Blazers trade for Afflalo and Alonzo Gee

Cuz victor doesn't drink

 

Someone needs to give a photoshop seminar...

 

If he really wrote that himself, it might be difficult...

 

Have to agree. Also have to think that the bench IQ just doubled, I appreciate what TRob and Burton gave us, but they were both limited in the thinking end of the game

 

The great thing is as a backup Arron can leave it all on the court and not pace himself. I expect him to D-up and score aggressively and efficiently when he's out there. I pity the fools.

 

I'm a little surprised he's welcoming the pressure of a title run but maybe that energizes and focus' the team. Maybe they won't be glassy eyed deep in the playoffs if they expect to be there. Glad to hear AAA is excited about a backup role. Manu has had a hall of fame career as a backup. We made the WCF back in 1999 with our best player being a backup. Stotts helped coach a team to a championship recently with the #2 option being a backup. We've seen plenty of backups get 8 figure salaries.

Big game with his debut on Sunday. We play Memphis twice to finish the season and if we win those we'll be nearly even in the standings. Would be nice to get the #2 seed from them and have HCA for at least the first half of the playoffs.

 

For fun I looked up Afflalo's stats at the Moda

Poor guy has only won once here... That's about to change

 

Keep in mind he is not an instant offense type of player. Few players are though.

 

We don't run isolation instant offense sets so it should work well.

 

You can also flip that around. How many games has he played against second string players?

 

I agree I think it will work well. I just don't expect him to come off the bench firing away. That is not his mentality. (Unlike a Nate or Mo or Jamal or JJ Reddick)

 

Any news on the reception Will and Victor are getting in Denver?
