Mr. Mac back to his old tricks

I guess we wont see Blake going to the Bench when McClueless ends the three guard lineup.....

McClueless should play Useless instead of Blankey . . .

 

Nice! Don't forget Outcast...

 

Ugh....

Experience is overrated.

 

And youth are naive

 

Do you ever scratch your head and wonder what Mac is doing?

I do.

 

Talent is all that matters.

 

When I come to this board I always scratch my head. Then I scratch my ass and I feel much better.

 

Is this JR Rider?

And I'm assuming you are a TO fan . . .

 

.....

 

Before your time probably . . . tons of talent, dumb as rocks.

 

Listing a single player just doesn't prove a point.

I'll take talent 100% of the time over experience. It won't work out 100% of the time, but it will most of the time imo. Experience is overrated.

 

Whatever you say boss. Forget the fact players, coaches and analyst talk about the importance of NBA experience (including palyoff experience) . . . experience is to be ignored, take talent 100% of the time.

Blazers choose experience over talent this summer . . . but they must have overrated experience.

 

If you honestly think that in the long run Blake is better for this team than Miller, then you are as dumb as rocks

 

Then I realize that if Bayless were in running the 2nd unit it would get totally out of control and disorganized, then I understand what Nate is trying to do...

 

I completely concur with him. There is something to be said for players that can flat out ball when they come into the league. You know what you have. Then you compare that to project players. Project player almost never pan out IMO. Look at Martell and Outlaw. They are prime examples of this. Years of project player development and drafted with their "athletic" ability. Yet neither one could "ball" at all when drafted. Years later, they have finally become below average players. I could have easily done without the years of anguish and just drafted a player who knows how to play basketball from the start.

Experience is a bonus if the player knew how to play ball when they entered the league. Not so much if they are a project player at best.

 

And I said that where, deleted?

 

The thread is about Miller going back to the bench, and your comments are obviously pro that decision

 

I'm not saying experience is everything, but it is a factor to consider.

Just like you mentioned, Martell has talent but has yet to reach the potential people saw in his talent. I would take a cagey vet who knows how to help a team with limited athletic ability than a talented player who can't alot with it.

I think it's Miller's experience that makes him as effective as he is . . . not saying he doesn't have talent, but he mixes his talen with his experience to be effective.

 

If that is how you read my comments, then I guess you are the one dumb as rocks.

(try editing that one . . .)
