Yes, Wright is shooting a good % overall, he just seems to do it in streaks. He was hot to start the season, but has cooled off. So what I was saying was, over the last month, he's only provided "good shooting" in 6 games. Shooting is not a weakness of his, it's the rebounding, the defense, the his offense is really limited to shooting. Claver would be no better on offense, but I think he'd be a big upgrade on the defensive end. So if Wright isn't carrying much of the scoring load, why not get a guy that will give you more on the defensive end.

Look I understand your concern, but it seems wright is working with this chemistry experiment well. I would hate to change things up while we are winning.

Yes I know our bench is lame offensively, but we are winning. We are the best team in the NBA now. Why change anything?

I wasn't even that annoyed with his shooting.... dude needs to box out.
 
Damian Lillard is Brandon's knees reborn *tear*. I knew karma would come back to us one day.
 
Dwight Jaynes "All you can say if you are a Blazer fan is "I love this team"." Uhm, I can also say, "Jaynes is a big dumb animal." :)
 
Dame-It!!!! I just love it. C-web and Anthony said "why didn't you fans pick this game?!" When going through the recap

That's why he's a bench player. Very few players who play 14 minutes a game are consistent, and as you said, most have holes in their game that keep them on the bency. If they were consistent and more complete, they'd be starting and playing more minutes. Jamal Crawford is mostly terrible, IMO, but he has a hot game once in a while and suddenly gets votes for 6th man of the year. It's not like the days when Kevin McHale was winning that award.

Well, it's going to be pretty hard not to give Portland 2 all-stars if they are still leading the conference (and possible league) by that time.

Kobe is hogging a spot on that team when he doesn't deserve it.
 
Apparently this has been hurting for weeks.

It's nothing too concerning when you consider his monster stats on this banged up hand.

He's done it before though, hasn't he?

Honestly, I'm not that worried about it. He'll make the team eventually, if not this year. If we have the best record by the All-Star break, I couldn't care less about All-Star nods. I want our guys rested and healthy.

I'm just trying to figure out who should be on the team this year.

Paul/Kobe/KD/Blake/D12 are making it for sure.

2 guards and three forwards for the backup spots

Curry/Westbrook/Dirk/Love/Duncan?

Curry and Love will be locks, I'm fairly sure of it.

2 wildcards

Harden/Lillard/Parker <---2 of the three.

I'm having trouble putting either Parker or Duncan on the team because they aren't putting up great stats, but I can't not give San Antonio an all-star because their team is too good.

So I see it one of two ways for Lillard to get on the team:

1. Duncan gets the nod and Lillard goes over Parker because we have a better record.

2. Kobe can't play and a spot opens up.

Plus there is the outside chance someone like Lawson, Bledsoe or Cousins makes it.

Fucking Kobe, it's seriously all his fault.

I can't believe I spaced out on LMA :lol:

Well shit, that's even less of a chance for Lillard. There's always next year. I would love if they slighted Russell Westbrook to get Damian into the game, but I doubt that happening.
 
WOW! What a game! About to read this thread........

By the way, we are 35K feet above Michigan somewhere and this team is so hot right now, we had to roll the windows down on the plane! #ripcity
