Okay Turner is awful.

[KingSpeed]

What do we do? Yes, he can make a pass here or a steal there but his shot is BROKE. I never want to see him shoot again. Could we trade him back to Boston? Who would they give us for him?

 

[jlprk]

At least he's new and learning the plays and players. What is Crabbe's excuse? 17 mil each.

 

[noknobs]

Well, we almost made it to the start of the season before this thread happened. So close.

 

[jlprk]

All we had to do to win tonight was to have McCollum, Crabbe, Turner, and Leonard have decent games, while breaking Curry's tibia. I expected at least the last one. What a letdown.

 

[julius]

and last year it was Plumlee and iirc, Aminu.

I say we trade everyone who sucks in the pre-season!

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Ive been a major complainer of the turner contract. But holy shit, it isnt even the regular season yet. Pump the fucking brakes on calling him awful for us.

 

[HailBlazers]

What do we do? Yes, he can make a pass here or a steal there but his shot is BROKE. I never want to see him shoot again.

We be patient. There's enough shooters on the team. Turner is a unique asset, wait and you'll see.

 

[Strenuus]

Oh, this'll be sweet to bump in a few months... especially after the "Turner is great!" thread from KS.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Truth is, right now, the OP is right - he sucks. It doesn't mean he'll always suck, but he clearly is having trouble adapting to his new team and/or his new contract.

What would posters be saying if Biebs or Pat C. went 0-8?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

It's gonna take till about Christmas to get everyone comfortable and a true rotation set, so just chill.

 

[Shaboid]

We have zero official wins

 

[jlprk]

Get decisive. Either win championships or else earn early first round picks. Nothing worse than being stuck in the middle forever. Why wait till everyone's trade value drops?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Turner supplied 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes in Wednesday's 88-84 preseason win over the Jazz.

So this is awful?

See guys, he's already working at Batum's pace. Inconsistently consistent through 7 meaningless games!

 

[MarAzul]

What am I waiting to see? I didn't get a clue tonight. Of course, I have only seen one game. How much is this guy getting paid?

No. But, 0 for 8 with multiple TO's begs the question.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Yes his contract is high but I like his high basketball IQ and decision making of the bench. I think he will come around and make a difference. He's never really been a flame thrower anyway.

 

[MarAzul]

He's never really been a flame thrower anyway.

That is what I thought. So WTF is up with chucking up the 3s? 0 for 3 Why?

[riverman]

I'm dubbing him Evan Turnover

 

[MarAzul]

I'm dubbing him Evan Turnover

Yeah, and every time he shoots it a Turnerover.

 

[riverman]

I don't think Turner's value could possibly drop for the money he's making

 

[PDXFonz]

Al Horford

 

[PDXFonz]

Must have been the music he listened to before the game, or the shoes...Definitely the shoes.

It's like people don't understand how big of a part the mental aspect plays. On one side you see the Warriors came out and won at home, they were in it. Ont he other end we've seen some bad play out of certain players, and some good play out of others. While I'm sure the team wanted to win tonight, ultimately they know in 3 days their record will be 0-0 and all they will have to show from the preseason is learning experience. I don't see this Blazers team as a team that is in need of a morale victory. They've been working to get ready for this season for a month longer than most teams, so if anyone in the league is ready to get Preseason out of the way and the Regular season started, it's probably these Blazers.

 

[KingSpeed]

At least he's new and learning the plays and players. What is Crabbe's excuse? 17 mil each.

Crabbe can shoot. Turner's shooting form is the worst in the league.

It's gonna take till about Christmas to get everyone comfortable and a true rotation set, so just chill.

WTF?? That's what San Diego and preseason is for.

I'm dubbing him Evan Turnover

Hahahahahaha!

Who do you think we are, Mediocre Man?

 

[Boob-No-More]

Crabbe can shoot. Turner's shooting form is the worst in the league.

Joakim Noah begs to differ.

But at least his occasionally go in.

BNM

 

[PDXFonz]

Crabbe can shoot. Turner's shooting form is the worst in the league.

At least he doesn't shoot FT's like Jermaine O'Neal

 

[Blazers Roy]

Damn guys, stop writing his name.
I told you i can't see his name without getting a bad feeling.
