YOU owe Myers Leonard an apology!

[swish3]

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

Meyers had 3 great games this year, which are all that he started, Jan 30 win over Jazz, last game win over SAC, and WCF Game 4. Meyers was 5 of 6 swish3s, 10 of 12 FGA, and 12 rebounds in this game. That is 83% shooting and a double double. He holds the NBA Playoff record for 10+ swish3s with 10 of 13, and might have been on the way to improving that to 10 of 12 and getting us the win if Blazer coaches had been on the ball. You won't find anyone else in the NBA who does better than that. The goal here should be to recognize Meyers, not apologize, as he enjoys fan respect, but does not ask to revisit the past. Blazer fans recognize what he has accomplished!

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.

He shined for a bout a third of the season, the rest of the time he disappeared. Some just remember the good times and not all the times he is attacked on defense or his 0fer games. Once the league had film of him he disappeared.

I watched all 82 games. He disappeared because he wasn't on the court enough to be noticed. Check out his per game minutes and dnp’s. His defense, though far from elite, has dramatically improved over the years, especially this year.

But I don't know any Myers Leonard!

I sure as hell don't owe him an apology, but he deserves credit for his first half performance. If he can work on his defense and post up game, he'd be more impactful going forward.

Completely agree.
Nards is an NBA role player and has shown he deserves a 3rd contract for the majority of 2 seasons now.

It's on Stotts to get him the minutes and to put him in a position to succeed.
It's no longer on Nards to put in the work.

If Nards doesn't have a bigger role next year I will lose my shit.
I don't care if Kanter/Nurk are both healthy and on the roster. Give this man minutes.

(Nurk is considerably better than both Kanter & Nards)

If Philly still had Roco I'd try to strike a deal with them for him.
As Philly needs a back up Center badly.
Nards > Boban

Meyers played great for a few games. The warriors defense was a joke, allowing 4 on 3 every play. Meyers took advantage of that whereas Aminu and Harklesz were worthless.

I'm fine if we trade Meyers now at a sell high time, fine if he comes back as a backup until Nurk is healthy, or fine if he gets DNP and is an expiring contract.

His defense wasnt great against the warriors. He was great on offense. If he plays with confidence and takes shots he could have value.

That warriors series was so fluky with their injuries, no bench, crazy defense.

Was good to see Meyers have some big games but I don't think this means he will have value in most games in the future.

Turner was a key to winning game 7, I'd still prefer he is not on the team next year. Playoffs mean a lot but a couple big games doesn't outweigh months and years of crap play.

 

[Strenuus]

No.

Get him off this team.
