So how many more games do we give Turner until he's officially the forum whipping boy?

About 15

What to do about Evan Turner? Honestly Henderson was a better defender and shooter. Turner may be a better ball handler but it's not paying dividends so far.

Turner looks like he doesn't know what he's doing. He's forcing everything he does right now. Henderson just played his game. I knew I was going to miss his high flying dunks and his veteran leadership, but I didn't think I'd miss it this much.

 

[B-Roy]

Henderson is not a better defender lol come on.

Turner will be fine once Stotts stops trying to force him into being something he's not.

I thought overall Henderson was our best perimeter defender last season. Turner has just been average.

Henderson is shooting 40% from 3 and 52% from 2 this year, he's a lot better for a 1/3rd of the price

Ok so why no Vonleh?

 

[KingSpeed]

But who was auditioning for SacTown?

Crabbe?

Back to Turner and Layman. They have both had the exact same amount of time with the team. They have both had the exact same amount of time to "learn the system." And Layman looks WAY better than Turner. Layman is so comfortable on the court. Turner seems to be searching for ways to hurt the team. It's not just turnovers or missed shots, but he makes some bad decisions that don't show up in the box score. Obviously, he was a good fit in Boston so let's send him back there. He's not going to work here.

Man, we are working way too hard to win these games. Need ET and Ed to do something. Anything.

Nice to see AC and Meyers show up

Rose- Colored Logic: Winning close, pressure filled games early will pay dividends later on in the season when we are making our playoff push.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ok so why no Vonleh?

I think it's because Leonard looked good against Cousins last year so Stotts wanted to go back to that. Plus, Vonleh hasn't been playing very well and Layman has earned real minutes.

He's not already?

Isn't he already?

 

[Pinwheel1]

anybody still want to trade for mcLemore? Ha before last season a few wanted to trade CJ for him. I kid you not

 

[Sinobas]

Evan Turner has a TO% of fucking 23.5

To put that into some perspective, Ray Felton's lone year here, where he was horrible with turnovers, his % was 19.5

 

[KingSpeed]

Isn't he already?

Have you changed your tune on him yet? He's leading the league in worst +/-. He was a team worst -6 tonight. And Layman, who has been with the team just as long as Turner, already looks more comfortable on the court. Turner is a bad fit. Period.

 

[julius]

For some people it was 1 game.

 

[Tunchi]

6-4 is a damn good record. Anyone notice that Turner is being phased out?

I guess

 

[Cippy91]

I gave up on Turner. If Cj can make the turn he did in 8 games, why can't turner in 10? if he ends up being great then dope but I don't see it with this team

 

[Darkwebs]

In the post-game interview, Cousins was seen wearing a baseball cap with a rose on it.

Cousins trade to the Rose City: imminent!

 

[Five Second Violation]

So how many more games do we give Turner until he's officially the forum whipping boy?

Isn't he kinda there now?

EDIT: Damn, little late on that remark I guess.

 

[BBert]

let's burn down the Memorial Coliseum!

Long overdue

Damn we really fucked up

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Lillard's stat line is ridiculous.

Keeping him healthy for the Cousins trade

1 rebound
0 steals/blocks
5 turnovers
-1 for the game


CJ's is better IMO

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Agreed.... I feel more comftorable with CJ taking the ball and Evan off the ball...

Turner is terrible on catch and shoot; that's a problem.

 

[dviss1]

CJ has been in this system for 3 years. Apples/Oranges

 

[riverman]

1 rebound
0 steals/blocks

CJ's is better IMO

CJ had 4 steals 5 dimes and 31 pts in less time than Dame tonight...3 minutes less...still an amazing combo to compare...I didn't realize Mason had 7 assists tonight

 

[THE HCP]

Excited about the game tonight. Gonna be going with @Orion Bailey. Go Blazers!

My two favorite rookies hanging out together, how cute.

He missed two free throws.

Trade him.
