    This is terrific work. And a great way to show CJ's usefulness. Unfortunately, we live in a time when everyone values PER more than ppg.

    Everyone is welcome to their opnions. If you don't like certain peoples opinions don't read their posts. Put them on ignore.

    If you feel you are being tagged and being unfairly called out and instigated let a mod know. It will be looked into.

    There are a lot of passionate fans here who get upset when the Blazers continously underperform. Yeah the Blazers are 26-19. They should have a better record than that. Looking back there is up to 10 games they could have won, but didn't. People are upset about it. And, that is ok. The Blazers have little chance to win a championship, and their play continues to be mediocre. It can be incredibly stressfull at times to be a fan.

    @SlyPokerDog just put together a Skybox game earlier this season. We have had interviews with Harry Glickman and a live one with Kerry Eggers. We were doing one with Larry Weinberg before he passed. I am sure there will be more things to come before the season is over. Those oppurtunities have not been absent.

    It's funny. The team the Blazers always get compared to onlne is the Wizards.

    "Someone" (wasn't me) literally put Bones' flip flops in the fridge at the sky box game.

    There is no such thing as "getting hot". This "notion" has been statistically disproved many times.

    But by all means, continue using a made up term as a reason to bash the coaching.

    Some things defy statistical analysis. If you've ever experienced "the zone", you know it exists. If not, it's easy to disavow.

    Seriously, i've only had it a few times in my life, but i was hitting everything in pickup. From 25 feet, fading away, absolutely horrible shots that i wouldn't dream of even taking any other day, but when you're on, the basket is literally ten feet wide.

    well, I disagree. PPG doesn't account for efficiency, only opportunity. If a player is scoring 22 points a game on 24 FGA's. he's not a good player....more precisely, he's not contributing to wins

    that list is so incomplete it's essentially useless

    People on this forum will not be satisfied until our #2 option would be a top5 player.
    A SG who has off nights shooting around 2/12 is an alien lifeform, it seems.

    Agreed. Not going to hate on him if he wants to get rings cause he’s got enough money. But he is loyal to pdx and I like that about the guy

    Sly, I'm not really sure where to put this but it kind of applies to this conversation. How come the Blazers never mention the official forum on twitter or during a game or anything like that?

    No. There is no such thing as "the zone". If it exists, it should be easy to show supporting data. I'd love to see it

    People claim to see patterns that aren't there. This is a perfect example of that. (Research Paper)

    And if you repeatedly flip a coin, at some point you'll get many heads in a row. Do you have a "hot hand" for coin flipping?

    Jake adds an element that seems to be optional for most of the team, energy. Will he score 40 prolly not but he changes the game with energy and momentum and when he puts up 15 points it’s hard to overlook.

    Admittedly I was pushing for Jackson before the draft, and was pretty much shot down. And quite frankly they may have been right. At the moment I am not convinced that Jackson is better than Jake. I think I would rather have Collins and Jake then Giles and Jackson.
