I would be happy if they turned into half a rodman. That would mean they would only average like 10 rebounds a game.
And half of a wedding dress, and half of Carmen Electra in the stands. Strangely, I might be ok with that.
Is Pendergraph the "enforcer" on the team now? Especially with Joel gone, is JP the guy who will come in and foul someone hard if they cheap-shot one of our guys?
You know the only problem I have with your assumption is that Joel was actually doing that why he was playing. Half of the problem for Portland has been that nobody has been doing that. Too many nice guys. Pendergraph is the first guy that has played nasty here since Ime Udoka left.
You bring up a valid point. I somewhat included Joel because he's the closest thing we have to an "enforcer". The difference between Joel and JP might be that while Joel might be a tough guy, JP seems to be the guy who might go off and Rick Mahorn your ass. Joel will knock you on your butt, but do it in a manner that doesn't come off too dirty, with a message of "hey, stop that. please". JP seems to be the guy who will provoke you into doing something stupid and then knock you on your ass and send a message of "don't fuck with me or my team".
Yep I know what your saying. That is probably because Joels "Red Ass" is the closest thing we had to some nasty on this team.
I love Joel, but he really does not strike me as someone that will get into someone's face when one of his teammates is hit. You do not want to mess with him as many people learned, from Chandler to 'Melo - but he is not someone that will go after someone when that said someone is being nasty to one of his teammates. The two last players we had that did do that were Roy (Remember him going after Ariza) and Jarret Jack (In LA going after Odom). JP seems like the kind of guy that will chew you out if you go after someone else on the team. Gotta love that.
