He went on to say: "because he's clearly the best center in the league. Don't listen to that KingSpeed guy. He should learn the game, then post."
I "hope" he can improve quickly, however I did not see that ability at all this year, yes he ie very young and raw so some patience is required
Yes. Yes we do. All the wanting to get better doesn't amount to shit if he doesn't have a good teacher. How in the hell anyone might think Skippito the AV guy is the big man coach or defensive coach Meyers Leonard needs is completely beyond me.
On the contrary, I thought he showed marked improvement on defense. He went from completely clueless and lost to only mostly clueless and lost, lol... Seriously, though, I really like his willingness to bang. He may not know how to play defense very well, but at least he plays it pretty hard most of the time...
Claver: My first period NBA is finished. I satisfy of having passed pass in my career and in my life. It is not an end, alone the beginning
I mean we pay for a lotta stuff, like the 5 mil practice facility upgrade and buying the Dleauge team, now how bout investing in a big man coach for Meyers from a guy who got it done and was a very good player.
hmmm, his "willingness" to bang? All I saw was him getting constantly banged on and pushed easily out of position all the time.
Candace Buckner @blazerbanter 20s As you know, the #Blazer interior defense was a problem all yr, and the interior guy (Hickson) says don't blame one person... Candace Buckner @blazerbanter 6s "It was never anything individual with one person on our team. Our defense is a team thing and should be kept at a team thing." - Hickson
Often times, the best players are not the best coaches, so just bringing in someone who"got it done" wouldn't necessarily make a difference. I mean, Maurice Lucas was here for a while, and what did he add to LMA? LMA seemed to improve a lot more after he left. Also, I would expect to see more growth from year one to two than between year one. There isn't tons of practice time during a season, to really get a ton of individual focus he'd need. Having an entire summer/offseason to work with one o four coaches should be a big help.
Unfortunately I agree. I hope he signs with a shitty team because i would hate seeing him hitting big shots in the playoffs. He is not a guy who can create his own shot, but playing with really good teammates, he will make teams pay for leaving him alone. There is no doubt in my mind he will help spread the floor for some good team. If I were him I would choose the next team very wisely.
Candace Buckner @blazerbanter 31s So far @Dame_Lillard holds the honor as longest post-season media session (13 mins). And Jeffries has the shortest: 0 mins. Didn't come out.
Jeffries didn't help us much but he is usually a stand up guy. I think we should have found some minutes for him last night in his (seemingly) last game with us.
I wasn't aware, and maybe I read this wrong, but it's up to him whether he comes bacl or not. I thought it was our option?
Stotts did a masterful job tanking that game despite the performances from LaMarcus and Lillard. Bringing in Jeffries might have been a little too obvious for the fans who paid to watch the game.
Candace Buckner @blazerbanter 3m Victor Claver comes out with a shirt that reads: Sex, Dunks & Finger Rolls. Sheepishly tries to cover it up, explains "It's Nike." My new favorite Blazer LOL
Trail Blazers @pdxtrailblazers 3m . @Victor_Claver is taking questions from media on http://www.trailblazers.tv . Afte that, Terry Stotts and Neil Olshey will answer questions.
