    Re: Great Game By Webster

    I am a HUGE Webster fan.

    10 more games like (Well good decisions, knocking down the shot and playing tough D) that and I will be a believer. Been burned too many times before wanting him to succeed off a once game great performance.

    I REALLY REALLY REALLY want him to succeed, so please turn the corner Webs.

    Could it be because he's starting now? Now that he's not the #3 option on the team? He can comfortably go out there and play hard D and feel more relaxed?

    Who knows. I've long thought Martell gets the yips when the pressure is on, and maybe him being a featured guy on a second unit gets into his head where he feels like he really needs to explode and run teams off the floor with his offense. The trouble is, when you're pressing trying to score and have a "huge" game it sometimes blows up in your face.

    With Webs I sometimes get the feeling I'm watching a stick of dynamite that's just as likely to blow up in your hand as it is to blow up where you want it. He brings tons of energy, but it needs more focus and maybe that exists where he only has to do a couple of things playing alongside better go to guys in Roy, Aldridge and Oden.

    Re: Great Game By Webster

    I can agree with that. The amazing thing is when his game is on, he almost looks "super star" in talent. Unfortunately for us, he does it few and far between. I would be most happy with him letting the game come to him and stop thinking about him having to contribute so much on the offensive end.

    I remember Kersey had that same problem when he first came in. Only until he decided to take defense as his #1 priority was when his offense came to him. Maybe it's just about relaxing.

    James Jones was a stiff two years ago. I certainly don't want him back now.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    I can see why you wouldn't like him: he's one of those players whose mere presence seemed to help us win games, without his influence being reflected in individual stats. Kinda like Steve Blake, really.

    Isn't he the Blazer career leader in 3-point %?

    James Jones had a bad PER. The Blazers need more players like Zach Randolph and SAR to win games.

    Ed O. is quite the PER hound, isn't he?

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    Yeah, that Blazers team was a special one.

    And his intangibles have endeared him with that Heat team, haven't they?

    He's awesome. My bad.

    I wonder if moving Webster to the starting spot actually improved his game? I mean not because he wanted to start, but that he isn't asked to be the 2nd or third option off the bench. I actually really like Webster starting because he focuses on defense more and will get the ball from Roy's penetration or Oden's post kick out. Regardless, I just really hope this isn't a fluke. Please Webster, for the love of God, take last night's game and incorporate it to your current future. We don't need you to score 20 a night, but just make good decisions with the ball and play solid D.

    Re: ALL ABOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDDDD!

    You're being sarcastic (shame!) but name me another Blazers team that had a 13-win streak. With LaMarcus out for some of it (but Jones out for none of it).

    They've been listening to you. Never a good idea.

    Careful, one day you'll be sneering and your face will freeze like that.

    Well I hope Webster has another good game tonight. I would love to see Webster get a break and turn into a pretty good journeyman type player.
