    Bruh, we've said this over and over again.....he's NOT READY. The guy is built like a twig, and he's awkward in the paint.

    He'll get there....but he seriously needs to bulk up and work on his pace first. Putting him out there right now in anything but garbage time is ridiculous.

    We should have gone 5-0 on this road trip.

    My feeling is let the season play out and make a decision on this when it's time to make it.

    But for one bad quarter we might have; we played Philly even after the first, before we cleared our bench.

    My 82-0 prediction was already destroyed so it's really not all that important any longer.

    Still possible if the NBA would only factor in style points.

    My guess is because he is the 3rd string center and we only needed 2 in each game. A ten man rotation is about as many as you want.

    Yep. I agree. Meyers is a little expensive. But he will get his time when the team needs a backup.

    I take that back, we should have gone 6-0.

    I blame @HCP.

    Honestly I think it has to due with the people infront of him rather than Nards himself.
    As even in the Philly game the 2 minutes he got he did good things on the court.
    I'm one of the biggest Nards haters as I don't think he belongs on an NBA team. But even I can see outside of the first time he got in with Layman and pat. Nards has shown he is at least not looking like drift wood.

    Just for fun, I calculated the dollars per minute the Blazers are paying each player. With players like Dame and CJ getting the max, I assumed they'd be at the top of the list. Meyers couldn't be 'that' over paid.....

    Well, yes. Meyers is 'that' over paid. Wow.

    The best 'value' is no surprise - Connaughton, followed closely by Nurk.
