Perhaps, Wesley Matthews Will Become The Next Steve Blake..

In other words, the guy Nate will end up feeling more comfortable playing alongside Roy...............at the expense of Miller's PT.

Could just happen, you know.

Poor Andre'. He just never seems to find that lasting niche'........with any team. *shrug*

 

Wes Matthews = Brian Grant of Swingmen.

 

In a perfect world we'd run:

Roy, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Oden

As our starting lineup with Nic guarding point guards with Roy or Matthews going between the 2/3. That would be a big team that can defend multiple positions. Of course, this would require Oden to be healthy and Roy to be the main facilitator. Wesley has shown enough point guard abilities (albeit short time) to split the duties with Brandon if needed.

I wonder if we could get a nice young big for 'Dre.

 

That's pretty much exactly what we were saying in one of the many Roy threads. I like that lineup. If Roy wants the ball in his hands, make him the point guard.

 

We can still have RAMBO!

 

My god it still works... GENIUS! Send this to Nate now!

 

Matthews isn't performing as well as Rudy, our best player.

^ what does all that shit even mean?

 

Who would you rather have checking the opposing team's counterpart, though?

That's what I thought.

 

If you can't read a chart with only 3 columns, it means that Rudy, not Wes, should be the talk of the town!

 

Huh??

 

And to think that someone asked HCP why he doesn't try to get promoted!

 

*Deleted*

 

Clearly we need to cut Batum immediately and start Babbit. Thanks for the relevant and insightful stats.

 

So he's hitting a lot of threes? Whoopdee-damn-doo. What will he fall back on when that eventually dries up again? Defense? His ability to shoot off the dribble? Good luck with that.

 

Oh yeah? Well if Camby or Aldridge or Cunningham or Pendergraph were hitting all those 3s, you'd be talking about it.

Alright then!! Proved ya wrong!!

 

crandc PM'd me last evening and wanted to know if you were single/available? I wasn't quite sure what to tell her. I was in complete and utter shock.

 

I think you're just asking for yourself!

Speaking of putting up with bitches, yesterday I was awake 33 hours yesterday taking my ex-wife to surgery, back to her home, and not leaving till the 19 year old came home from work because she's so woozy she's supposed to have someone with her the first 24 hours.

This, the asshole who wouldn't give me a drive to get my car 4 years ago when my other one was broken, so I had to take a bus and ride a bike for miles.

This, the bitch who took the Earned Income Credit when I was supposed to have it in the divorce agreement. I just put out another thousand bucks a week ago over this.

This, the psycho who constantly yelled "bum" at me when I was employed and she wasn't.

This...oh yeah, the thread's about basketball. I am such a sucker nice guy taking care of people. I could write a book about assholes who hate caring people who help them. Okay, so how bout dem Blazers?

P.S. I spent a few minutes making that chart and just thought it was interesting. In case you haven't noticed, I've never started a thread, so sometimes I insert info into a random thread. This seemed the closest fit since Rudy surprisingly led the list.

So what did I get for all my work??? Same old thing!!!!!!!

 

Holy Crap!

That's quite the vent. I really need to employ a bit more empathy.

 

Yeah, someday you'll be divorced too!!

(joke...from what I've read, you've been taken advantage of, too.)

I got 13 hours sleep this morning to cover the last 2 days worth, so I'm kind of half here, feeling weird. Anyway, I think the list is interesting. Batum's not the worst--I just quit looking after the top 11.
