Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
Tonight vs Rockets:
14 pts, 13 rebs, 2 blks, 1 asst, 1 steal
Shot 2-2 from three point line in a continuing trend of shooting very well from downtown. He shoots 9 of 14 on the season.
That's a GREAT line coming off the BENCH.

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
It took Travis 17 games last year to find his form. He is ahead of the curve and his handle is much much improved.
I have a feeling he is going to go on a stretch where he is killing whoever guards him.

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
Good for Travis, I'm happy to see a player start to prove me wrong ... It may be a figment of my imagination, but it seems like Travis has really tried to focus on rebounding and defense, and then feeding off of that energy to get his offense going, that would be a huge change in mindset, and can do nothing but yield positive results down the stretch.

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
Travis took his usual 1-2 bad looks tonight, but man he is effective on the glass and his D was stout on Miller. He was Mr. 4th Quarter again. Those were some pressure free throws and he came up clutch.

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
I am back from the game and tried to pay close attention to Travis tonight. He did not force a thing, had the presence of mind to find an empty LaMarcus under the basket and while he was not a huge part of the offense today - when it was time to ice the game from the FT line - you just knew they were going in.
Another observation - Rudy's passes in the offense are as quick as his shot. He gets the ball and it is immediately moved to someone open. The kid certainly sees the game at a different speed than anyone else on the team - and this is not a team of slow, dumb players. He is just special.

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
Trout is a very good player, and the elevation on his shot makes him unstoppable. But Batum is going to be a fixture for this team for a long, long, long time. Some combo of Trout/Raef/Blake/Webster will land us a super SF or PG.

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
Scratch that. After working on the other thread, it now looks clear to me that even if a Gerald Wallace were available, it would not be a good deal considering we have Batum.
So Trout/Raef/Blake/Webster for a star PG?

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
^Why wouldn't we trade Sergio? He obviously isn't happy here (which is dissapointing but understandable). And honestly, he deserves better. I don't think he is as good as he thinks he is, and he obviously doesn't understand that one must earn minutes, but I think he is better than the 10mpg he is gettin', but he is on a stacked team where Bayless isn't even playing... I think at this point it can be better for both parties to part ways. If we are going to make a trade, i think Sergio would be included. I don't really think we will make a trade until the off-season though.
edit - bah, i don't want to trade Sergio though. I hope this works out somehow, i just don't see him getting minutes, and that won't make him happy. Best case scenerio he plays out his contract (so next year would be his last)...
maybe we should give Sergio a try w/ the starting unit and see how it goes? IDK though, i don't think he fits with the starters since he would be quite in-effective w/ Roy playing w/ the ball in his hands most of the time.

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
Personally I would trade Outlaw and Blake with Raef if it could get us a top third point guard. I think Webster and Batum are all we need for the small forward spot.

Would switching Martell in for Travis be a dealbreaker for the same top third PG? What about if it was Batum?

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
I would def. trade Webster and Outlaw before Batum.
But that would be an extremely hard decision if adding Batum or not is the deal breaker for a very good player. I hope it doesn't come to that, Webster/Outlaw should def. be enough for a team (i hope).

Heh. The mods may as well merge our threads, Eric.

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
I love Frye. I was defending him when people were complaining that he took long shots. I either defended him here or O-Live. Just because Frye will be the odd man out doesn't mean that I don't like him. Just because I love all 15 players doesn't mean they can all play.

So, others can feel Outlaw is the odd man out without being haters, right?

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
The stats tend to refute the overload of anti-Outlaw threads/posts here.
Unless I am missing all of the Frye-bashing threads?
Also, "others" who feel Outlaw is the odd man out keep losing on the results, so that has to be considered as well. Same with the accuracy of their opinions.

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
You can feel all you want but Outlaw is clearly a better option than Frye.
Show me all of Frye's game winning shots.

The stats also tend to refute the overload of pro-Outlaw threads/posts here. He's an average starter (in terms of production) overall, which makes the amount of pro- and anti-Outlaw sentiment perplexing.

Re: Travis Outlaw Fan Club Thread
That's why I said "in terms of production." I was speaking about the caliber of player he was, not his specific role on this team. In terms of demostrated ability, he's about an average starter level player.
Outlaw isn't a starter. A "mod" should know this.
