This current roster isnt even close to a contender. Even with a healthy Greg and Joel (which i doubt we will say often) this roster is still in need of major pieces. Watching guys the last few games like Millsap and Landry kill us makes me wonder how we do not hav a player like that on our roster. A guy who can score easily instead of praying that his 20 ft jumper falls.... you know our entire roster. The only nights we are gonna win at this point is when the other team is really off or when we are hitting all our jumpers. What's amazing is we have regressed to the point that this team as is isnt a playoff team this year or next. So many questions need to be answered about this shitty group kpee has put together. 1. Point Guard. Miller is so up and down and frankly just looks like he hates it here. He also gets abused by quick guards. Blake will leave after this year. Who plays PG next year? Bayless just doesnt seem to be that good to start. Backup? i guess but the league has figured him out. Scouting report on bayless is just make him shoot jumpers and take away dribble penitration. really simple. 2. Center. I mean you know how i feel. We need a legit backup to ODen because pryz wont be ready or nearly affective as he use to be for months into next season. He wil also leave at next years end. 3. Banger at PF. this might be our biggest need. You can always slide softy over to center but how bad does this team need a landry or milsap type? Its so painfully obvious. 4. SF. 5 years later we still dont know. Is it webster? Is it batum? Should we trade for a legit 3rd option or maybe 2nd option. I love the iggy idea. Kpee or Nate have to decide soon cause since batum came back webster looks lost again. So my point here is we really seem further away then most think. With the west becoming so tough... making the playoffs this year or next without fixing these issues has become unlikely. Forget about contending. Not even close with this roster. And the sad truth is, we know Kpee wont do shit to fix it. He will be counting the days till hes back in the lotto picking some over hyped euro who wont play till 2013. Its such a fucking joke. Kpee is so bad when hes not doing something lotto involved. And even those picks look more and more shaky. So sad to see the Blazers efforts all December and early January wasted because our gm has no talent to make deals. I mean i hope his little sell out streak at the rose garden ends. This season has been such a major disappointment. Everyone keeps saying next year but i dont see a whole lot changing. Anyone remember what things were like when greg was healthy? WHAT IS GONNA BE SO DIFFERENT 'NEXT YEAR" ?????????????????????????????????
Yay, we lost! KP sucks, Blazers management sucks, the coach sucks and the players suck. They will suck not just this year but forever. I have found Blazer fan nirvana. Go Blazers
No way around it, missing the post season would be a major failure for the Blazers. Good teams overcome injuries and don't use them as excuses. Dumbass.
You seem to change your opinion on things pretty quickly. Let me give you some advice. Stop watching the Blazers..Also. You really need to learn how to spell players names buddy. DA-LEM-BERT....I know you love the attention of people calling you an idiot constantly but it's really getting old.
I will say this about KP I am not sure he is the God that some make him out to be, but I do think he is a good judge of talent.
Without Pritchard working his magic this team wouldn't have Roy, and they wouldn't have the depth that has enabled them to get through of all these injuries. How about that Juwan Howard signing? Pritchard has done a fantastic job.
lol... and there is the problem... cause he drafted roy.. hes a hero. what else has he done? except make the wrong choice with oden, not balance the roster, sign a pg who didnt fit, not able to make major trades, waste rlec.
Nik, one word comes to mind when I see you post things like this after conversing with MIXUM.... INTERVENTION!
He didn't draft Roy, he traded Foye for Roy. He turned Tyrus Thomas into Lamarcus Aldridge. He bought Rudy from the Suns for cheap. He stole Nic Batum from Houston. He turned Jarret Jack into Jarryd Bayless. You are incredibly short sighted and irritating.
I laughed at he hasn't balanced the roster part, but Mixum is such an obvious troll these days he isn't worth the time.
The one that I love is the "mistake" of drafting Oden instead of Durant. I find this one, even though it's not just MIXUM who espouses it, to be monumentally stupid. Oden had no knee issues on draft day so Pritchard had no reason to think that Greg would suffer these two injuries. No GM in the league would have picked Durant over Oden in that draft, yet because he's had these injuries, KP made a "mistake" in MIXUM's mind. Durant could blow out his knee to Livingston levels in the next game he plays and never play again. Would that then make KP smart for picking Oden instead, or stupid for not having picked the third best player of that draft? DUMB!
I'm going to express some disappointment in you Mixum. Last night you had three threads started and they were all lined up together at late night, as if you had made each one right after the other. I kept waiting for the fourth, but it never came. I arrive this afternoon to see it, and I must say your failure to deliver a fourth new thread in a row when it was expected has to be considered a project failure.
Was there really a need to start ANOTHER new thread about this? Mods, Can we merge this with the many, many other threads Mixim has started saying exactly the same thing?
