    Nic is not a threat. Teams are leaving him wide open daring him to shoot. Its having an impact on our court spacing and opportunities for other players. Thats the main reason we've gone from one of the best offenses in the league to above average. I think it was a strong factor in the Afflalo trade as now we could play him in crunch time if need be.

    Where's Blazer4ever to piss on our parade?

    I mean, we did just lose two young studs with endless potential, after all.

    There has to be someone who hates this, right?

    Let's hear from the Loyal Opposition. I'll even buy them a beer.

    :cheers:

    if Nic keeps shooting this bad don't be surprised if his minutes go down a decent bit with Afflalo taking those minutes

    I hope Lillard never becomes friends with Aldridge.

    Blazer doubters usually only post threads after a 3 game losing streak, then disappear when we start winning

    Mike Rice loves to say "Alonzo Gee" so I hope he stays.

    The Professor is toast. Think George wants to get the team passing and learning from Andre but he won't win them any games. Might help them keep their protected pick.

    Only two reasons to hate this:

    1. It's arron not aaron so we can't pronounce his name a-a-ron

    2. If you're a fan of players who are flashy

    exactly, Afflalo has a deadly mid range game and is also a good 3 pt shooter, who will Stotts rather have n the floor a good bit of the time? Afflalo or a 27% piece of garbage 3 pt shooter "this yr" in Nic

    I don't want to head back into the morass of the Official Thread, but I'm looking for BGD's Jaynes multi-player trade quote of "you can keep stacking garbage higher, but it's still garbage".

    Our garbage heap just got us a legit 6th man.

    I wasn't talking about Afflalo, I was talking about Gee. Gee isn't going to play, at all.

    Haha! You made me look to see if he actually changed my name!

    This one is apparently a good mid-range jump shooter. Not like that other guy.
