Tough position for McMillan to be in...

[Mediocre Man]

I think it is more of a PapaG versus Moderator debate.

Maybe PapaG is really Nate McMillan?


If so, you are an assclown Papa. If you are not Mr. Sonic, please disregard this post.

Sadly, it wasn't me who came up with that name. I can't remember who it was, but it's brilliant.

A friend of hasoos and mine coined it a couple of weeks ago.

It was brilliant.

Blazers are 5-5 with Blake as the starting PG

Blazers are 7-2 with Miller as the starting PG despite Blake pushing Roy out of his natural SG position.

Nate still prefers Blake. Don't ask me why.

 

[hasoos]

And the question still remains, how would the team play if Roy and Miller started with a true SF playing with them. The lineup was only used twice in the pre season, and has never been used in the regular season. Nate says he has tried it, but he hasn't tried it. Not like it should really look.

blanky is what nately was when he was a player....enough said.

McMillan played good defense.

My gravest concern is Oden not resigning with us this summer. Anyone else worried about that? I would MUCH rather have Oden then Roy if forced to choose. Roy is great, but his "hail to the king" rhetoric is getting a tad old. PER at 19 comparing himself to PER 30 players? He's still living in the 2008/09 season. I believe Roy CAN be as good as LBJ and Kobe, he just needs to prove it on the court and play REAL defense for 48 minutes.

My fondest hope is Roy and Oden gaining incredible chemistry. Lord let it be so!

Roy and Bryant had the same PER last year. Say Roy is living in the past if you must, but the fact is he was 7th in the NBA in PER last season. Criticizing a player is one thing; flat out making things up to explain your criticism is quite another. If you don't like having an elite talent on the team, just say it. But this passive-aggressive BS with Roy is getting very old. He shoots too much! He isn't shooting enough! He's coasting!

You people need to make up your minds.

"BLANKY" is the best nickname ever. I wish he were a dominant player, so that the whole nation could be introduced to that nickname.

Awesome name, referring at once to his contributions on the court and of being Nate's security blanky. Classic.

We all have one big opinion. We do need to make up our minds to reduce the hypocrisy.

We'll work on that.

And why do you always bring up Miller every time I post about Blake? I didn't even mention Miller. No matter how Miller plays, that doesn't take away from the fact that Blake sucks.

Come ON. Lay off of him. He has a single-digit PER.

The lower the better, right?

I've made you petty and somewhat obsessive toward me. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing for this board.

Personalize things more, and be sure to use your words.

It's always been all about you. Even when I post in response to other posters, it's just so you'll read it and take offense and feel slighted and/or persecuted.

It is all about you. I'm glad that you finally realized that.

It's all about me, yet I'm not the one using "signature" on my posts, Ed O. You directly quoted my post, right?

Why the angst, Ed O.?

I'm not sure that know what you're talking about, but maybe I sign my name not because I've been doing it for 17 years posting about the Blazers online, but because someday I hoped and prayed that you would make fun of me for it?

[PapaG]

It won't officially be all about me until I get a studio shot of myself spinning a ball on my finger with a Blazer hoodie on.

I've been posting for 12 years, all without signing my name, or posting staged photos of myself. It's all about me.

It's not from a studio; it's in my company's conference room. I did it for my new job. Sometimes when you have a job employers want to write press releases and/or put you on their Web site. If you have a cool job, they let you bring in props to indicate what you are interested in.

The Blazers are one of my favorite hobbies, so I wore a Blazers' hoodie. Having a job is awesome, and working at a place that lets me show off my Blazers fandom is even better.

One day I would love to meet you in person so I can see whether you're truly this pathetic in person, or if this is all just a facade for your own enjoyment.

I'll meet for a drink any time, Nate. How does next week sound? I promise I don't bite, and I promise I'm not "pathetic", which is another great term from a mod.

Gee, I have a job too after being off all summer. A real "perfessional" job as well. They don't exploit me (or defer to my wishes while guffawing behind my back), or at least that's how I see it.

If you play for Nate McMillan it is.

Blake is 11th on the team in PER (only Juwan is lower), but 3rd in minutes. Yeah, that makes sense.

This is a fantastic thread.
