Don't forget that we only have the MLE to work with, in terms of free-agency. The MLE isn't going to get a player who'll take you to the next level....
I am partially joking. But it's not like we're pounding away in the low-post on offense. And it's not like we're pounding anywhere on defense. We...
But how do professional athletes get worn down by playing 35-40 minutes of horse three to four times a week?
If for no other reason than hiring Mo Cheeks!
The way we're playing, I don't think it matters who we get matched up with - I think we'll have a hard time beating anybody in a 7-game series. I...
^^^Yes & no. It's a flawed team, but a good coach could make it work. Mo shouldn't get a pass just because Dumars put together a less-than-ideal...
I keep reading the title of the thread as "Blazers Revisionist History"...dyslexia for the win! (No, I don't have dyslexia.)
It's not passivity that's holding him back, it's his ball-handling. If he had a better handle he could be more aggressive in taking the ball to the...
Cuts both ways - he's not handling the ball as much, so he shouldn't have close to the same APG as they do either. We get it - you don't like Nic....
Yeah, he needs to play the 6th Man position. Much like Kevin Martin, he'll never be a starter on a good team but could be a very good 6th man.
Deng > Nic Nic > Deng Nic = Deng Stupid stupid stupid
You must close your eyes for all but two or three possessions of each game, and have a knack for ONLY opening them when Nic happens to turn the ball...
It's like the NBA decided last summer that he was who they wanted to focus some attention on, and they can't deviate from their script. Because...
NOBODY is acting like Nic is a great ball-hanlder. But to suggest that he's not a good passer is just stupid - he is far and away the best passer on...
This is actually very true. Our pick/roll defense is atrocious, but it's not Dame's fault - it's the coach's fault. The coach needs to have the big...
Zbo absolutely dominated once he was given minutes. Mo was far and away the worst Blazers coach I've ever witnessed. Simply awful.
Yup - take the money and use it to do something real. That's what Elon Musk did - he's actually doing world-changing things with the money he got...
Ahhhh, THAT'S why the board reads so much better lately! Big improvement!
CLE isn't going to get anyone nearly as good as Nic in exchange for Deng. At best they'd get someone like CJ plus a couple second-rounders.
