    meyers will be a great shot blocker when experience comes. ben wallace didn't becomes elite shot blocker until his 4th season. well meyers is heading into his 4th season.

    I see Dame shooting 5, 6, 7 more shots a game due to having the lane be wide open. People will try to gaurd him but if he has a ton of room it's near impossible. You saw how it was when Gasol was checking Meyers in the playoffs. And if they come down to stuff the lane, it's an easy kick out

    hmm I thought that Meyers played great D on Gasol....with a Mathews less team we were a collective sieve. Slow rotations..lack of effort from the guards in general..shit passing..far to lax unforced turn overs..what did I miss?

    The end of this game Dame scores like 6 times in a row. When we ran 5-out he had SO MUCH room. It was literally a Dame layup or an open 3. If we ever run a Biebs-Vonleh frontcourt it could be really fun.

    oh I am sorry, I was not clear. The lacking slow rotatoins and lack of focus where on O as well as D

    Yeah I'm excited for our "need 3 pointers down by a lot in the 4th lets make a quick run" lineup;

    Meyers
    Vonleh
    Crabbe
    CJ
    Dame

    I suppose Pat or Hendo could fit in as well. Hendo shoots corner threes accurately so let him park there everyone else can shoot from up top. We have mostly new players this year who can't shoot worth beans but we can still put out a few lethal long ball lineups if needed.

    The part about Ben Wallace simply isn't true.

    Well maybe if Meyers grows his hair out like Bens, he'll defend like him to.

    And we got our ass kicked. I've seen 2 youtubes posted here and we got our ass kicked in both. How is that a good thing?
