Myers Leonard: Oh, the irony!

[kjironman1]

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an incredible set of callouses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail. Plus, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.

This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

There ya go trying to derail a perfectly good Meyers Leonard thread.

 

[swish3]

By all accounts and every time I have ever heard him talk about Portland since leaving he sounds like being in Portland. Totally get his affinity for Houston but he seems to almost hate Portland.

What we have heard from Clyde Drexler is disappointing, but the contrast with Dame does strongly highlight why we enthusiastically celebrate Dame, our leader of the Blazer culture!

A Sweep is as lucky as lucky can be!

There must be something that I don't understand about points/FGA, as the maximum scoring possible is 3 points per shot.

in this case what you're not understanding is the value of FT's

a player can go 3/4 on 2 pt FG's scoring 6 points; and go 10/10 on FT's. That would give him 16 points and 4 points/FGA

and it's why eFG% is a pretty meaningless stat compared to TS%. eFG doesn't account for FT's...that's kind of a ueless gauge

The post was on topic. Meyers is the literal reincarnation of Gandhi. Did you not know that?

Instead of a rim shot, this deserves a chitty-chitty-bang-bang.

Color me stupid! I had no idea?

Who said it, Meyers or Mahatma?

1. I really have to be in the gym.
2. Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Trick question. Same guy:

HC, Mike Miller scored 7 of 8 swish3s for the Heat against the Thunder in 2012 Finals Game 5, but averaged 2.09 points/FGA. My point stands that no one that I found, and especially no Blazer, has averaged 2.5 points/FGA in finals games. My challenge is unanswered.

And my statement is that Meyers may equal, or even exceed, a high of 30/12 next season, and I think his average may be 20/10 if he has enough MPG and shot opportunities. My view is that Meyers provided more than Kanter or Ed Davis or Zach this last season, and may be a favorable comparison in the coming season, but for the Heat, not the Blazers. Let's hope for consistent, energetic play and 30 PPG by Hassan in the coming season.

I wasn't trying to answer your challenge.
I was pointing out that you don't recognize other players for what they bring to the table.
Which is exactly what you point out towards other posters when they talk about Meyers Leonard.

You think Nards may exceed his 30/12 at least once with the heat.
You think Nards may average 20/10 for the season. But you hedge your bet by saying he needs plays ran for him and enough minutes.
Then you go onto say lets hope that Whiteside will average 30ppg.
Basically you just said that if Whiteside doesn't average 30ppg, you were right in Meyers Leonard being better than Whiteside. All because you think Meyers Leonard could average 20/10 with some 30+/12+ games sprinkled in.

You constantly try to point out how good Meyers Leonard is. Cool I think 90% of the posters on this board agree he's been an NBA role player for the past two years.
But you also constantly put lofty expectations on other players and when they don't meet them you go back to your statements of Meyers Leonard should play more.
Or even if they do. You say Meyers Leonard should play more.

At the end of the day I don't appreciate you trolling the forum.
Almost as bad as when @Orion Bailey made some @Jesus Christ Son of God account and trolled the forum pickup games.
(not taking a shot at you OB, just simply pointing out that @swish3 's shtick is old and he needs to move onto something new.... You know instead of creating a new thread every week because people don't want to read his trolling)

If you haven’t seen it yet, this interview with Meyers from last month, before he was traded, is worth watching for some of the behind the scenes information on the playoff run.

 

[BBert]

Surprised the thread title isn't: "Meyers Leonard: Oh The Humanity"

But that would be so last six years.

This is a nice interview that I had not seen. Thanks for posting it!

"They game plan to take away Damian Lillard" It will continue. The question now is; what is the plan to take advantage of this fact? It should be a welcomed opportunity.

The game plan is to blame everyone else except Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum and Terry Stotts.
Now that the Blazers got rid of all the losers that were causing all the double team issues, (Aminu and Harkless especially) there should never be problems for Lillard anymore.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Now he might be a solid role player in a good Eastern Conference team with Westbrook (potentially) and Butler.

Or he might be a starter in OKC after they trade away Westbrook and Adams.

ummm! Weird! I see the same plan in the future.

Make no mistake. The negative nannies will find a whipping post. At least one. Other than of course Stotts who will catch their ire after every loss. And boy oh boy they better not miss the Finals this year or the Blazers will need to rebuild for sure! Just cannot be happy with making the playoffs and only getting to the second round after making the WCF! Oh and if for some reason they don't win 50 games this year????

It's kind of funny when someone who thought the Blazers would regress last season makes a post like this.

Very possible they regress this year. I don't like putting unrealistic expectations on them. I'm going with 48 wins this year though. Figure that is about right?

Guess we could settle for that if things don't go as planned.

I'd go for 48 and then 16 after that for that matter.

Good luck ML. I hope he does not become outrageous and over tattoo himself like the Bird Anderson. South Florida populates strange characters who walk the earth/swamp.

The real irony is that we might actually sign him in the offseason.

no way. Blazer repeats are reserved for Steve Blake. I know Steve Blake; Meyers Leonard is no Steve Blake

* Steve Blake doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants

* When Steve Blake goes to donate blood, he declines the syringe, and instead requests a hand gun and a bucket

* Steve Blake can hit you so hard that he can actually alter your DNA. Decades from now your descendants will occasionally clutch their heads and yell "What The Hell was That?"

* Steve Blake has two speeds: Walk and Kill

* Steve Blake can divide by zero
