|0fficial|Meyers The Terrible

If you're gonna rock that hair you better grow out ya beard or ya mustache no exceptions.

 

As I've said since Summer League after his first year, he is afraid of contact. He also use to stand still saying "Duh" all game, as if his contact lenses hurt when he rotated his eyeballs, so he didn't see his man 4 feet away. This year he is much more active, but accomplishes nothing with the activity. Gotta give him that much--he runs his circles faster now. I say give him another 5 years. As his fans say, white centers develop more slowly than guards.

 

Lolol the scary thing is I think he was tougher as a rookie than he is now. He didn't know any better back then. Look at his college tape. That's the Leonard we all want him to be. Dude is so broke mentally he has to convince himself every morning in a journal that everything will be ok.

 

If we can get ANYONE to take him at the deadline, I say do it.

 

Until last season, when he was under the basket and an opponent drove on the basket, he used to close his eyes, turn his back, bend over a little, and present his ass, which I think was to protect his crotch.

Seriously. I used to notice it and post it, and this board's non-eagle eyes thought I was making it up. So I developed the contact lens theory for why he folded whenever he had to deal with anyone within 5 feet. He stopped doing it last season. Now this year he has improved his activity level, but to no avail. He is improving and just needs another 5 years.

 

About a month into his rookie eason, I was the first one here to post that he is a good shooter. I brought it to everyone's attention. Kind of proud of that. You guys would have discovered it, but months later, since he stopped getting minutes soon after I first posted it.

Remember early in his rookie year, when Lillard would pass a wild alley-oop to him anywhere within 10 feet of the hoop, he would make a great catch, recover in the air, and get 2 points? Then he sat all season. Then he came out like mental jelly in his first Summer League game, joshing around, smiling, and swinging his arms for fun like it was an elementary school playground. Then after our criticism here, he got some minimum ambition, but no skill, the rest of SL. A year earlier, he had tried much harder in the SL before his rookie year, when he was out of shape and red-faced from being winded. He looked the same all of his rookie year.

 

1-7 from 3. The only reason he is in the NBA is because of his shot. He's shooting 33% from 3 and 37% overall. Pathetic.

 

Poor Meyers. I'm not a fan of his game, but it's not his fault he's not very good and overpaid -- probably a mix of bad wiring and bad coaching at various stops along the way.

You know who I'm unhappy with? Olshey. Bidding against himself and wish-casting on a guy who's rarely shown any hint that he can be a reliable "workhorse."

 

i think ive said all about this total clusterfuck of a player that i really can.

i cannot believe we re-signed him.

Exactly, Olshey had such a crappy offseason! What was he thinking?

 

???

 

What sucks about Meyers is you really want to root for him.

• Dad died.
• Grew up DIRT poor.
• Mom was sick and in pain all the time.
• Brother is a VET. That tearful reunion made me tear up.
• All the physical attributes and athleticism anyone could dream of.

JUST. A. GOOD. KID.

Too bad he sucks....

 

Barton was the one who grew up dirt poor, with the teenagers sharing a bed. I assume the Leonard mother and 2 sons were on welfare, but not itinerant. With no Obamacare yet, she couldn't afford a back operation. I read that they lived in a house across the street from a car dealership. I can't find a source describing just how poor they were, so I assume they were regular poor in a subsidized house with utilities paid, not dirt (e.g. Appalachian) poor.

 

Well it's all relative. They were poor. Not middle class. They were American poor.

 

I was counting on Meyers to really break-out this year. He played some great basketball before the injury.
I still think he's one of the keys for our season. If he plays like he did before the injury and keeps working on his defense I still have hope for him

 

Well, at least he's not dirt poor anymore.

 

Why didn't Neil Olshey give him 20 million..."because we're out of cap space anyway"

 

What if we've been doing it for his entire career?

People make more excuses for this guy than Jake Blues had for Carrie Fisher in The Blues Brothers.

 

There's always going to be someone who has it worse than the last person.
