Falls out of love after only four games.

No. Serious question: were you ever "in love" with him? Seems like you've been dogging on him for a long time and now that he hasn't played to your standards you're wondering if everyone feels the same way as you. I think very few if any are giving up on him. However, there are some that weren't on his bandwagon in the first place.

Seems like there are two complaints about my complaints:
1. We haven't had him for any time at all! And now,
2. I've been dogging him for a long time.

Either I'm prescient and I was dogging him before we got him or one of these can't be true.

Nice to see that "some" are preparing the ground by saying they were "never on the bandwagon".

You've pretty much been dogging him since the beginning of summer league.

Portland is falling out of love because this is the 3rd team St. Thomas hasn't put out for.

He plays like a bull in a china shop. His college coach is enormously overrated. Good recruiter, awful coach.

Well, he did something at Kansas that Roy Williams tried over and over again only to come up short. That's win a title.

With that said, I'm not a fan of Self.
 
No. I like Thomas. And I think if you are patient with him, he will eventually pay dividends. Will he be the prolific scorer LA and Sheed were at the position? Probably not. But if we are patient with I think he will leave his own stamp and one that is worthy of where he was selected at. Even though I say be patient with Meyers. I can't say I feel the same about him.

There was a reason why 2 teams were so quick to give up on such a high draft pick and why we got him so cheap.

Yeah, I think Sam Mitchell (Or was that Smitty?) hit on it on NBATV. Both teams thought he was further along offensively than what he is. We are determining that right now. But...

He brings something to the table. Rebounding and defensively, I can see that improving. And there is always room for someone who can rebound and defend.

Well, yeah. The Kings have like 6 PFs and were the wrong team to draft him and the Rockets were more interested in having room to sign Howard than in developing a young PF. He's a project, but he's got a great NBA body and a ton of athleticism. It's going to take some time, but I think he'll be good eventually.

When you say free you mean for 3.5 million dollars free.

Like saying Golden State got Andre Iguodala for free or we got Mo Williams for free

He has a mean streak. We need that. I would love if he turned into a Charles Oakley.

A good hard hat player is usually hated by every other team's fan base. Rodman, Oakley, even Najera are those players that get under your skin.

I want t rob to be that player
 
First and foremost the Blazers need to get a decent big man coach or it's all for naught.
All of the Blazers bigs have one thing in common, and that is that they all play 'stiff'. We need an Olajuwon type coach to teach them some post moves and how to use their bodies correctly.

As for TRob, he's such a physical speciman, i'd hate to see it wasted on just rebounding. Didn't he score 17 ppg or so at Kansas?
With that right coach, perhaps, he could develop an athletic scoring/rebound type of career - maybe like a McDyess/Oakley type?

Well if LA is out a while we will be seeing more then we want to of this guy.
 
I don't wanna see either. I'd rather get a real backup PF and not a project.

I think Leonard will be out of nba like Babbitt. Once his rookie deal is up he's gone.
