I was momentarily encouraged by his first week of the season, but since then ... I don't even know where to begin. He's bad at the game of basketball right now, that year off did him zero favors.
I always loved Martel. But i actually would rather have Outlaw be the one non-injured right now. I think a Batum, Outlaw sf combo could be the answer for our so called need at the position. But Martel and Blake should be the combo traded to bring in another vet, soon.
I'm not sure why, but he always seem to start out a season well, but then fade a few weeks in. I hope he figures it out soon- we're gonna need small forward.
He looked BAD tonight. He just needs to hit a shot or two. He's working hard defensively, but ... he was really ineffective. I guess he can't get worse than tonight. Ed O.
I hate Martel Brickster. He and Travis Outhouse were two guys that were supposedly key members of our "deep bench" fact is, Martel is no better than any other scrub in the NBA. Fans get overly excited everytime he makes a dunk or a 3, but he's no better than Von Wafer, who is currently out of the league. If he were a late round pick, and had not been taken by us instead of Deron Williams or Chris Paul, would he still even be on the team? I really wish we had Ime Udoka instead of Webster. We'd be better off with Bayless getting his minutes, and playing some other really funky offense.
My meltdown is over. I am calm, collected, balanced. You don't need to have any "comeback to my argument". I"m just saying, Martel has not been very good his entire career. I've watched him, and you can look at his shooting percentages. Making 'one shot' won't make a damn bit of difference. Edo's talking as though Webster is just in a shooting slump. It was just an absurd comment on Edo's part. P.S. I wasn't even talking to you.
Yeah.. Webster's struggling big time with his shot. It's not good to see because we really need the guy to step up.
It's a message board. I can respond to anyone I want. Webster is being unfairly judged in my opinion. Yes, he's playing terribly, but he's a rhythm player, and we all know that. It was the same with Channing Frye. Now we're on a team with no SF but him, yet he's only getting 12 minutes a game. He just can't produce without his rhythm. It's not like Webster did anything terrible to lose his starting position, he was playing decently as a starter, good defense and passable offense. It's just that the Blazers lost a few games playing against some really good teams. McMillan decided to change the lineup, and we're 7-1 with the three guard lineup. I think that it's fools gold for Nate though. You have to consider who we lost to when we were starting Martell. Atlanta, Denver, and Houston are no pushovers. Then you have to consider who we've beaten with the three guard lineup, outside of a struggling San Antonio, there's really been no wins against a quality team. And we still lost to Atlanta, still coming so close and then falling short at the end.
