Game Thread GAME# 52: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - FEBRUARY 6, 2016 - SATURDAY, 2:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

I couldn't have said that better.

 

Ruck the Fockets!

 

Are they parts really excellent though? He's a one trick pony on offense, and it's comfortable shooting under pressure. And he's really more PF size than center.

 

He makes himself a one trick pony. He has that strange little floater /hook shot that he can hit in the paint quite reliably. But, he only uses it once every 7 games or so. We agree that he certainly isn't a great nba player though (and that is giving him credit). I do disagree about his size though. He definitely has center size. Some stats I could find for centers (I think these numbers were compiled a couple of years ago, but should still stand).

Average Height: 6’11.25″ Most Common Height: 6’11″ Shortest: 6’9″ (Bismack, Joel Anthony) Tallest: 7’2″ (Roy Hibbert Range: 5″ Average Weight:257lbs Most Common Weight Range: 250-255lbs Lightest: 232lbs (Joakim Noah) Heaviest: 290lbs (Pek)

Leonard is listed at 7'1" and 245.

 

His standing reach is only 9 '0 though, which is PF size.

 

You have me on that one.

 

I didn't get to watch it live but I'm watching the replay. Dame's post game interview is fantastic. So glad he's our team's leader.

 

Meyers should be putting up about 5-6 skyhooks per game, with his touch. No one's going to block that shit. Then pop out for a 3 every so often until he gets traded.

 

You are wrong. He needs to take 9 to 11 swish3 shots a game to get the blazers swish3 percentage up.


Just joking, by the way.

 

Probably the worst quality of all time, but it's the only evidence I could find in my 30 second search for Meyers shooting the hook. Look how easy it was for him to do.

 

Meyers has a nice touch around the basket. We should run more plays for him on the post as well and eventually he might learn he's the tallest guy on the court and it's ok to dunk the shit out of the ball. I swear his rookie year he had no problems attacking the rim, but got shell shocked when he got his dunk packed and hasn't tried since

 

What's LP?

 

A sideways push shot is not a hook shot. His elbow bent a lot, and his forearm didn't follow a semicircular path. In the 1970s, I remember the tallest NBA centers still shooting a lot of hook shots.

 

Dumb ole skyhooks aren't worth as much as swish3s.

 

It's what we listened to music on before the 8 track came out....now it's making a comeback

 

Henderson keeps impressing me. You know the stuff I said about trading him..... ummmm, yeah, we can forget about that for right now.

So you wanted to trade him when he had no value but now when he does have value you don't want to trade him??

 

I really like Henderson, he's a hothead hehe. I like how he's constantly in the refs ears,he calls Mayers on his shit,we lead by 20 and this guy is yelling at everybody and jumping on anything.

The Rockets looked horrible, like the most unprofessional team in Basketball, they need to blow it up fast.

Before the month started: "oh shit we need to play the Rockets 3 times this month".
Now: "We comin' for that number 6 spot!"

*And all of this without crabbe.
