no doubt. I understand frustration on not winning, but it's a team game. Why did Phoenix double him most every time he touched the ball if he totally sucks? If everyone is healthy on the Blazers he's the 3rd option. Options 1 & 2 are severely limited and out and he's this year's goat for not being better? Classic form for this site it would be great if he'd still come through with his game despite facing regular double teams, but he would have been playing over his head if he had. Personally I'm pissed off Greg and Brandon for getting injured... who do they think they are, human beings? STOMP
How about Man. Because that what he is compared to some of you couch geeks who somehow feel better when they belittle some of the greatest athletes in the world with childish little nick names. Either come up with a name that you can call him to his face or go back to your mothers basement and pretend you once knew how to play ball other than one of your computer games.
You can easily stop that -- just stand in the painted area and he wont go near you, or anywhere within 5' of the hoop.
True. There are many types of humor. I guess High School is too much of a distant memory for me to think stupid nick names is funny. IMHO...... it is just plain boorish.
I've always liked "LaMarshmallow" the best as a funny nickname, although I don't call him that. I think LaMarcus is a damn fine player and the Blazers are lucky to have him. Who else would we be better off with from that draft? I agree he needs to get a stronger post game, but put the right players around him and he is gold.
I tend to agree with most of what you wrote. I do have one minor quibble, I think if you surround him with the right players he's probably bronze, maybe silver at best.
In the old days, someone would have proposed Lavender or Lady, but I'm not going there so I won't mention it. Similarly, Lardbutt and LampshadeWouldBeMoreUseful are beneath me. How about something dignified that I would say to his face, like LawOfDiminishingReturns?
