    8 points on 4-5 shooting
    4 rebounds
    1 block
    0 turnovers
    14 minutes
    +9 +/-

    He either raised his trade value, or is starting to understand how to be an NBA player. You can't teach his size...

    His defense was still nonexistent but he showed much more awareness on offense. One step at a time I guess.

    There are no positives in a loss. Only doom and gloom.

    That was insightful. Next time, please add less analysis. It confuses people.

    I played center growing up and it simply amazes me that centers no longer can play with thier backs to the basket, defend, shoot, and have low basketball IQ's.

    If Dwight Howard played in the 80's or 90's, he would only be considered a decent center. I think centers from those era's would abuse him.

    I agree, Meyers Leonard is the Justin Bieber of the NBA.

    The whole bench really played well, Wright and Meyers played better than I can ever remember them playing, and CJ was awesome. If we could get something like that from them every night Portland would be in much better shape.

    Who is this and what have you done with Sinobas?

    Don't worry Sinobas, I've got your IP address and I'm calling 911. Don't let the impersonator hurt you. Help is on the way!

    PapaG! I just got home and was about to start this thread. I thought the whole bench was great, actually. And that's all I have to say.

    I was pretty happy with the bench tonight. CJ played well again. Wright played decently. I don't think we can expect much more out of the bench.

    LOL, I thought about a whole BlazerFanatic-style treatise on the "Meyers Leonard" effect. You know, an insightful look into the stats........because they are everything. But I decided to go with the short version, the one based on the principle that every point he scores is returned twice to the other team by general defensive cluelessness and horrible basketball instincts. Nice hair though.

    The one thing Leonard is good at is catching the ball a few feet from the hoop and swooping up for two points. Tonight Mo tossed him a couple of those, so Leonard's stats look good.

    Try adding points plus rebounds minus rebounds he should have gotten his mitts on.

    He was +9 tonight. Your fascination with a poster who I don't recall you debating is odd to me, though.

    Break those opportunities down and post what your find. If not, it's a stupid post.

    Actually Homer wears BlazerFanatics skin like Buffalo Bill did in Silence of the Lambs while looking in a mirror and asking himself if he looks statsy.

    Homer is Jame Gumb?

    At least now I know one of the posters who was whining about BF to you mods, though. :cheers:

    I like your style! No analysis, and just a strong negative comment about a current Blazer that was meant to troll posters into reacting to you!
