    I guess so. But instead of Mase we could have had 4 years of a lock down defender in RHJ.

    I'm calling for Stotts job if we lose this game and he doesn't put Vonleh back in... He should have put Vonleh on Okafor the other night, but today it's obvious. Somebody get the coach a stat sheet...

    Mason Plumlee has recorded a new career-high seven assists (6, 4 times).

    You could be right but then he's a year and a half from physical peak and in his case...those aren't Kobe Bryant years...he's low mileage starting in the NBA

    No doubt. I was so excited when we drafted him, and so...uncertain when we traded him. I had hoped for a lot more offensively from Plumlee, but I think we're definitely at a WYSIWYG point with him.

    Maybe Meyers can help Mase bulk up in the offseason. :dunno:

    TBH, I don't think Plumlee has THAT great of a BBIQ. Average at best. Probably more consistent than Meyers, but he's not exactly Shane Battier out there.

    That was the best perimeter defense Meyers has played in his entire life LOL.

    Shooting coach may be the ticket for him..has worked for some players...Robin Lopez improved his jumper and chip shot long after Phoenix

    As far as BBIQ is concerned, I guess comparatively to the rest of the team Mason looks like Kobe out there.

    16/4 in 15 minutes is pretty good from Meyers

    Now, PLEASE trade Meyers while people think he is actually good.

    Maybe he is learning. If not at least his 16 points will help his trade value

    What you see is what you get?

    Yeah, I agree with you there. I'm not mad at the trade. I still like Mase, just a bit disappointed because I like RHJ a little better. And the contract situation too no doubt.

    Here's to hoping Planet Pat can tip the trade to our favor!

    What a very strange first three quarters:
    POR 32 27 35
    WAS 17 40 19

    Blazers were semi-consistent, but the Wizards were just a completely different team in the 2nd.
