Blazers Beat Reporter Mike Richman did an AMA

I meant over the course of a season, not just for one game. Or, do you think he's already peaked and it's all down hill from here?

BNM

 

I understand. That one game is at his best though. I'd love to see more than that. If he does, he could become a Top 10 center all time (Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Mikan, Walton, Robinson, Ewing, Ben Wallace.)

 

Didn't we have all these question marks last year though? And none really solved themselves foe the better.

Moe was MIA half the season.
Aminu and ET had typical seasons.
Nurk was inconsistent.
Collins was meh, and only a rookie.
The team played a horrible brand of basketball.
CJ had a down year.

And through all that, we got the 3rd seed.

 

Look at his first and last half of his previous season and compare. If he can play lime he did down the stretch for a whole season, we have an all-star level big man.

 

I get it and I like Zach Collins a lot. I too also am interested to see how Simons and Trent develop. Interested in how Nurk plays. I guess I am more so looking at the future beyond this year thinking damn what assets do we have besides an expiring Aminu and Harkless contract? I just want this team to get better, I feel like we have been in the same place for a few years now. I thought we got back great on our feet after LA left but ever since then it's just been meh

 

I guess I just have the same questions because I don't know which player has really proved themselves. They all have had their flashes of great games and then very underwhelming games. The consistency outside of Dame and relying on CJ just kinda falls apart. I hope the season is good, I really do but it just looks off right now from the feeling I get. I hope it's wrong though

 

Not an accident.
Biebs doesn't play D, he's out.
ET doesn't shoot, he's out.

Collins needs experience and Trent is a noob, but Aminu/Harkless off the bench is attractive.

 

I'm just saying, imagine if we find that consistency. Something to be excited about.

 

Well sure, when Nik Stauskas, Gerald Henderson, and Sergio Rodriguez combine for 76 minutes. We should have blown them out.

 

Which Blazers beat the reporter, and why?

Were they arrested?

Is the reporter expected to live?

So many unanswered questions.
