This is Aminu's chance to shine. Olshey wants him to become a point-forward like Batum. Stotts should redesign all the plays to encourage Farouk to dribble around looking for pass recipients.

LOL, that would be a massive tank strategy to have Chief "dribble around" - when he does that things often go south quickly! Chief needs to focus on what he can do, he just does not have the handles to try to be Batum
 
I say sit Lillard and CJ as much as possible. The team is woefully undermanned and will only get better through top draft picks. We need a top 4 draft pick and a couple of strong FA's next year. Then we will have a chance to be competitive. The team as currently constructed is a pile of garbage.

What the fuck? that's really your attitude? it isn't like you to think that. We have a very good roster top-to-bottom. Dame, CJ and Leonard are great offensive players, Plumlee is a good defender. We have above average role players at many positions. Henderson could be a starter. Frazier can play with either Dame or CJ. We're worth a playoff spot or at least a chance
 
Call me crazy, but I like Frazier. He may turn into a good player with the increased PT. He needs to be able to make the open shot more consistently but that may improve over time. I like passing ability and court sense.

I think there are a lot of good pieces.

Huh? Not like Tlong? I've seen nothing but negativity. How many two word posts "They Suck"?. Or "He sucks". Or "this team sucks" have been posted?
Just saying its VERY MUCH like him... don't be so surprised. :)

And that's really sad, because Nic doesn't have great handles. But Nic looks like Jason Williams when compared to Aminu!

YES!!! Also, don't forget the tank strategy of making Meyers Leonard hang out around the three point line. It's working so far!
 
Lillard said he is targeting Saturday's Cleveland game to return, per Casey Holdahl's tweet.

*sigh*

They do suck. I'm surprised you don't recognize this fact. I'm not a hater. I love the Blazers. I just recognize garbage when I see it.

sorry, I kind of had to. Sly was threatening to suspend me if I didn't.

But you're right, garbage is garbage, negative or not. Although I think the team has decent pieces IF they can get a potential superstar in the draft. but if this team loses it's pick to Denver, they'll be stuck in mediocrity for the foreseeable future.

Saying that doesn't change whether or not one is a fan.
 
If Damian tries to come back soon, we should go slap the whole organization. Ridiculous to test an injury like that, foot injuries have ruined player's careers. He should take at least a month off. The guy just signed a max contract, we don't need another Brandon Roy/Darius Miles/Greg Oden/Sam Bowie

And Dame needs to save that aggresiveness for the playoffs, he's too hard on his body right now for a meaningless season.

Plantar Facitis (sp?) isn't really an injury. It's more of a condition and lots of players have played with it. Sheed had it most of his career.

true but it can become chronic so taking extra care early on can make a big difference
 
Stop it. Plantar fasciitis isn't your typical foot injury. It's easily fixed and it all just comes down to pain tolerance.

Dude literally just needs to sit a week, wear a stupid sock that bends your foot a certIn way while sleeping and have a specially made orthotic in his shoes.

Stop overreacting
 
If you treat it properly, it's not that tough to get over. Most people either try to push through it or figure it'll get better with just rest, which really only delays the next onset in most cases. I assume Lillard is getting the proper treatment, given the strong reputation of the current medical staff, and that this won't be a lingering problem for him. Think of it like a bruised toe or a sprained thumb.
