I think I could go for the "1 shot and the ball" rule. This would definitely tilt the advantage to the non-fouling team, but still penalize players...
Maximum what? Eggs, rotten fruit, D batteries?
Lowry is a pretty good defender in my estimation - very physical, Derozan . . . I don't know, maybe he's better now (at the very least he length and...
I don't think Stotts is a great defensive mind, but really this is more about Jimmies and Joes, not Xs and Os; Damian and McCollum are below average...
What's your point exactly? The best you can assert is that they are the exception to the rule. Do you really think that model is replicable or the...
Say what?! And even if that were true, it isn't enough to compete for a title.
Which is why I advocated tanking all along, but since it appears the Blazers can't even do that right, we're left with less savory options.
I'm always critical and I do my best not to sugarcoat what I say. If you don't like it, put me on ignore. As for "valuable free agents" What I'm...
With respect to @riverman's comment about the blazers being a desirable landing spot for free agents, what does it say about my attitude? Please...
The Blazers are likely to finish with a sub .500 record. Really think about that for a minute.
And what does that have to do with the Blazers gaining leverage over elite free agents?
A buyers' market is one in which there are few buyers and many sellers. In this instance the "sellers" are the players offering their services. So...
And we drafted him. Convincing an elite guy to come here this summer when there are 25 other teams flush with cap-room doesn't seem like such a good...
I haven't watched a lot of college basketball, but it seems as though there are always 3-5 guys every year that turn into a really good/great player....
Ah, I see the problem. I don't think most elite players view the NBA quite like this. Certainly they want a chance to compete for a title and nobody...
Bingo!
I want to be perfectly clear. I think this team is on a path of respectability - a plug and play team that can get you 45 wins a year in a couple of...
You're probably right, but the game theorist in me, would have been much happier with a 10% chance at a top 3 pick, versus a 99% chance of playing...
which underscores something I felt when Neil brought in guys like Henderson, Aminu, Davis, et al. If you're going to "fuck up properly" then it's...
I think the Blazers will probably win about 6-7 games more than I predicted. Which is probably close to within one standard deviation. is that really...
Separate names with a comma.
