    ET and Aminu have been the most disappointing players on the roster for me this year.
    Which says something because this roster has Meyers Leonard on it...

    Aminu?...

    Aminu's having the best year of his career.

    Best offensive season for sure.

    Still good defensively, but I do think he's taken a slight step back on that end.

    Great observation from Dan Sheldon this morning: "Last night we saw Shaquille and Anfernee on the court together for the first time since Penny retired."

    Really nothing to take away from that game. Holy hell, Bulls need to refund their fans as Mike Rice was saying.

    I don't think that is realistic. I don't know if it will be too late to trade CJ this summer? Should have been done at the trade deadline so that guys like Curry knew they had a place on this team.

    I don't get why people are ripping on ET? He had 8 assists last night.

    I commented during the game, but it's alarming how slow and out of shape he looks. His reduction in minutes has directly resulted in him getting fat. He doesn't even shoot midrange or post jumpers anymore. How does someone GAIN weight during the season?

    It is a low release but it is so quick, he gets it off even with defenders in his area.

    What it tells me is that his off season weight loss wasn't the healthy and sustainable kind. I know several people who lose weight quickly for one reason or another (like a biggest loser contest or for a vacation/wedding, etc.) and they look great for a month or two but the weight always comes back and it's usually worse than before they lost the weight.

    Exactly. Like he's not fully extended into the shot and off it goes.

    Or he's just not a hard worker and let his benching/injury be an excuse for him to let himself go. I can't wait til this guy is off the team.

    Offensively sure, but the guy is in the league because of his defensively versatility.
    In previous seasons I could count on one hand how often he got beat defensively or let his man sneak behind him and receive a drop off pass.
    This year it's happening every game almost.
    I've actually started to complain about it in game threads and called for him to lose minutes to Collins.
    Simply because Aminu is far better than he's played on that end this year. IDK what the stats say and prolly don't back this up due to his offensive production.

    After hating the signing of Aminu I came to respect his game and believe he was Portland's best defender. As in previous years he was.
    This year he's not even close to that.
