    He just blocked Len's 3pt attempt...we don't block a lot of those

    But Turner turned the ball over right away and doesn't get Crabbe involved. Playing Napier instead of Turner would be way better.

    Which is why I'm done waiting on his potential. I'll still cheer him on of course, I just no longer view him as a potential "good" player. He just is what he is at this point. A tall guy who plays basketball because he's tall and can walk, talk, and chew bubble gum at the same time. He doesn't seem to really know what he's doing on the court and probably never will. Putting the ball in the hoop is all he knows of the sport.

    Honestly, we need to play the bench like McMillan would. Slow shit down, tighten up the D.

    Almost blasphemous to suggest, I know.

    I think I can live with Turner if he can hit that pull up jumper consistently and cut down the stupid live ball turnovers. Maybe hit the open spot up 3 occasionally.

    Sometimes. But for every pass he makes that gives me hope he is seeing the floor and understanding the game better, he fucks up 4-5 times in embarrassing fashion.

    I can't take yours seriously. You clearly don't watch all the games.

    I agree. We might be better off letting CJ play Roy Iso ball with shooters on the wings and Davis crashing the board

    Isn't that literally what everyone complained about last season? And the entire reason we brought in someone like Turner?

    Layman would be a better center than Leonard.

    I'd be fine with Turner having some ISO from the top, he can get inside like Roy.

    Meyers is making a difference. Setting great picks, providing spacing.

    Stotts is coaching like he's been betting against the Blazers this season.

    I don't remember those complaints. I think most fans were just happy we didn't suck.

    We just look like a veteran team out there right now. Crazy that we're the second youngest team haha
