Am I crazy for thinking his #'s will drop significantly with our recent addition and return of Brandon and Marcus.
^But that's what it used to be. We were winning 50+ games and tons of people on here were KILLING LA for ONLY averaging 18/8! Killing him!
I don't think Wallace is going to take a lot of touches from LA, but with Roy there is probably going to be more balanced scoring. I hope Nate continues to work the ball through LA though. He has been a very good passer the last month. They need to run cutters more in the lane when LA is on the block.
People were killing Roy for averaging 23/5/5 on a 54-win team. Do you really take anything you read here from any "expert" seriously, HCP? It's all about shits and grins, IMO.
people like me were killin' LMA for getting 18/8 by sitting at the 18' mark and bombing away. Don't confuse the issue
I'm not confusing the issue. I recall you also bashing Roy, though. Most people are bashers, and we all pick our players to bash . That's part of what makes this place fun, IMO.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I still hate some of Roy's comments, including that garbage tonight. Travis is still at the top of my list, though.
as long as the numbers he continues to get come from getting high quality touches inside and the drop has more to do with his minutes finally being reduced some, then bring it on.
I've always been critical of games where Miller has more shots than anybody else on the team. Andre had 17 shots tonight and only 4 assists. I think he bogged down the offense, but perhaps he needed to because nobody else could hit a shot. Anyhow, things got stagnant for stretches because of Miller playing the ISO post game.
Obviously not, he was nowhere to be found tonight. The defense was good, but he was lost out there not playing 50 mins. And it doesn't help when his teammates can't find him, the ball movement was Stagnant.
LA's #'s are slipping and as I posted before this is very dangerous for the Blazers! He has to be the go to guy now and our other players need to be cutting when the double comes to him. If LA becomes LA DAISY again we are in trouble make no mistake about it! MAN up LA be mentally strong!!!! THIS IS YOUR TEAM!!!!!!!
So basically about 40 pts/20+ rebs are returning or joining our lineup that wasn't there pre all star break. How could LAs #'s NOT go down. As long as the offense is flowing, I'm happy.
Um.... Last week LA was an unstoppable force and we were winning and player of the month talk was being thrown around! The last two games he's been roaming, looking lost, and not commited to the low post and his #'s have gone down by almost 16... If that's what bringing back Roy and Camby has done I'm not sure that's a great thing!
