You're saying it's not possible to get dumber. Implying that he is the dumbest person ever. Not fair for what he has brought to this team. In one post, you defend Oden's bad play (fine) and in the next, you beat up Travis. Not fair at all.
The dumbest person ever? No... that's really not what I was saying. I'm saying it isn't possible for Travis to get dumber (unless he hits his head).
He just makes so many mind-boggling mistakes even after six years. I mean in year three he was running head down and head first into people on a two on one fast break. He's still doing the same thing this year.
He's done more good than bad for us. He's made lots of great plays, given us scoring when he had nothing going, and won a game for us against Detroit.
To me, Travis is like a much saner, more respectful and nice Ruben Patterson. Well, in the sense of basketball knowledge. Skill-wise, Travis has tons more than Ruben. But he's kind of like Ruben in the sense that he's not blessed with high basketball IQ. He has more than Ruben did (and a much better sense of humility), but then again a house plant had more basketball IQ than Ruben did.
You basically admit that they have nothing in common really. Travis brings a lot more to the table and is smarter than Ruben.
That's because all you do is watch the box score. All you do is bring up statistics over and over again. If there was a statistic for not boxing out, for leaving your man wide open, for losing your man in a defensive scheme so he could cut, for running from being wide open into triple coverage, to running with your head down into the one defender on a two on one fast break and getting an offensive foul - Travis would lead the team in these statistical categories if they were kept. Stop watching the box score. You often say learn the game then post (a real vintage OregonLive Kingspeed flashback) but all you do is watch the boxscore. Watch the game and not Travis's good shooting nights and sometimes flashy point numbers.
I watch every single game. I've watched at least 127 straight games. Haven't missed one. Attended 29 of them. Oh and why can't I watch Travis' good shooting nights? I'm supposed to close my eyes when he plays well and open em when he plays badly? Is that what you do? Sounds like it. Learn the game, then post.
Yeah, but if you carried on a conversation with Travis and Ruben, you would understand that Ruben was more intelligent than Travis.
And yet all you do is still take everything that happened in the game from the boxscore. Very unfortunate.
