    I don't. They aren't worth the energy used to type them. Every fucking year we get an article from someone proclaiming Meyers has reinvented himself. Or he has dedicated himself. Or he is more confident and ready to step up.

    Nice.

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 5 years in a row and I'm a blind homer

    If true, he would be the perfect 4 in our lineup.

    If I had to choose, I would pick Carmello waiving his clause and coming to Portland. None of these will happen. The least likely is Crabbe putting up those numbers. I could see him putting up 20ppg on a shitty team, but 6 rebounds and 4 assists? That's basically Crabbe turning into CJ over night.

    Sure, I have as much skepticism at this point as any of you. That said, what Meyers is able to do on the court has zero to do with what any of us may think about his chances to improve. It's all up to him. I can't think of any valid reason to root against him. If he improves his play he either helps the team or improves his trade value. Go Meyers!

    You can take that last sentence in any way that works for you.

    We need more defense. Meyers definitely won't provide that at the 4

    I saw ML at the gym and he is looking like a beast. He dominated. Arguably best player on the floor.

    I didn't have my phone, so I don't have any pics, but I was hanging with @HCP and believe he took some. HCP, can you please shut these fools up and post the pics?

    Ah yeah. My bad. I thought the towel boy looked familiar, but I didn't want to walk over during play, and my view was blurry.

    Oh, for God's sake. There are no miracles in the NBA. I'm glad Leonard has his confidence back, but the first time he gets in a real NBA game and starts sucking again his confidence will drop back down to 30.

    Any MFers rooting for Meyers to fail to fit their prerogative need to chiggidy check themselves.

    This is the problem. I remember last offseason it was writing in the journal, now this. He just seems so broken mentally it's hard to see him ever settling down.

    That screencap looks like he's trying to remember the next step he's supposed to take.

    Word, I feel like a lot of the animosity definitely comes from him not living up to potential/expectations.

    Wasn't Meyers solid in the playoffs v. Memphis a couple years ago?

    I will believe it when I see it, 5 years he has shown nothing. Embarrassing. Heard this story before, "he has gotten better, the new meyers"

    yeah yeah yeah...
