Anyone wanna address the elephant in the room??

I just want to say how much I enjoy your posts brother. In on my cellphone, so I can't rep you, but you've earned so many reps with your detailed "in your face" posts knocking the haters on their asses.

I agree the philosophy is to shut down the 3. It is so demoralizing that you are scoring in the paint, only giving up threes on the other end. We have become masters so far this season.

 

You know I wondered about this subconsciously and you just made me realize that. Great, great job and analysis. Repped as usual. Is there an insta-rep or perma-rep button????

 

And another side note about the three point shooting. We have in fact put together a deadly 3 point team. Another advantage of this strategy is that we just need a few of our many 3 point weapons hitting to make this work. But the flip side is that if everyone is hitting we are basically unstoppable and can beat ANYBODY.

Yes, there is the live by the three, die by the three philosophy but when you have your team set up like this its a lot harder to die by three and even easier to live by the three. And then when you compound that with taking away that same weapon from the opposing team it makes your three point makes even more impactful.

Kinda brilliant if you have the right players to keep it up.

 

U guys are funny. U ban someone and then ask them to come back. If u want mixum back then he/she should come back as mixum.

My name isn't mixum. It's carlito.

 

This reminds me of the participants in the first ever hot fever death dance marathon where the contestants were literally on their last legs when they all simultaneously died in unison.

That is exactly how tiring THIS song and dance is as well

 

Well at least we know the true elephant is the one that won't be happy ever. The elephant that wants to smash anything positive to feed his ever so large appetite for attention. It's a little pathetic, but every platform has them. There always needs to be that bacteria to feed off of shit that no one will eat.

 

I'm glad that they're defending the three point line well, but if giving up this many points in the paint is by design, then that's a poor design choice. If we're being honest, the design is probably meant to contest the three and close off the inside, forcing 18-15 foot jumpers (i.e. "the least efficient shot in basketball") but they haven't found a way to execute that part of the plan consistently yet. It might be due in part to not having the right personnel, but familiarity with the scheme and the quality of the coaching on how to execute probably play a role too.

Just like I think it's too early to read too much into their hot start, it's also too early to hit the panic button on the spotty defensive performances we've seen so far.

If the interior defense is still this porous in two months Bromixolito, I'd probably just plan on killing myself if I were you.

 

great post and thx - repped!

 

For all posters here who say I'm negative look at the power rankings and look where the teams we beat rank. Someone do an average or strength of sched. I can tell u kings, pistons, raptors, celts all are bottom 22

We are the Kansas City chiefs of nba so far!

 

besides the 8-2 record this team is very enjoyable to watch, yeah we have issues but I prefer what we have seen so far to a 2-8 record with us allowing a lot fewer points in the paint

 

Your name is Rudy.

 

No disrespect to PapaG, but that took many moons of him being called out before he admitted it (this conversation always leads to one question... where IS Ben Davis?).

 

Jail?

 

Who cares if he is carlito or mixum. He comes in here to try and push Blazer fanatic buttons by trying to bring in a does of "reality." Thing i,s this board and the posters are too good for that . . . doesn't sound like he is getting under anybody's skin these days.

Now if the Blazers start losing, that is when we have dig deep and not let this joker get to us. Should be easy enough considering we know what he is doing.
