WTF?!? Turner back next week?!?

[H.C.]

I don't see the magic. Since Turner can't shoot, the p&r aspect shouldn't be that effective.

Wade has never been known as a shooter, yet the pick and roll worked fine for him.
Rondo isn't a shooter, yet he's never had an issue with pick and roll.(regardless of the headcase he is)
Andre Miller isn't a shooter, yet his entire career he was great with the pick and roll.
Jason Kidd wasn't a shooter early in his career, yet he ran the pick and roll well with Kenyon Martin.
I could keep going, there is more to basketball than being able to shoot at league average in threes.
I know you know more basketball than this comment you left makes it sound.

Just curious: what is our starting lineup going to look like when he comes back? Will he still come off the bench?

Dame
CJ
Nurk
Harkless/Turner (?)
Vonleh

Does that sound about right?

And more importantly, what's going to happen to Crabbe?

Total guess on my part, but with the similar injury, my son and brother had the cast on for 30 days and then they had to wait another 2/3 weeks to begin activities.

hold on, your son is your brother?

LMAO, I'm glad I'm not the only one who did a double-take when reading that.

I think Stotts will wait for Turner to start playing well again before he supplants Harkless as the starter.
But recently it's not starting games that Portland has had issues defensively, it's finishing quarters/games.
I think without a doubt Turner will supplant Harkless when Portland is finishing games.
Crabbe is like Batum, an enigma. Though Batum was extremely more talented than Crabbe.

Turner and Hooch? So you're saying Turner likes the Hooch, and he drinks like a fish?

Next you'll be claiming our Bosnian Beast like the Vodka.

Drinks? Hooch was a spitter. I have ot beleive Hanks thinks that was one of the worse movies he has done having to let Hooch slobber nasty dog saliva all over him.
