Exclusive Looks like Biggie is the starter now

[Shaboid]

Yes, I think you're wrong about that. You take a few people who behave in a certain way and extrapolate it across the majority. It's a lazy opinion, but I'm used to it at this point.

You're going to need to define extrapolate for him...

Biggie Biggie Biggie, can't you start...

You're going to win all the fans' hearts...

ME? When do you see me ever blast this team or get all worked up either good or bad on here? I was commenting on this place. We lose and peeps want people fired and traded, we win they are on their way to the HOF.
Please find a post of mine in the last 7/8 years where I got worked up or “lived on the extremes” about my Blazers.

To be fair, when you say things like that, that is extreme. So, in this case he's not wrong. lol.

Precisely. I was referring to his meta-posting.

I liked the ferocity of Davis and Biggie together, but they were getting in each other's way. They both kind of do the same thing aside from the random Biggie jump shot. It makes sense to have only one of those guys in at a time. They are both going to get a ton of offensive rebounds and you might as well spread that out throughout the game by having one of those junk yard types in at a time. That is going to wear a lot of teams out and frustrate a lot of coaches.

It’s been ONE game. 40 minutes of quality basketball from this team and all is forgiven and right in the world?

It's only a game away......

 

[BigGameDamian]

I just see you blasting other people

Winning cures all!

Can't help but wonder if maybe they are showcasing him.

For.... what?

 

[Pinwheel1]

For.... what?

I don't know....but I would include Caleb in a Leonard deal for the right piece. Then keep Noah Davis, and Collins moving forward. Teams are going to want a young piece in order to give value back.

But.... if we showcase him and he's good.... why are we giving him away with someone who hasn't proven anything?

I think most thought 23 wins was pretty extreme.
Just sayin.

Welp, that didn't last long! I really like how Tater is patient with his young players, and shows confidence in them rather than yanking them around like a knob.

I don't think Swanigan has much upside. I see him as like a 3rd string level talent. He's slow, and doesn't have the height/length to make up for it. Look at what he does when he gets the ball under the hoop, he sits there and pump fakes like a 6 foot guard. I don't understand why we took him with so many other forwards, including Collins.

His game reminds me of The Rhino, Craig Smith.

I kept quiet when Biggie was put into the starting 5 because my gut told me Vonleh is is still the right move. I wanted to be wrong.

I wasn’t.

For now.

Put Vonleh back in.

 

[KingSpeed]

That was one game.

Edit: And it was a game where we were SMASHING them. So. IMO it's an anomaly.

No it was early in the game. Instead of pulling CJ at the 5 minute mark of the first quarter, he left CJ in to continue playing with Dame. Then he took both out and put in Napier/Pat. And he did it again tonight. A few games back, in postgame, Stotts said he likes Napier and wished he could play more. Well, Napier had only 2 turnovers all season so he let Napier run the second unit and it worked. Put him in with a 2 point lead (not smashing) and the lead grew to 12.

Vonleh is playing better off bench.

 

[BBert]

I like Vonleh. It hurt me to see him aiming his outside shots tonight instead of shooting them like he did the previous game. Looked like he lacked confidence in his shot.
