Luke Freakin Babbitt could not play in the WNBA!!!!! (1 Viewer)

[jlprk]

Besides, he has that annoying hair and he's just one of those guys that's irritating to watch. He reminds me of Dan Dickau or Luke Jackson. Two other scrubs that were supposed to be able to shoot.

lol, i was going to say something about his hair. I think its the reason why he cant hit the rim on a good majority of his shots...

You ugly short-haired mutts have always been jealous of us beautiful long-hairs. Babbitt is needed in practice because we lack forwards. The guy to go would be Armon, who is such a poor PG decision-maker that Nate has declared him a SG.

And hating him because of his hair style is rational????

Seriously, look at the title of this thread and some of the posts. What the fuck is everyone getting so upset about after one preseason game. Big deal, our 13th man sucks. Let it go and move on.

I don't know if it hatred as much as being disappointed with the Blazers top draft pick two years ago.

Any top 20 first round draft pick is going to to get analyzed on this board for at least a couple of years. I think that is fair. It's not like Babbit signed for the league minimum or was called up from D-league. Blazer management went out of their way to pick Babbit as hope for a player who will add to the organization. There are more expectations from a situation like that than say the 2nd round picks of Pendy, Daunte, Johnson and others.

It's all relative. Look how many threads on Oden as the #1 pick. Babbit being the 16th pick (?). . . it's actually kind of sad how little discussion there is of him. The day the board stops discussing him must mean it is over for Babbit and it becomes official that Babbit was a bad draft pick . . . or is that already official?

You've never hated a player because they just annoyed you? Steve Nash is another guy that just annoys me because of how he looks.

Irrational hatred? This is the first real glimpse we've seen of the guy. I think people are just voicing their opinions on how bad he truly is. I guess people had hopes that he would be better after some of the good praise he received last year from practice, but the guy just really isn't very good. He was drafted because he was supposed to be a shooter, but he can't hit the broad side of a barn.

Last night was the "first real glimpse"? 26 minutes of a preseason game? Really?

He played 33 minutes in a game last year (in a REAL game) against the Warriors... he also had a double double in that game (although took a lot of shots to get there).

Did you not see that game last year? I'm confused as to why last night would be the first real glimpse... and why 26 minutes would define who a player is and what he will ever be.

I agree that it makes sense to talk about--and even criticize--first rounders, including Babbitt.

But does reasonable "analysis" including supporting cutting a first round before he starts his second year? I don't think so.

I think he actually looked pretty good. Maybe my expectations are just much lower now.

If he had hit a couple of wide-open shots that he had, it would have been a good game for him. If he cannot hit those shots in the long run, he's not going to last in the league. If he can, then he'll be at least a rotation player.

Ed O.

Strange. I hardly agree with you. But, it seems like we were watching the same Babbitt last night. He looked good to me. He was active. Made some contested shots. Played decent enough D. He makes those open 3's and he would be the 2nd coming around this place.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

he looked decent bringing the ball up point forward style

 

[SantaDora]

He looked OK to me. I wonder if he can still be OK when he is not playing against the mirror (Utah's Luke Babbit).

 

[ILOVEODEN]

if you don't like a blazer player or have a negative opinion in this forum, you are mixum.

what are some of you ten years old?

Wow a person with a brain. Awesome

No. If you act like a child you are mixum.

Yeah saying that Luke has no business in a NBA uniform is acting like a child! No mr. poistive. Acting like a child would be to ignore it cause its NOT POSITIVE but it's the dam TRUTH!

I think he is referring to the banter after the original post.

No. Acting like a child would be blasting Blazer fans on this forum for liking Babbitt, even though no one on here thinks he's going to be great.

Quit acting like your enlightening us, or something. We all know that Babbitt sucks.

I never understand just how these threads and comments make people feel better about their own inadequacies and pathetic lives....Obviously he can play basketball, and people with more knowledge have seen enough to keep him around.

Let's pick the 15th player on the team and attack! Fucking sad.

I think we already saw the genetic test take place on the court. Did you see anything "Bird" like out there tonight?

I didn't even see anything Sue BIRD like. No.

He's just one final Pritch Slap on the way out the door. Stupid 50/40/90 pick.

The best part of this whole thread? ILOVEODEN got BANNED over Luke Freakin Babbitt. That alone is sure to make Babbitt a new fan favorite.

Help me out here--yes he was irritating, but what did he post that was ban-worthy?

IMO:

Fishing for people to attack him (Obvious trolling).

Creating inflaming threads on topics that are already being discussed elsewhere.

Not capable of carrying on an actual discussion without attacking others.

Pretty much if you can't act like a grown man your doing a disservice to the board.

No. If you act like a child you are mixum.

 

[Blaze01]

I thought Babbitt looked ok last night....I agree he is going to need to be able to hit the outside shot consistently if he plans on sticking in the NBA as part of a rotation, but he did some good things out there last night....

Some of what Hail just said but also there were multiple person attacks and insults that have been deleted.

And more importantly if you've been banned before under a different moniker you're on a shorter leash next time around.

Did you e-mail Brock to let him know that?

Get over yourself. I'm just having fun. You think I really care about the 12th or 13th guy on the roster? He'll be playing in the NBDL within a month or two. Anybody who really thinks the fans are up in arms over Luke Babbitt needs to pull their head our of their ass and relax. Yes, he sucks, but do you think people will continue to talk about him after the preseason is over? I highly doubt it. He's an afterthought.

Seriously, for a 13th man, he didn't look all that bad. So our 13th man didn't look like an all-star in our 20 point win. Big deal. Some people just like to bitch.
