F' EVAN TURNER

I don’t give a fuck about his voice. He needs to stop shooting 3’s and stop turning it over.

 

I'm confused where this comes from. I'm simply saying that we shouldn't make fun of disabilities.

What relevance would his Instagram have to that?

 

ET looked more like the ET we need the other night. I really feel he was hurting physically, because he missed so many lowpost looks the last few weeks.. Those are his bread and butter. If he's hitting those shot down low, he's an incredible asset. Like D, I just don't have any problems with him. He seems pretty cool, and a good teammate. Go ET, and Go Blazers!!

 

There are times when the kids are at the line in the game and the gym is kinda quiet. If he swishes, touching no rim, I'll say, "SWAP!"

and smile at the shooter. He always smiles back and I tell him:

"Do it again. That's my favorite sound."

 

Nicely done.

 

oh c'mon now...Turner has never been and will never be an "incredible asset"

as for his low post. maybe there's something going on but I doubt it's an injury

his FG% in the 3'-10' zone:

2014-15 .309 2015-16 .418 2016-17 .536 2017-18 .443 2018-19 .302

he is way down from his high but he has been this bad before. I'd be willing to consider he's hurt or something if it wasn't for this:

FG% in the 10'-16' zone:

2014-15 .449 2015-16 .427 2016-17 .421 2017-18 .451 2018-19 .492

he's shooting a career high in this zone and I really doubt there's an injury explanation. He's just bricking those shorter shots, IMO

 

10.8 PER- Among rotation players, only Curry’s is worse.

.46 WS/48- Worst among rotation players.

-2.9 OBPM- Worst among rotation players.

0.6 DBPM- 5th among rotation players.

-0.1 VORP- Worst among rotation players.

Unfortunately for the Blazers, he’s also one of the only three playmakers on the team, and the only one on the second unit, so his rotation spot is probably still safe. The roster is full, and it’s too late to upgrade or integrate a rookie, but if Turner is still in the rotation next season, we’ve got problems.

 

I think ET will be a key player in the playoffs. His on ball D is good and he can get the players that can score the ball.
Without many vocal guys on the team, ET does bring some leadership too.
Remember Team - TOgether EVeryone ACcomplishes MOre.

 

TOEVACMO?

 

I forgot to reply to this I guess. The story is about how he got bullied growing up, but now that he's an NBA player I've seen him some nasty, bullyish things.

 

code for TeAm...lol

 

FTFY

 

No one is below Felton although Jamal Crawford comes close.

 

Is that in the covfefe language?

 

I think Neil and Paul panicked and felt they had to sign someone. Not a prudent move.​

 

To all Turner defenders, I concede, he is a good college player.

 

What sport?

 

Brick laying

 

You might want to concede that he will be here the rest of the season and possibly next year as well. It won't change by complaining either. Maybe it might be better to root him on so that it helps the Blazers.

 

You obviously didn;t follow his career.


Turner was a first-team 2010 NCAA Men's Basketball All-American and the 2010 National Player of the Year while playing at Ohio State University. Turner was also a two-time Big Ten Conferencescoring champion and the 2010 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year. He was twice the only player named as a unanimous first-team selection by both the coaches and the media to the All-Big Ten team (2008–09, 2009–10). By finishing first in scoring and second in both rebounds and assists in the conference in the 2009–10 season, he was the first men's basketball player to finish in the top two in each of these categories and the first to finish in the top five in each category in the same season. He is the conference record-holder for most career and single-season record for Conference Player of the Week awards.
