Injuries may be a blessing in disguise

That's not in line with the quote from Freeland that I read. Unfortunately the article is not available anymore. My best guess is that the Blazers were sending a coach over just prior to his coming to Portland (1-2 years). Either that or the article I read was bogus... Regardless, I am having trouble finding any articles that state the Blazers had been sending coaches overseas to monitor freelands development. I would appreciate if one of you remembers a source and could share it!

I'd also like to point out that sending an NBA coach over to help form a regiment for Freeland is in no means as beneficial as being able to work 1-on-1 with an NBA coach every day.

 

Impressed by Leonard performance

 

Meyers is still a kid. A simple, somewhat immature, kid. Who seems like he wants to do well.

It's going to be a while before Meyers becomes "grizzled".

In fact, I have a hard time imagining what a "grizzled" Meyers would look like. LOL

I'm rooting for him.

 

I think a grizzled Meyers starts looking like Stotts in the face... *shudder*

I wish he'd kept the mustache.

The number of things Meyers has to work on is shrinking steadily. Not fouling and learning to block shots are big but they're pretty much all that's left. Meyers is more aware on the court and doesn't wander around. He gets to his spot, and he hits his shots. These are Good Things™.
