The Blazers will be improved at the guard spots this season

[santeesioux]

Even though we FINALLY got the Blazer channel at the very end of last season down here, i really hope they don't re-up with Comcast when the deal is done, and maybe go back to what is now Root. Fuck Comcast.

So is it ok to agree with him because its positive?

WTF??? Did you even read the replies? Multiple posters have disagreed with him and said Mo's scoring off the bench will be missed more than Jaynes thinks.

You're like a broken record and painfully predictable. It's like you just cut and paste the same whiny shit over and over without even reading the thread.

Nope. Because if you agree with him, that means you read what he wrote, and that automatically negates any credibility generated by him accidentally being right.

Overall, the Trail Blazers are going to be a better team -- not just in the backcourt. But the common reason, for sure, is going to have to be improvement from within.

i have to assume this is why Neil elected to not do anything this year (Don't know If I completely buy into it. Only time will tell). I don't agree with Jaynes, they might be a lil wiser in the back court but i don't think they are any better with Blake over Williams.

Of course. I agreed with him. But then again, I'm not a Dwight Jaynes basher. I don't pay enough attention to him for him to get under my skin, I guess. I reserve the right to disagree at a future time, though.

Tell the Editor that I never click on his site except for links here. Also, tell him if he wants traffic, he should run articles about how pissed off Blazer fans are at Comcast for its failed effort at overcharging local carriers. And mention that you have to pass messages from me because I dumped Comcast years ago because the bill kept inching up $10 every 2 months. Crooks.

Tell him to go eat an unpeeled radish.

repped!

Earl Watson and Mo are gone. Steve Blake and Chris Kaman took their roster spots. What's not to like? Mo had skills, Earl was a teacher but Blake is a better distributor, 3pt shooter and defender than Mo was and Kaman is going to give you more than Earl as well as teach Meyers, Joel and TRob how to play in the post. The question is not whether we upgraded talent but what Stotts can do with this roster. Stotts more than anyone will need to adjust and get more out of his bench.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I agree with the way you posted the link to the article. Comcast gets the traffic since the entire article is not quoted.

However, asking for the commentary too is B.S. I have zero desire to talk about this subject on their board. We have built this board to our liking and it is silly to have to build one for every media source that generates Blazer articles.

If Comcast does not want the traffic then lets not give it to them.

I think what we lose in Mo, we gain with flow!

Did you? The first few posts agreed with him. Seems like you attacked the poster and not the post since my post asked a valid question. Maybe try happiness?

 

[jlprk]

Too much criticism on this board of Dwight Jaynes and Mediocre Man. Not enough of Canzano.

 

[blue9]

So the editor of CSNNW doesn't want me to click on their link, go to their site, and read their articles?

What a dipshit.

And that's being kind.

BTW: Fuck Comacast

This. All of this. Fuck Comcast. Fuck the guy who works for Comcast. Fuck the Blazers for being in bed with Comcast.

 

[BBert]

And defense. The guy couldn't guard you.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Did you?

Yeah, I did - and I actually comprehended what I read.

The first few posts agreed with him.

No, they didn't - which is why I asked if you'd even read the responses. Two of the first three people who actually commented on the content of the article disagreed with Jaynes:

I agree with everything he said about Blake and CJ. Our guard rotation will be better this season.

Good grief - I wasn't a big fan of Mo's game, but even I admit the team will miss him.

Yes, I think Mo has been underrated. Posters act as if Blake is light years better.

Doesn't sound to me like everyone agreeing with Jaynes' positive opinion.

Seems like you attacked the poster and not the post since my post asked a valid question. Maybe try happiness?

Gee, the victim card. Surprise, surprise. I didn't attack you, I attacked your behavior and your smug attitude that everyone else in this group are a bunch of sheep who blindly agree with every positive article and automatically discount any negative article about our team. The facts just don't support your position (see above quotes). Yet, that doesn't stop you from throwing it out in EVERY thread that links to any article that says anything positive about the team.

I think CJ may have given MIN every dollar he could from his own paycheck to let them go over the BAE to sign Mo. I had a running total of the times Mo froze out CJ after looking straight at the dude and stopped at 50.

 

[MARIS61]

Starters will both have improved, and maybe CJ will be a little better, but Blake has been in decline for years and has completely lost his shot.

A wash at best, and no dependable backup point.

I completely disagree with this. Blake had a good season with the Lakers before he was traded to GS where he didn't see the court. He's a smart point guard and in my view, much better now than his last stint here

You seem to have some sort of weird fascination with me. some people agreed and some didn't. Why is my statement not valid? Attacking my "behavior" of asking a question that was legitimate is as odd argument.

People bash Jaynes almost every time he writes something because it's negative. i simply find it musing some people forget all about that when he posts something positive.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Dwight is trying to go against the grain by saying we won't miss Mo - most commentators and fans ignore any sort of advanced stats.

 

[kjironman1]

It's not just the guard position but the combination of the center and guard. This will have a positive effect not only in spacing but Blake will not have to go on runs playing 1 on 5 to spark the offense. To be fair Mo probably would do better if he had some help also.

I would agree if Mo showed he did this when he did have help. Utah and Cleveland was the same Mo we know. It's no flow and this is why he is "no mo"

I think Wes will have a breakout season

Breakout from what? He's been steadily improving since his rookie season and he's without a doubt the heart of the team.

I agree Wes does improve every year but my comment about a breakout season means he could very well make the allstar team or all defensive team this season. As good as we know Wes is, he doesn't get much recognition for his game. He said he's worked on his handles and finishing in traffic over the summer which could put him ahead of guys like Hardin or Thompson in the West

He'll need to score more points for that all star bid and that'll require more touches. That's not likely with the current hierarchy of players.

Or he'll get more touches than before because he's the fourth guy they'll double giving him wide open looks.

He had the third most FGA out of our starters last season. Batum had fewer FGA while acclimating himself more as a playmaker. Stotts will go with what worked last season.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Blazers are going to have the best record in the West so Stotts will make sure all of our starters are on the All Star Team.

There you go. The ultimate optimistic response.

All 1st team NBA would by the ultimate response, but I get ya.
