You're a good poster. Stick around.
Thanks. It's tough to find anyone in Buffalo willing to talk NBA basketball, let alone Blazers.

Or, maybe she feels it's stupid to argue about LMA's value to the team, when everyone except a few well-known LMA haters, and a Bulls fan, seems to appreciate that value?
Odd, both CarBroXum and ILO/OIG are from Buffalo. It may be the most well-represented city in this forum outside of Portland.
Why does it have to be so black and white?
Why can't someone see a flaw that can be discussed? You guys are so hilarious with your "hater" references. You don't get to define who is and who is not a fan or a hater. Get off your high horse. Some of us like to discuss basketball beyond, "OMGERD 30-9!!!!!!!"
Hater is such an overused term. Oh well.
Actually Mixum is from Connecticut.
Why are you hating on the word hater? You're just a hater of people who use the term hater.

It's not just this thread that paints my view of blue9 and BrianfromWA as LMA detractors. It's a long-term pattern, verified and validated with each passing year. Sorry if that offends you, but we hear the same complaints over and over again from those two. Jump shots, poor rebounding, and "soft." It's as tiresome as Mediocore Man's "Assclown" or "Leonar_" stuff, but to his credit, MM doesn't spend an hour cherry-picking stats together that support a flimsy position. Of all times to be critical of LMA, this is the absolute worst, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wouldn't mind a break from the negativity.
I think he's playing amazing basketball right now. I'm glad we have him, but I also don't see any harm in discussing the one part of his game that drives me nuts. Those long jumpers can be maddening at times.

Ehh. I just like talking basketball.
If someone needs a break then they should take a break. If we don't like something we don't have to read it.

Yet, some have to respond as if it's slowly poisoning their soul. I know. That's dramatic!
Or, if we don't like something, we can point it out in the thread. This was supposed to be a thread praising LMA, which seems fairly reasonable for a Blazer board, until two of the bigger know anti-LMA posters hi-jacked it to start criticizing LMA.
One of them made an absolute fool out of himself this summer with his non-stop LMA bashing, and he still carries it over to this season. Yes, I am sick of it. How about a Sticky thread so blue9 and BrianfromWA can find various ways to post "jump shooter" and "poor rebounder" over and over and over and over again?
I'm sorry that the (statistically verifiable) truth doesn't fit your narrative (again, just like this summer). You're welcome to go somewhere that doesn't make you sick. My intention is to inform, not injure.Or, if we don't like something, we can point it out in the thread.

I haven't seen you post a thing about LMA in this thread. Huh wut?
Do you have a favorite player, current and past?

Then he would be asking an impertinent question.To boil down Brian's argument, which actually is really a simple one...
Which would you rather have:
.476 shooter taking the hardest 2pt shots in the game
or
.333 3pt shooter taking all 3pt shots
It wasn't media reports. It was from LMA saying it. I'll leave it there.Proof from this summer? You mean when you were reacting based on a few media reports, and basically insulted any poster who disagreed with your "Shit My Pants" strategy of a LMA firewalls?
So why isn't Damian, or Lopez, or Wes, or Nic...all of whose games have improved and improved the offense. LMA has done nothing on that front but take more shots. He is the same player (with 3 more attempts per game) on the offensive end as he was in 2012-13, when we were 33-49. How come he "isn't what his record (was)"?I keep hearing about stats, yet when somebody posts 30-9, they are mocked. As the saying goes, you are what your record is, and LMA is deservedly getting praise.
They're not supposed. And what you think of how I should spend my time or how I get off is kind of irrelevant to me. You've shown multiple times (especially re: Outlaw and Miller) that you're not interested in what others have to say, so you're welcome to ignore my predictability and not waste your time.If picking on a few supposed weaknesses gets you off, so be it. I think it's a waste if time, and knowing your bias re: LMA, rather boring and predictable.

Or it's Saturday afternoon and she's too busy being a mom to bicker with us.![]()

And you're the only one insulting folks. BlazerBoy and Draco and others said to get cap space when he left instead of trading, which (again) is a fine counterargument. I'll discuss that all day long with folks.
