OT: Are you Pro-Outlaw or Anti-Outlaw?

Amen. Everytime he gets the ball at the top of the key I turn to my wife and say "Traveling" (Maybe it makes me feel better if I beat the ref to the call?) Sometimes he keeps his pivot foot planted, but he's so damn off balance, and his off pivot foot is flopping around so much - it just looks like it SHOULD be traveling!

But dude was good tonight. And he's good a lot of nights. He definately makes me say "Ahhh #%#$ Travis!!" about 20 times/week, but he does some things well that are rare. He can get his own shot off, and he hits big shots. I'm learning to live with the rest . . .

 

Outlaw averages 1.1 turnovers/game, which puts him 8th on the team while he plays the 4th most minutes.

I don't understand this argument about people being afraid of Outlaw turning the ball over every time he touches it.

 

Oh, come on Man . . . don't you see the "happy feet"?

I have to say though, he usually keeps that pivot foot planted. But that other foot is flopping all over the place.

 

Travis has definitely stepped up his game over the past month and a half. The biggest knock on him was whether we'd get good Travis or bad Travis each night, and we've been getting a lot of his good side lately.

In November and December, he averaged 10.5 points per game, and last month, he averaged 15 points per game. He's shooting well, and he's more and more taking it to the hole without it making it look awkward.

 

He has definitely improved his game as the season has gone on. The coaches are doing good work with him. I can't wait to see what he's like in the playoffs.

 

Travis has always been one of my favorite players... Frankly, I'm kinda shocked that any of us would vote against the guy. He has saved us in so many late-game situations, plus the guy is amazing to watch (even if he exponentially increases the degree of difficulty on a lot of his shots, it seems like those are the ones he is most likely to make).

 

I'm Pro-homo!...er...I mean Pro-Outlaw!

 

I think Travis is likely "special" as well. Just not in the way you think he's special.

 

That's because the ball isn't in his hands for long. He's a spot up shooter who rarely passes.

 

If Zach Randolph played defense with the intensity of Kevin McHale and had the character of AC Green, he'd still be a Blazer. What's your point? "If" is a pretty important word.
