BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - GAME THREAD - 11/01/2013, FRIDAY, 6PM - CSN

Kingspeed is bi-polar. I like his enthusiasm when we are winning, I remember that unexpected 13 game win streak we had everyone on the boards was going nuts it was great times. I just kind of skip over some of the negative posts, we all have our doubts at times.

 

He's actually clinically bi-polar. That's why I never use that word describing him. He's a great fan, but sometimes I must tell myself about his illness when he goes all out in threads.

Love you kingspeed!

 

Watching the game at home and I think Faried looks a lot like Gerald Wallace. High energy, flopping all over the floor and bricking the outside shot

 

No way dude. Gerald Wallace was amazing when he was younger. Faried doesn't have a fraction of Wallace's ability.

 

Didn't say he "was" Wallace. I said he looks a lot like Wallace. Meaning, flopping all over the floor, high energy and no outside shot

 

The one thing in Faried's favor in comparison to Wallace is he likes to guard bigger players, but can guard SF's as well. (About an inch taller and 10 lbs heavier than Wallace) Denver can play him with someone like Gallinari.

Wallace is pretty much a SF who bricks from the outside.

 

Wallace might not have been a great outside shooter, but he definitely had a much better overall offensive game. Faried can't do anything but dunk.

 

Maybe I should have been more clear. If there was ever a choice of a prime Wallace or prime Faried, I'd pick Wallace a million times.

But Faried plays like Wallace, IMO. It's just my observation.

 

In terms of high energy, yes, but Faried would have to add so many facets to his game to eventually be like a Wallace. He doesn't strike me as a very good passer, while Wallace actually had pretty high assist numbers when he was in Charlotte.

 

Dude, Wallace was way better than Faried ever will be.

 

I saw what Mags was saying.

Chill out.

 

And???? What does that have anything to do with what I said?

 

You said Faried looked a lot like Wallace, and you listed a lot of Gerald's flaws, but Wallace did a lot of amazing things that Faried currently does not do. I think there are other high energy players that Faried would more clearly resemble.

 

Nah I will stick with my comparison. Faried goes 160mph and has total disregard for his body. I bet if you even asked Faried, he would say Wallace was his hero. Never did I say Faried was as good as Wallace.

This would be like comparing aldridge's high release shot to sheed. Or comparing lillard's slashing to Rose.

 

Yeah he is a cool fan and nobody can doubt his dedication to the team. Sang the national anthem and traveled around getting front row seats for all those road games. Maybe at times he over does the negatives or positives but that is a much more balanced view than many posters here; those who either have only rose colored glasses or those who only bring up negatives.
