Why do I always forget this is the guy who believes T-Rob is the goat.

Using this guys logic, the only players on the Blazers roster who should play over 15mpg are Lillard & CJ.
Wait Portland needs to max T-Rob and play him 40mpg.

Ah no, because Aminu is a better player than T-Rob, honestly?
T-Rob is doing great in Moscow, he's much more effective as a EuroLeague player than players like Freeland or Claver, plays on the same team with Alexey Shved

Of course Aminu is a better player than TRob. That why he is playing in the NBA and Thomas Robinson isn't.

Good for TRob. He found a league where he can be an effective bench player relying solely on his athleticism without requiring any skill.

Unfortunately, the FT line is still 15 feet from the basket. Chief is shooting better from NBA 3-point range (.484) than TRob is from the FT line (.447).

Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it...

Or maybe the statistics master can explain to me how 11.4, 7.8 rebounds. 50+% fg in less than 20 minutes per game on average doesn't mean he's a better player than Aminu. And I'm not even sure Khimky Moscow doesn't beat the Blazers the way they're playing right now

I don't mind Chief, he's a good player, seems like a nice person, but he's worth 15 minutes per and everyone should play their roles. He can be more effective playing 15 minutes, could make the team more effective.HOW? Need to improve decision making, play to everyone's strengthes, and that means taking them for what they're worth

Seven NBA GMs and six NBA coaches all gave up on TRob, but they were all wrong and the guy who doesn't even watch the games is right.

This year, any NBA team could have had TRob on a minimum contract, but all 30 teams passed. Apparently, you know more about basketball than every NBA coach, GM and owner.

Congrats on your awesomeness. It really makes me wonder why no NBA team has hired you. Perhaps you're as misunderstood and underappreciated as Thomas Robinson.

Hey, I once averaged 41 points and 20 rebounds a game in a company rec league. We went undefeated during the regular season and won the post season tournament.

Please explain to me how that doesn't make me a better player than Michael Jordan.

This is why we need to proceed with great caution as we tread down the slippery slope of machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Apparently, the bot has created his very own sock puppet.

I'm not the statistic master but dude....he's playing competition in Eastern Europe.....this is like comparing a G league player with Chief....you're beating a dead horse here...see Euro league exhibition games preseason...have they won even one against even the worst teams in the NBA?
TRob couldn't stick with the crappiest team in the east in the Nets when he left here...couldn't stick on a Lakers team that was blown up.....yeah...NBA scouts never saw this coming....old Stephon Marbury scores 50 pts playing in China....he ain't doing that over here

You don't need to be a statistics master to explain this. A vague understanding of global geography is more than sufficient.

TRob plays for some team named Khimky. There is no team named Khimky in the NBA. End of explanation.

After going 3-5 from 3-point range last night, Al-Farouq Aminu is just one made 3-pointer away from being tied for the league lead in 3FG%.

And before anyone plays the small sample size card, he's attempting 4.6 3FG per game - only 1 fewer than C.J.

He's also second on the team in rebounding at 7.3 RPG and he plays excellent defense.

This version of Chief is the perfect role player. He's doing all the complimentary things that helps win games. Anyone who thinks he only deserves 15 MPG hasn't been watching the games, or paying attention to the results.

I still want to see him starting at the 3 and playing the bulk of his minutes there. His length and excellent defense at the 3 helps cover for the lack of size in our starting backcourt. Especially. If you combine him with Collins at the 4 and Nurk clogging up the middle.

I agree 100%. I dont like Turner in the starting linup. Another high dribbling usage player. I think he would be better off the bench with Patty C and Collins.

For now, Id like to see Vonleh with Aminu as our starting 3-4. I still think Vonleh plays best with Nurk. This leaves Turner as our primary bench ball handler/facilitator and he would have many options with PattyC, Collins, etc.


Also, Anyone giving Stotts shit for not changing things up.. well lets go back one game against Miami. One dude hit what... (6) 3's on is in the first half? Stotts made adjustments and held him to only 1 three in the second half.

I have been critical of late of Stotts and not playing to our strengths and catering to the other teams strengths, but this shows he is doing the things at half time to try to make adjustments based on the first half.




Now, if only we could play like this at home.. you know ... the games I attend?????
