Enes Kanter's game is garbage

[kjironman1]

Who are you talking about?

Every comical post on this forum from posters that "...actually think they could coach or run a team better without even the slightest knowledge on what it actually takes or what is really happening".
You kind of have to read the post and not dissect it. One thing that helps in this case is to take the words and meaning for exactly what they say. Warning!!!! Do not add any obscure meaning or possible implication. On another note- I purposely did not add a name or call out any singular poster because there are multiple.
The beginning of the post is where i set the stage on the concept. Again it would be best to take it for what it says and not add any perceived notion or previous conversation other than the comment i was responding to. It goes like this.

This is reality! The real players, Coaches and GM's know that what gets said on here or forums like this is complete fantasyland crap most of the time.

Here is my take on it. The Blazers are entertainment. S2 is entertainment. This is not a job(unless this is indeed your job). I have had my time when i thought a bit too much about the Blazers. I spent years doing pregames and player analysis as well as coaching/GM analysis. Don't think for a second i don't understand. In the last 5-6 years i went to work for a guy who actually knows. Believe me when i tell you you don't even want to know some of the stuff he has told me. The NBA is entertainment. I am and always will be a fan of that entertainment. But i know better now than to take it for anything else. I will leave you with that. It's just the way i look at it now. I can respect the way you look at it to.

Kjironman is a fan!!!

Well I know you're not including me, so we good.

Yes we are good.

Are you on acid?

Yes we are good.

You're always good in my book.

They could give a shit about what any of of the 4 guys who LIKED your post have to say about them as players. I think it hurts fans feelings, but they just don't.

I agree that it might hurt fans feelings. They get very emotionally attached to a team and they spend hours watching and rooting for the team. Then they spend even more time doing contract and player analysis. Then they spend hard earned money to go to a game or buy their favorite jersey. Heck some fans travel to watch a game even.
To think that the player doesn't respect that or even give a shit is hard for some to take. They think "How can they not understand how much time and effort i have put forth" when they tell someone "I'm a huge fan". It happens even within this board. When you the Former HPC says things like this. The minute someone has direct dealings with reality they get confused or even defensive.

And you just called 95% of us LAWYERS! WTF?

You know what they call 100 lawyers in concrete shoes at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start.

Wheels is on here......

Evan Turner blocked me on Twitter for criticizing him. Didnt even tag him. Meyers blocks everyone. If they really didnt give a shit they wouldnt do that.

 

[THE HCP]

I believe I said the majority of players.

Back to Kanter... With the forum's affinity for no-D player names, has anyone suggested _enes the Menace as a nickname? It works on many levels.

It's already a thing.

Good find, but not nearly as cool as _enes the Menace...because of his no-D.

There's no D in either Zach or Collins, but pair him with _enes the Menace and there's plenty of D and O in the second unit's front court.

We might need the Mediocre one to weigh in on this, but I think the way it works is a good defender doesn't need a "D" in their name?

Sounds like a reasonable interpretation. I guess if you're in the NBA and you have a "D" in your name, you'd better live up to it.

Meyers Leonard sure lived up to it!

 

[e_blazer]

Meyers Leonard sure lived up to it!

You'll notice that it's the last letter in his last name. Shows its relative importance to him.

 

[Cugel]

Yeah enes the menace

 

[twobullz]

Kanter not going to Toronto for that game. Doesn't want to leave the US.

Meyers Leanar_ is now offended...


Just sayin.

Just sayin.

Offended or feeling included? Six of one, half dozen of the other...

 

[Orion Bailey]

HAHA. Oh definitely insulted that you are taking his name away. He felt special. Now he is just another nobo_y

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Kanter gets a LOT of offensive rebounds, which is obviously why the OP thinks of him as the "Garbage Man!"

 

[SlyPokerDog]

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

Blazers are +2 wins since Kanter joined the team.

+4

 

[joeBlazers]

ML gets to play ... yea !!! I missed him.

Yeah enes the menace

 

[H.C.]

This thread has aged well.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Once again we won the game, but once again our starting five had very good plus-minus numbers and the bench, like in every game since Kanter replaced Zach and Meyers and since Turner's injury, the bench players were all in minuses.
This has become a trend and for us to go as far as we can we need to fix this. Collins and Meyers earned minutes, Kanter even in his best performances I don't think once had a positive plus-minus. We can still win and the starting five is clicking but we're not as dominant as we could be

 

[BonesJones]

Sigh.

 

[BonesJones]

Hmmm, the team has won 5 straight with 4 wins on the road and 4 wins against playoff teams, what thread should I make?

Oh I know, I should make another conplaining thread that's bench-related!
