Where’s Aldo?

[tlongII]

As a North East Portland resident I would expect him to be more active on game days here. What up?

 

[HailBlazers]

We're winning with scrubs?

 

[MickZagger]

He’s a troll. So he has no material at the moment.

 

[BassPlaya]

Come join in the joy AP. It's good for the soul.

Every time Yang plays is material for him. As is Amen playing while Scoot sits. "As good as we're playing right now, think how much better we'd be if we added Thompson and Coward to this lineup..."

Who?

I mean, Aldo isn't wrong about Coward......

That dude ain’t from The NEP…..I don’t care what he says. Too many *BLTs going on with him.

He could start with your haircut! #BAM

Maybe he's trolling Rocket fans right now?

Are we sure Caleb isn’t better? How do they compare over the last 10 games?

What does that mean, “Isn’t wrong?” Is he looking at box scores and saying he is playing well for a rookie? You could do the same? Or even @julius ?

I mean, Coward is playing very well for a rookie. And right now, it would be nice to have him on our team. Would make a consolidation trade easy. I'm not having a ton of faith in Yang from what i've seen of him in actually NBA minutes. I know he is young, but Coward is NBA ready.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

He didn't show up yesterday for the loss? Ida lost money on that bet….

Yeah, the fact that 24-year-old undrafted Caleb Love is significantly more impactful than Yang only underscores the notion that outside of top-tier prospects, experience trumps potential more often than not.

Sure, but you know that Love is always going to be the bench guy brought in to stoke the offense. Kudos to the Blazers for recognizing his talent because he’s been contributing a lot to the team’s recent run of success. That said, I don’t think anyone on the Blazers’ staff expected Yang to be an immediate contributor this season. He’s raw, way too soft, and needs to add strength and conditioning. The Blazers thought his size, passing instincts, and flashes of shooting and post moves were worth taking a chance on him as a potential impact player a few years down the road. It remains to be seen if they’re right, but this isn’t the season for that evaluation to be made.

Interesting. How do we know that is his ceiling?

I’d say his limited play-making and defensive abilities are what caused thirty front offices to pass on drafting him. But more power to him if he can prove them (and little old me) wrong.

 

[kjironman1]

Really?

 

[RR7]

Why do we consistently recognize this dude is a troll who we hate seeing around trolling, but then call for him to come back any time we win a few games in a row. Just put the loser on ignore, and we'll all be much happier

I don’t think you would find a single person that would argue with this point. Just saw you said the ALDO guy wasn’t wrong about something…..but that’s a pretty obvious observation. Gotcha.
