    In Cleveland, he was swishing them easily from the corner before the game. No one will guard him out there. He can get us some easy points. Also, he was money on his hook shots. I think he'll be pumped to be back and will make a big difference. He's our healthiest player!

    I really hope he doesn't. That would be idiotic, IMO. No one would get rebounds. LMA gets his because of Lopez' awesome boxing out.

    Yes, he is not only going to start taking 3's but he will be our best 3point shooter for the rest of the season.

    Shooting from distance was probably a strengthening exercise, no?

    why not, our bigs (LMA/Meyers) seem to shoot 3's at a much higher percentage than our guards/wings!

    We're talking 1-2 possessions out of the entire game. And if he makes them, there is no rebound. If he misses, Aldridge has shown he can grab 10 rebounds a game without Lopez around the last several weeks.

    Not a fan of it for the mere reason we already have 4 people who play with him who can shoot out there. But, it is stotts, so I expect it to happen because it's really the only offense he seems to know.

    This strengthening exercise could turn into a mistake if they aren't careful.

    A 7ft point guard would easily win MVP.

    Just sayin'

    But wouldn't that be Meyers job? Slide Rolo to the 2 guard at least and we all know Barton can play the 5

    Only Nate McMillan and Marazul want the Blazers to have a white point guard.
