The last time we had a motley crew of rejects...

Not really. You're living in a fantasy world if you think that's how things work. Assholes win all the time because they do what it takes.

 

I'd say Plumlee is.

All the other ones... what do you expect? Most of these players have been in the league < 3 years... How many become starters on decent teams in under 3 years?

It's. A. Process.

 

It's not a fantasy world. It's called you can be a decent human being and work to get results, and not be a douchecanoe to people.

 

I think Davis is a perfect NBA Backup PF, but not a starter on a good deep playoff team unless there are superstars next to him in the wings (more than just Lillard). I think Aminu is starting quality as is Plumlee right now.

 

You mean the Dukes of America?

 

Aminu is replacing Nic. You thought people were bitching about Batum's game, wait till they get a load of this guy. He can't hit a 3 to save his life. Plume is a perfect backup and the only reason Davis put up any kind of numbers is because of the squad he was on.

 

Again, if we're talking about results these things do not matter at all.

 

But winning and losing are results... so character DOES matter.

 

Man, you've become cynical.

People were bitching about Batum because A) he was making bank, and B) every 4th or 5th game he would show us something amazing and then he'd disappear. That's what pissed people off.

 

We have a ton of character this year, so if it does matter, is that going to translate into many wins?

 

Well, the HUNDREDS of media polled by ESPN disagrees with you. In fact, they say that we have SIX starting quality players.

edit: crap, I seem to be way behind the threads today.

 

You rang FAMS!!!???

 

I don't want to get back into it, but Nic was a god damn 28th pick or whatever. He played far and above what ANYBODY thought he would. His contract is a bargain if you ask me. Go look at my thread that shows NBA salaries.

 

It's that Eastern Oregon dial-up internet!

 

I knew if someone was looking for an asshole, you'd be the first one to volunteer yours! :MARIS61:

 

Aminu used to always really do well against Portland when he was on the clippers.

 

Just give me a team with 7-8 guys in double digit figures for a change, rebounds points or assists...and I'm happy this season. Spread around the love

 

Oh HCP, there's a reason why you're locked in the truck and not out in front of the camera

 

Not to mention he was a turnover waiting to happen, especially at critical moments. Or that he couldn't inbound to save his life, the 0.9 be damned. And then, Dame was doing everything but taking a shit on the floor to get Batum's attention. Batum was a good guy, but I think Aminu is a wash at the absolute worst.

 

Then... who is Jar Jar?

PLEASE, PLLLLLEEEEEAAASE tell me we DON'T have a Jar Jar!
