlocks a whole new set of possibilities.

His entire 8 year career disagrees with you.

I hope it works out like you say though.

Surely they have the internet in Israel.

 

[Blazer4ever]

I'm sorry I called him garbage, that's not a nice way to talk about someone.
When I get out of this mental institution and reunite with my lap-top I'll get to see the games and find out why he's a weak defender (right now I'm only going by what I've read from yuyuza).
But I do think that Meyers and Zach earned minutes and they deserve them

 

[SlyPokerDog]

When I get out of this mental institution

Now we know why you're a Blazer fan...

 

[joeBlazers]

If both were more consistent, we wouldn't need Enes.
Zach ... too many 1-5, 2-7 nights. LM ... had actually progressed a lot. But Enes is just very good at what he does. Couldn't pass on him.

Dude, don't let these Americans scare you off. I think I saw you in the hall today. I'm 3 doors down. That's me screaming right now.

Kanter has been dumped by 3 NBA teams, so we'll see whether he maintains his current board reputation. You may wind up saying I told you so.

Most positions on our team depend on matchups.

 

[James lamphear]

We all know he weak on defense but his offense is good enough and his rebounding is strong enough to over look it some what.

I don't understand where's the fun in being the 10th person who calls Blazer4Ever stupid or being the 15th person who shits on his posts.

Cheap likes.

You're defending guy who said we should bring back Greg Oden in 2015 and has physically threatened multiple people on this thread?

Okay, have fun.

I'm not "defending" just another poster, i'm not standing by his opinions.

It's obvious that we're dealing with something else here, i don't think you need me to spell it out for you.

Go to anothers teams forum and make a thread about how one of their players is garbage and see what reaction you get. This is civil.

 

[stampedehero]

You can't call a guy that owns the paint and plays basic good basketball "garbage". Since he arrived, we developed advantages for REBOUNDS and another for our second team scoring threat. Nurk doesn't have to worry about fouling out. It is obvious he has good chemistry with this team.

You don't have to go to another teams thread. You can do it right here. Name the player? Lillard? Yep. CJ? Yep. Nurk? Yep. Aminu? Yep. Harkless? Yep. Meyers (multiple threads)? Yep. Do we want to try Evan Turner? Sure thing. How about bench roll players? Yep all there.
How about the coach? Like 8 different threads by the same poster? Yep.
Would the GM be off limits? Like 10 threads by the same two or three posters? Yep!

You would think this team was complete "GARBAGE".

 

[TBpup]

To be fair, sadly, they have been garbage in the Playoffs when it counted recently. Wish it were n so.

Im just hoping its not so this year. Lets get those playoff wins!

 

[Orion Bailey]

I can tell you Kanter smells like rich mahogany and leather.

.......and some sort of Mediterranean spice I can't quite name.

is that served up with a slice of lamb?

The tenth person may not know yet the other nine commented.
I dont skim threads then go back and choose posts to comment on. I comment as i read, so i rarely know if someone else beat me to the punch or not.

Also. There is something to be said about taking heed to a majority of people trying to tell you something.
Not sure if you know the history with this guy, but he deserves most of the critique he gets.

Not sure if you know but this is the same guy that told this whole forum we dont know shit compared to him about basketball.

He also insists the forum is stupid because we refuse to agree with him that thomas robinson doesnt have all star capabilities.

And now here he is making yet another innaccurate flamer thread and doesnt stick around to defend or back up his statements and debate them. Ive tried.

So you can comment on the comments if you like, but they are all pretty much deserved.
