    This is the most bizarre use of electron positron annihilation I have seen.

    Not if the 2nd best 3 point shooter goes missing 3 in 5 games.

    I'm pretty sure I know exactly where that house is. Does it have a large steel ball that rotates in a water fall of sorts that flows in a way to keep the ball spinning? NW portland up the hill from the college right?
    If so I've loved that house for a long time. drive by it every day and used to walk by it every day when I lived a couple blocks down the hill.
    I thought an Asian family lived there. Maybe they sold it.
    The views from this house are.... yeah....
    Basically that parking area is on top of the house

    Crabbe would be what the Blazers needed....if he aggressively would try to get his shot. Instead, he sits back night after night and if he occasionally gets insanely hot, he'll take more shots. Most of the time he just hangs around, takes an occasional shot and does almost nothing else.

    I know it's completely different than shooting in game with a defender in your face, but this is the one missing ingredient that would make him worth his contract.

    I have been expecting this. Based on his comments in the past about not needing to take 3pt shots...I doubt he rarely practiced it. In his mind shooting 3's was not his game. But now after a full year in Terry Stotts offense, he knows he has to at least keep the defense honest. No doubt after a full offseason of working on it, his 3pt shooting will be better. How much better remains to be seen. But 33% would be ample based on everything else he provides. (assuming he doesn't take too many)

    You know, if Evan wants to hire me to defend him (or just stand in front of him while he shoots) I am free on Wednesdays...

    That said, his shot looks a LOT more fluid now. I hope it translates into regular season success.

    33 is precisely the number I had in mind for him as well. I'd be thrilled to see that from him.

    We need defenders....ET and Chief bring that to the team...I'm glad we have ET instead of Crabbe

    Sorry, but I can't get over the fact that he bought the most Toyota-looking Ferrari ever made. :auto:

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I dunno, JaVale McGee's shot looking wet in workouts too:



    Hope springs eternal, but in both cases, I'll believe it when I see it in regular season games. But I do like that he's working on it, which I assume was the thrust of your post.
