Looks like we have it down to an 8 man rotation

Cunningham odd man out. It also looks like our bench is beyond dreadful. And the scary thing is... when Rudy comes back in 2 weeks.... im guessing hes our reserve SF until batum is back.

Fact of the matter... until outlaw comes back... we have to watch howard. Thats beyond brutal cause the dude gets abused out there... and thats being nice. He is sooooooooo bad. We cannot go forward with outlaw as our backup PF. But thinking KP would upgrade us is thinking the twolves will make the playoffs. In other words... NO CHANCE IN HELL. I FUCKING HATE PRITCHARD.

 

Feel better?

Sorry the Blazers won tonight. You're probably tired of them proving you wrong.

 

great win...


but the fact we need performances like that nightly from roy and la.... its fool gold

YOU CANNOT HAVE HOWARD AS YOUR BACKUP AND COMPETE NIGHTLY.

 

Just like John Nash, he's the worst GM in Portland history, until the next one.

 

How many injuries do you need to have before Juwan Howard becomes an acceptable backup?

4? 10? A million? Satisfy my curiosity!

 

We have 4 rotation players injured. The plan wasn't to have Howard as a backup! Shut the fuck up. Seriously. You *edited*

 

The Blazers have beat the Rockets/Suns/Heat with Howard as the backup since Oden went down. They're competing. You're wrong.

Just admit you're always wrong and that you should probably cancel your ISP.

 

Nate will never go with an 8 man rotation, simply because he can't bear to leave players in when they make an inevitable mistake.

They would have to hold TO's and PF's under 10 a game for him to get that relaxed.

 

It's not fool's gold, it's just the reality of having a decimated roster. Try to get over making the playoffs and being a "contender" and it gets a lot easier to watch the games.

And yes, I know where you're headed with this; this team probably needs a trade and yes a legitimate backup power forward or a small forward (starter or reserve) would be helpful, but you're going to have to wait until closer to the deadline ... healthy bodies are tradeable bodies.

 

well good gms fix gaping holes like howard.

and when we lost outlaw... thats when that old man got plying time. rudy and batum being out is no excuse for howards terrible play

 

Team is 9-8 since then.

Still wrong. Always wrong.

 

with our sced.... 9-8 is not that good pal lol

 

Looks to me like the Blazers are 3-1 since you said this:

Just maybe you should come to the realization that you don't know very much about this team.

 

Still hating on the 12th man on the roster?

I'd bet that you are about the only one that thought the Blazers would get more from Howard than they have been. He's a deep bench player, here for emergency backup minutes.

You should turn that basketball mind come something more important....like whether the team should make a trade.

You are a TRUE fan!

Go Blazers

 

Need some liquor in that eggnogg?
Przy got 3 blocks that didn't get accounted in the scorebook.
Webster and Miller had pretty good stat sheet.
ROY was the man in the clutch when we needed him
And Blake, was just Blake.

I guess your still not happy with a win.

 

he doesnt like the team just likes to dis and hate his next target....and then there were none....

 

"We," lol...

 

Hmmmm. Well considering that we lost 4 key rotation players, I think Howard is alright. Why grab a player if you will have problems with minutes when those key players come back? Oh and what's to say that KP isn't looking at offers? Maybe other teams aren't willing to give up a player for one of our injured ones. Maybe they would rather play their players that contribute, then take a gamble on someone with a broken foot or bad back? Regardless, we are very injured and should be really lucky we still have a winning record, thanks to Roy and Aldridge playing out of their minds since Oden went down.

 

during the preseason, there was a thread in here in which the majority of the fans in here thought that Howard should be the primary backup PF over Outlaw
