The Official Blazers vs Hawks Game Thread 7/17/13......

Someone explain it to me..... Freeland makes more money, he's five years older, and yet we harp on Leonard over and over and over?

Expectations are different. But I agree in general, the hate on Meyers is pretty unreasonable.

Freeland wasn't the 11th pick, which some people saying prior to the draft that Meyers wasn't worthy of the 11th pick.

$15 to watch all the streamed summer league games... not just the Blazers.

Yeah, I know. Just had to give you a bit of grief. Hopefully, some of the games have been worth watching.

Freeland is just too small and too slow. But he tries hard and plays semi-decent defense.

Sure can see why McLemore dropped... dude has been terrible.

More money.

Five years older.

I don't care if he ate his wheaties. One of the worst signings we've had in years.

I am really not understanding/seeing why you guys think Leonards D is so awful. I am watching him every play and he is playing decent. He keeps good position and bodies up well. He is not amazing by any means and has a lot of room for improvement, but he is actually demonstrating good defensive fundamentals. I do think his trying not to foul is hurting him overall though.

 

[Natebishop3]

Freeland might be the least athletic big man I've ever seen.

Freeland is a fucking waste. It's like I put 5 mil on black and the dealer hit 0. There is absolutely no hope for us to get anything in return. I think everyone agrees on this

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Shit, I really wish we'd had Atlanta's draft. Bebe's good too.

Everyone is the worst player ever when we're losing and the greatest player ever when we're winning.

The "CoTF" is allergic to the paint

Always a good sign

 

[illmatic99]

I feel like punching Meyers in the face

 

[maxiep]

ESPN3 is free.

Oh, any of us watching this game are paying a pretty steep price.

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm trying to be positive about Leonard, but holy fuck if this three pointer shit continues into the regular season I'm going to lose all hope.

So why do you keep starting threads speculating what we can get for him?

 

[maxiep]

That last three by Leonard did it. Eff that guy.

 

[magnifier661]

He wouldn't fight back.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Oh Joel, you try SO hard...

 

[magnifier661]

Hoping, praying that another gm makes the same mistake we did!

 

[Natebishop3]

I miss the SL broadcasts on CSNW... at least then I wouldn't have to listen to these guys slob all over the Hawks' knobs the whole damn game.

 

[illmatic99]

He wouldn't fight back.

true dat

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I loved District 9, but I can't see the point of Elysium.

Can't put it all on ML. The way he's setting up at the top of the 3 point circle every possession has to be the coaching staff's call.

 

[B-Roy]

Meyers has been doing fine on defense. I don't think he's made many mistakes. What's frustrating is him launching fucking threes.

 

[adrenalize74]

I would be shocked if he was allowed to take regular 3s in the reg season. This is purely a SL experiment to let him practice.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Robinson can't score on the block against MUSCALA?

 

[RoyToy]

I don't think Thomas Robinson is a project

He's just limited. It sucks.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Bebe is killing us.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Freeland scores! Crushes the haters!
