YOU owe Myers Leonard an apology!

[Stevenson]

I know I do.

Way to go big fella.

Thanks!

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Meyer50!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

For what?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Dear Meyers,

I'm sorry you've had a career PER of 12.3.

Thank you for playing well against a Warriors team that is coasting tonight.

With any luck you can teach Zach Collins to be average in his 7th season as well.

 

[BonesJones]

What? He gets blasted because he could have this type of impact. Because he's extremely talented and doesn't play up to it. A night of playing up to it just proves it more.

 

[Dutchman063]

Only one that played with heart tonight...good job Leonard

 

[twobullz]

For what? you not being able to spell his name?

 

[Chris Craig]

He is tradable now

 

[illmatic99]

30 points in an elimination game.

Everyone can STFU

is this how you get your jollies?

He's the new Vanilla Gorilla.

Reality is that he was easily our best player in Games 3 and 4.

I don't know if that says more about him or about the way everyone else played, but it sure is something.

 

[HailBlazers]

Stotts especially.

 

[joeBlazers]

It took Stotts 10 years to figure out how to use ML ... great coach. Duh !!!
Again, we play the Warriors 4 times per year. He still hasn't learned anything.
Again, Dame and CJ shooting too many 3s. Like I said before, you can't beat the Warriors at the 3 ball.
We took 41 3-pointers. They took 39 ...
Play your freaking game ... Play the midrange game.
This is seriously annoying. Brainless players.

 

[BlayZa]

I've said since day one we're using him wrong and that whoever is trying to make him into a 7foot avg SG needs a bullet.

All i ever asked for from Meyers was, holy fuck.......... use your athleticism, play active, rebound, play hard defense, and GET IN THE GAME WHEN ON THE FLOOR.

i think all that really happened was he somehow realised he hasnt been playing to his strengths and another outside shooter (in a C's body) is the last thing we need.

i dont feel the need to apologise for anything, he needed to change, finally he did. for a game or 2 at least.

i gave him shit after consistent performances of shit. i'll give him props after likewise.

 

[Strenuus]

Thanks for making it easier to trade you, Meyers!

 

[swish3]

Thanks for making it easier to trade you, Meyers!

Strenuus, I couldn't disagree with you more! You watch a 1st half in which Meyers scored 5 of 6 swish3s (that is 83.3%!) that is the leading scoring of all players in the game and do not recognize what he has accomplished. Instead of talking about other players who may score 45%+ swish3s that we might add to the team, I would emphasize that Meyers has scored 75%+ swish3s now and previously in the Playoffs, and deserves to be recognized. His 10 of 13 swish3s still stands as the NBA record for at least 10 scored swish3s in the Playoffs!

 

[borim69]

I am sorry I don't think I owe Meyers shit except for he had a fantastic game. 1 fantastic game. He will probably battle for the start spot until Nurk comes back next year. It took 7 years for him to get here lets see if he can hold it or was it just a fluke since everyone was guarding Dame and he was open. With Enes maybe not being able to be signed due to cap issue's at this point it would be a little silly to trade him right now. With ET's contract equivalent to a tugboat anchor on a Prius we dam sure cant sign anyone much better then Meyers.
By the way Great game Meyers!

 

[swish3]

Watching the press interview of Dame and Meyers after the Meyers highlights, I can imagine that we would have won WCF Game 4 if Dame had really noticed that Meyers was the undisputed hot hand in the game, and should have taken the shot at the end of regulation (on a kickout pass), and also the last shot at the end of OT. When you have a guy shooting over 80% on swish3s, it pays to notice him and feed the hot hand. This is one facet where we really can improve and win these tough highly contested games. Meyers only missed 1 swish3 the 1st half, and because his last swish3 attempt was without enough time to beat the shot clock, only 1 in the 2nd half. If only we would have continued with Meyers instead of Rodney and Dame to score, we might have won.

Let's add noticing and putting a priority on feeding the hot hand, particularly for swish3 scoring, to the list of improvements to help us win the NBA Championship next season! You saw it first here!

 

[Mediocre Man]

is this how you get your jollies?

I'm not sure, let me check.

 

[Orion Bailey]

“Hands you a roll of tp”

 

[TBpup]

Great game!

When it is more than once or twice a season, maybe apologies will start rolling in.

 

[handiman]

People saying it's about time Meyers showed up, conveniently ignore that he's been very efficient the past two years. He just hardly ever gets in the game and is only used as a safety valve. This was the first time I can remember since the Memphis series that he was used as a primary weapon.

Once again, Meyers plays his best basketball in the playoffs. Most teams would die for a player of that description, yet Portland fans can't wait to run him out of town. It must be the black athlete hatred in Oregon that Sheed and Rider were talking about...

Agreed.

For whatever reason, it seems like Stotts has a double standard going on with Meyers. Stotts will blow a fuse over something Meyers does, but will not blink an eye if Dame, CJ, Chief, etc makes the exact same mistake.

The problem with Meyers is his defense and rebounding. Offensively, he is really good, and when he is confident, he's downright scary. But between his shaky mindset and poor defense, he can get lost in the shuffle. Terry is clueless at times though. What he has done to Layman is yet another double standard.

 

[The Professional Fan]

He is tradable now

I came into this thread only for this topic.

 

[Jon]

he had one great game and now im supposed to apologize to him? pfft. not going to happen.

He's match-up dependent, for sure. He bangs and rebounds well against certain players, and looks lost chasing around others. We have enough bigs to play to the strengths of each one on a game-by-game basis ... but that would take a less rigid coaching approach.

i cannot believe that for someone that shined throughout the regular season and a factor in our success during that time, was never played in the playoffs. that just dumbfounds me. him and Turner were great together.
