Who's next? Checking...Saturday night! LeBron James! No problem!

Bring him on! Go for the moral victory!

Not that it would make a difference, but I'd love to know what our defensive gameplan is when it comes to playing high screen and roll. I was critical last year that our bigs backed off all the time and gave up open 3s, but I chalked it up to playing RoLo and LA, who weren't agile from side to side. I thought getting Plumlee and Davis to go with Leonard would allow us to blitz the ballhandler more, take some of the initiative out of the offense's hands, don't let them dictate things. But we seem to get perpetually caught in no man's land now.

Stotts commented in the offseason that the defensive strategy wouldn't change in that regard despite the new personnel. I was dismayed to read that, but several people here said to not read too much into it...

Okay, I helped this thread a tad. I'm out of here. Gonna check downtown streets for action. Might see Riverman at work. The chicks are asking where I am.

Dude he was having an orgasm because the Lakers are playing the Thunder.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

A BGD burn.

HCP can't recover from that one.

Sex = fun.
Jokes = fun.
2015 Blazers = not fun.

Arbys has gift cards?

I gotta say it - Aminu is awful. I don't even know that I want him as a bench player. I was promised that his defense would be better than Nic's - it's not.
On a positive note, Vonleh's defense is better than Aminu's!

Vonleh sucks. He's probably one of the least confident players I've ever seen. No heart, no willingness to show his skills or anything.

At least spell Meyers Leonard name right. Geez.

I'm not on the Vonleh train. But last night he played much better defense than Aminu. I wanted to balance my negative post about Aminu with something positive.

Who is this and what have you done with the real Blue9?

If we're truly going to tank we should change our starting 5 to

Frazier
Pat
Montero
Cliff
Vonleh

I wonder how that lineup would do in the D league?

Then what are we waiting for?

 

[BBert]

Meyers scored 15 points on 9 shots with 5 rebounds. What's up with all the hate?

 

[BBert]

My god Frazier sucked in that game. It was like a sixth grader being owned by his older brother and his friends.

He's been really bad for a long stretch and at one pt went 1-19 shooting 3s...he wasn't rebounding or defending well...I guess that's where it came from..I think he'll work through it and I think his biggest issue was losing his alpha male starting job to Vonleh.

 

[BBert]

Harmless was also miserably bad.

I get the starters may have been burned out and couldn't hit a shot. But in scrub time the scrubs were equally scrubby.

This was a game to forget, ASAP.
