That "He is, but he's next-level angry right now." is so fucking ridiculous. it reminds me of this classic [video=youtube;SiMHTK15Pik]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiMHTK15Pik[/video]
Matthews has become the biggest surprise to me. It seems he is playing at an ungodly level right now. It is sooooooo impressive!
But I thought everybody said Wes Matthews was garbage because of the way he was playing in preseason. Where are the haters now?
Correction. Nobody said he was Garbage with credit. They were concerned (myself included), that something was up with him. Like does he really want to be in Portland
The thing with Wes is when he is injured he is no where near as good as when he is healthy. And since he plays injured he often looks......old. Has he ever looked better than these last 10 games? Forget his 3's, he usually is good at that. But the way he has been attacking the basket, posting up, and hitting the pull up J........whole different level IMO.
Let's just hope and pray that he stays healthy all season. I would love to see the Wes we had when he first arrived. I remembered seeing 15 point quarters on a frequent basis.
Wes played less basketball this summer than ever with his surgery and he did not look good in preseason games but that's preseason. I think Wes could contend for Most Improved Player this season if he continues. What I'm happy to see is Wes making his layups and even creating his own shot. The 3's were always there and the D's were always there. Wes loves this team, he's not looking elsewhere. I'm giving him daily write in votes on the allstar ballot, he's earned them.
I think Earl Watson is being groomed by Stotts to be a future assistant coach. They go way back to the Seattle days together.
