LOL Jaynes having an emotional break down on Talking Ball. It's too bad Haynes can't articulate better how foolish and bias Jaynes is talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Jaynes argued that more people think Love is better because of the All-Star vote, and neither he or Haynes realizes Love's Chinese shoe deal. If Jaynes has to tell people "I'm not a Homer", he's a Homer.

Love fails to close out games. He's not a "go get it done" guy when it matters. His defense at the rim is the worst of any starting big (allowing 68% FG% in the restricted area). All personal stats, poor team results. He looks like Blake Griffin in the post, both relying on physical ability with a shallow skill set by NBA standards.

LA is the better power forward. And I think LA has another notch. Not so sure about Kevin.

We won. Man the fuck up and take credit for it.

Odd. Dwight alleges Chris is Pro Portland. But I think that is his problem. He is Pro Portland when it comes to Kevin Love, it's roots and/or history. It wouldn't surprise me if he and Stan Love are close on the side.

This should be interesting; I generally like what OneLife has to say. Let's read on.

ZZZZzzzzzzz.....

Another solid 4th quarter by the Blazers. Parts of the 3rd I was getting a little frustrated. I hate losing so many of the 50-50 balls.
And the intensity on D was sporadic. But they turned it on again.

MO's floater in the lane is money. He has to teach it to Damian.

 

Re: GAME THREAD: WOLVES @ BLAZERS - JAN. 25, 2014, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW AND NB

I just think Dwight is biased to those things that occured years ago and to Portland's grass roots. Don't think he is being objective when it comes to the two power forwards.

You can watch these two play and come to the conclusion atleast in my opinion LA is the better player. And to me it's athleticism that not only puts him over the top but gives that one extra level he can reach. A level Kevin can't.

Dwight has a microscopic penis so its all good.

 

Re: GAME THREAD: WOLVES @ BLAZERS - JAN. 25, 2014, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW AND NB

Love is pretty damn good. A lot better than I ever thought he would be. He is better than LMA in a couple categories and LMA is better than Love in a few others. Overall I would take LMA. And I think some of Love's teammates would say the same. It would be interesting to get Dante's opinion on them both.

This too.

 

Re: GAME THREAD: WOLVES @ BLAZERS - JAN. 25, 2014, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW AND NB

We are 16-2 this year when Mo scores in double figures.

 

Re: GAME THREAD: WOLVES @ BLAZERS - JAN. 25, 2014, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW AND NB

I've been a supporter of him all year. Still am. But he needs to make the extra pass when someone like CJ McCollum who can shoot it is wide open. He ignores him way too often.

 

Re: GAME THREAD: WOLVES @ BLAZERS - JAN. 25, 2014, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW AND NB

Mo really played well tonight. You can't ask for much more. 16 points 5 rebounds and 6 assists in 25 minutes..

Over all I loved the minutes. TRob , McCollum, and Joel all around the 15 minute mark.

 

Re: GAME THREAD: WOLVES @ BLAZERS - JAN. 25, 2014, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW AND NB

I keep hearing you say that so I look for it. I just don't agree. There were a couple of times he went the other way, but there were a couple time he went to him and ignored the other side. I think it is in your head. I also saw Mo give it to CJ to set up the offense a couple of times.

 

Re: GAME THREAD: WOLVES @ BLAZERS - JAN. 25, 2014, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW AND NB

I love what Mo brings to the team.

When Dwight Jaynes sits on a couch, he looks really, really round.



Dwight Jaynes bobble head doll.

Pull up an archive of where I made this exact point. You won't find it. Not sure where you have 'heard' I said it.

 

Re: GAME THREAD: WOLVES @ BLAZERS - JAN. 25, 2014, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW AND NB

But I've watched these two for several games and he does ignore him. He's not the only one. They all do. His is exposed more because he plays with him in the second unit...

 

Re: GAME THREAD: WOLVES @ BLAZERS - JAN. 25, 2014, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW AND NB

I'd be open to trading Mo for a PG who can play lockdown defense, knock down the open 3, and distribute; in that order. Then let CJ be the "instant offense" off the bench.

 

Re: GAME THREAD: WOLVES @ BLAZERS - JAN. 25, 2014, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW AND NB

I'm not real up on my defensive point guards... Looks like maybe DJ Augustin? We're getting Manu.

He's only getting 8 minutes a game in Toronto, but I don't think he's eligible to trade until next year.
