Shooter/Talkhard never allows himself to have any fun. He somehow thinks we, as fans, have to subscribe to the same mantra as players when it comes to "respect your opponent." Personally, I've always believed our opponent can go fuck themselves in a blackberry patch. If you are trying to put my team in a bad situation, I'm going to hate you. Plain and simple. -Pop
When I think of Wafer, I don't hate him. Instead, I get really annoyed at KP/Nate. Nate says he didn't keep Wafer not because of his talent, but because he didn't fit the timeline of the rest of the team. This is STUPID. Wafer was born in 1985 - he's 23 (24 in July), and we threw him away. Wafer > Webster > Frye He's also played much better than Outlaw, who also is given a "License to Shoot." p.s. I hate the haircut, too.
Kinda funny, but Wafer has 3 times as many assists as Travis in this series, in half the playing time. If you thought Outlaw was a chucker before it's pretty disturbing that he's made Wafer look like Steve Nash in this series.
Not a stretch. I think the sense with Webster is that he WILL be better and that Wafer is as good as he's going to be. Higher ceiling or no, Wafer's better today, even if Webster were available for the playoffs.
Wait a second... so you arent sure if he is or not? You sure seem to offer your opinion in here very freely for someone who must not watch much or have much knowledge of this team.
And why does this matter, exactly? I used someone else's reasoning against them to show what a heap of shit it was (though I'm sure they already knew that). I've watched a fair bit of Blazers playoff action, so I guess I'm allowed to wager a thought here and there as well. Good try though.
nice.. base something on 4 games of playoff action.... nice sample size to base comments on. So what exactly was I trying again?
No word, but it won't help Yao tomorrow. If he needs to play anywhere near 40 minutes to get his touches, he will turn the ball over and miss his turn around shots late in the game.
Thats what I'm hoping for lol.. but I want it to be a close game so Yao stays in and then is gassed for game 6. Thats my only hope right now, and I'm holding onto it dammit.
