Lol, right. You're the one that went totally off topic to try to get in a dig at me. It's ok, Crabbe is gone. No need to relive your past humiliation. Just let it go. You'll feel better. BNM
1. Not about to rehash another Crabbe argument. I know you’d love to, but it’s irrelevant to my point, which is your hypocrisy. 2. You get humiliated when you’re wrong? That sucks.
And now...the Official Blocks per Minute Database! In which we find which 7-footers had seasons in which their Blocks per Minute was below .01. For those numerically challenged...that means less than one block per 100 minutes. The biggest perpetrator was Bill Cartwright. http://bkref.com/tiny/eOuQq
Then you probably shouldn't have brought it up in a thread that had nothing to do with him, Einstein. No, I don't. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong. I did so earlier today in a thread you started (my comment about Bruno Caboclo not being 2-way eligible) You're the one still butt hurt over some disagreement that happened two years ago. You just can't seem to let it go. BNM
It's funny, you used this against me too. Out of all 3 of us, you're the dude who can't stand being wrong and posts snarky comments like this over differences of opinion. And you're calling other people hypocrites? Yikes.
The amazing thing with this is you can take it all the way down to 83 minutes played over an entire season and Quagmeyers is still the only 7 footer to not have a single block, and he did it in 254 minutes. It's actually a pretty remarkable statistic. You would think some shitty rookie or washed up has-been playing out a contract would have been more useless at blocking shots, but nope, our $40 million 5th year veteran "center" stood alone. He might have the most comically bad contract signed with us in Blazers' history. It's got to be right there with Damon Stoudamire's extension. Anyway, I absolutely love what I'm seeing in preseason with him. (Maybe he's just a ludicrously slow learner?) Yeah, he's still useless at any kind of defense unless it's against another big in the post, but kind of in the same way Ed Davis was useless at everything offensive beyond about 4 feet from the rim. We're replacing a backup center who only plays on one end of the court with another backup center who only plays on one end of the court. It's not a wash, but it's not as bad as I feared.
Yeah Meyers might be the most mentally busted NBA player Ive ever seen. On offense his shot is so slow that every time he gets the ball you can tell he’s thinking can I get it off even when he’s open. On defense he reminds me of my 4 year old, she just kind of wanders around and is ready to get the ball back. This is a much meaner sounding post than its meant to be, because I want all the Blazers to succeed, but Meyers my goodness...
I love Arsenal Fan TV! Troopz is great! "I've had it Robbie! I swear! Blud. Every phucking year! He's a phuuking phraud!" I'm a Man City fan but I love those guys. It's kind of sad Wenger had to retire but they are doing really well now under new management.
Yeah. I don't think he's been that bad on the third unit. He's never going to justify his contract but he hits some shots and hits the open man.
Good post, but...Davis wasn't slow on offense, like Leonard is on defense. Davis' worst seasons shooting the 3-10 foot range were in Portland. Now freed from Stotts, he shoots from 3-10 feet better than he shoots the 0-3 foot range. http://bkref.com/pi/shareit/TEKGL He is a good shooter. Shooting success is not the same thing as shooting range. (As of right now after Oct. 31 games, Davis leads the Nets in PER, as does Vonleh for the Knicks. Olshey gave away both.)
What I want to see is Zach at PF, Chief at SF, and Meyers alternating at C with Nurk to keep fresh energetic defense of AD at all times, especially the 2nd and 4th quarters. After the strong challenge that the Pelicans gave the Warriors, consistent defense and efficient offense are likely needed for this important win. This will be a nice time for the improved defense and high accuracy swish3 scoring of Meyers to emerge. The Blazers should aim for at least 45 points from swish3s and 130 total points in this game. Maximizing swish3 scoring power by having Meyers, Zach, and Nik on the floor can win this game. We always count on Dame and CJ for points, and need to add some powerful scoring to get this win.
Meyers has extremly slow reactions resulting in him playing terrible defense. On offense he doesn't shoot attempting 6 field goals per 36 minutes, last on our team. He is one of if not the absolute worst players currently on an NBA roster.
