    Do you even know what a role player is? That was a term used back on Jordan's teams. Rodman played the role of rebounder. Craig Hodges was the long ball shooter. Specialty players that know their role. Parker, Manu, and Duncan are more than that even though their numbers are down.

    Why is that good? The NBA season is a long marathon trying to sprint in the middle of it slows you down more than it speeds you up.

    Leonard maybe, LMA will have to win a ring or two after Duncan retires before he will even be considered.

    I can't say I blame him. The Blazers need to quicken his learning curve as much as possible.

    From what I've seen I don't think there's much difference in the talent between:
    West / Davis
    Martin / Crabbe
    Ginobli / Henderson
    Anderson / Harkless
    Even Mills / Roberts

    Obviously Kawhi eats Aminu's lunch, and likewise for LMA/Vonleh. Otherwise the talent level of Parker/Dame, Green/CJ, and Plumlee/Duncan isn't THAT huge. Yes, Duncan is the best PF to ever play, but he's been a role player for 3-4 years now - sound fundamentals and mid-range game are the only thing that separate him from Plumlee at this point.

    Can't wait for LMA's HOF induction speech. "My years at Portland....." (sticks up middle finger.)

    Why do the Spurs play such loud music at their arena?

    I think you're underestimating how much of an impact those things have. The problem with us, thanks to Stotts, is that we DON'T have roll players on this team. Everyone is trying to do different shit. PFs trying to be SG, SG playing PF, SF playing Center....it's fucking ridiculous. That's all on Stotts.
