The Official Blazers Media Day Thread

[PtldPlatypus]

If you still believed last year, then don't stop now.

Last year:


Kind of fun to listen to these in order.

2015 Interview
2016 Interview
2017 Interview
2018 Interview

Anything is possible I guess but I wouldn't let any media day interviews or training camp news give you hope. It's gotten way too predictable and repetitive to take it seriously anymore.

Oh yes, I remember last off-season. I drove the Meyers bandwagon for months. I guess if anyone's gonna give it a jumpstart, it's gonna be me.

Well, maybe @kjironman1. I'll ride shotgun.

I wish his play would do the starting routine for the bandwagon lol.

Meyers sounds the same now as he always did. Nothing has changed. He may have learned a new talking point (consistency) but he’ll always be a meathead with no on court IQ. I’m sure next year the talking point will pivot to “this is my last chance” or whatever other bullshit Drew tells him in LA.

What the hell is this

What the hell is this

I'm trying so hard not to say anything negative about him until the season starts but he makes it so difficult. I wonder how much he pays his wife to call him "hammer"?

 

[Propagandist]

I'm trying so hard not to say anything negative about him until the season starts but he makes it so difficult. I wonder how much he pays his wife to call him "hamner"?

Again: Meyers is so incredibly unlikeable.

I felt like I was watching a reality show about Christian Newlyweds...

What the hell is this

Sign a $41 million contract and you, too can have a chandelier in your weight room:

Megatron?!

I'd be a lot more optimistic if he showed himself watching game film for an hour or two a game, especially with a coach.

I'd guess about $41million...
I'd also guess she controls all the purse strings.

I wonder how much his allowance is. Video games, tats and hair gel aren't free!!!

What the hell is this

He's trying out for the UFC.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

He's trying out for the UFC.

He’ll die...

 

[THE HCP]

Meyers....... he’s the kind of guy who tries to crack jokes when the cameras come on. You guys may not like him because of what he has or hasn’t accomplished on the court, but he works hard and is a genuinely nice down to earth person. I understand why some might watch that and think a certain thing, but that was just him goofing around.
Think what you want, but he is a great guy.

 

[Boob-No-More]

He’ll die...

But at least between the goggles and fighting with his eyes closed, he won't have to worry about putting an eye out:

I actually believe you! I think he’s an alright dude, but unfortunately on the court he’s just frustrating. I dont boo my team, or cheer against players on my team, I want him to succeed, I just have given up on him being a good nba player. If it happens thats great! If not well my expectations are low... I mean hey if I were him Id have signed that contract too.

He's an easy target and has been for years, but he does seem like a good guy, loves America and his girlfriend, too...

I REALLY want him to do well, mostly because we have a shortage of bigs this year and we need either him or Swanigan to step up, but also to silence that haters. OK, that will never happen, but maybe a little less hate...

[THE HCP]

Hey, feel what you want. Just wanted to get that message out there. Trust there have been a few guys who I would say to feel free to hate, but Meyers isn’t one of em. I just wanted people who are blasting him personally, should know that he is a real good guy.

I think where people have the issue is that because of his poor performance (or inconsistent), it makes him already unlikable. And you're not going to pity laugh someone you don't like.

I've heard nothing but good things about him as a person... but when you already have the heuristic of being on this forum and the frustration he's caused as a player... It makes it seem forced and trite. Kinda like how A-rod use to be, except he was always a dick... but he wanted people to like him. lol.

Take just the workout videos between him and Dame. Meyers comes across very douchey and not funny at all. Lillard's video is genuinely funny including him missing every shot.

I'm sure Meyers is a great guy but when he posts the pictures and videos he does he kind of brings it on himself.

I try to keep it to basketball. I have a heard time feeling bad for a guy making as much as he does, but I have a couple times felt bad for him. I think from all appearances he works hard, Ive never heard anything bad about him off the court. Ive felt like for a couple years his best shot at on court success probably lies somewhere else where he can get a fresh start, but this year he should get an opportunity so hopefully he takes advantage of it.

I appreciated the Tom Petty allusion.
