    Maybe so but have lost 5 straight and 7 of 10. Hardly a juggernaut.

    Meyers seems like a good guy but he is just bad at basketball. Plain and simple. The lack of fundamentals he has that most people who don't even still play basketball learned when they were young.

    I still get a good laugh when I think back to when LA left and he talked this big talk about leading the team and all this bullshit. I just can't believe this guy has been on this team for 5 years. Yet guys like patty mills and will Barton, tim Frazier, etc got let go pretty quick

    Yes. A few. I remember a 35 point game offhand.

    The Blazers are that 5 girl that hangs with the 7 girl and makes her look like a 10.

    He did it! He must love wings. I bet he won't be able to do it in a years time.

    I don't even think he's that great of a guy. Anyone who makes millions a year, who blocks people on Twitter and Instagram, has got to be a total douche in my book.

    Even last season when we were in this kind of situation I always felt like we had a chance and could come back, especially with the 2014-15 team but man it just feels like another loss at this point

    The good news is, in a few years Meyers will have some value as an expiring contract.

    Exactly. Nobody remembers his two good games last week because he's so inconsistent and this is the normal crabbe. Feel like he's just another player that has so much potential but I feel he doesn't try or care to reach that potential. Just settled after the 70 mil

    I don't see Vonleh playing hard either - his rebound numbers are weak. Nice 10-0 run to start the 4th. Great fight displayed!

    He is so utterly terrible. It boggles my mind that he's not out of the league yet.
