Because you’re such a good Blazers fan that you hope another Western Conference team improves and potentially pushes the Blazers out of the playoffs ? Makes perfect sense.
He is Allen Crabbe 2.0. He was BRK's Plan B in the summer of 2016 As with Crabbe, BRK offered Johnson a ridiculous contract in the hope that MIA wouldn't match. But, like POR, MIA matched rather than let a mediocre backup walk for nothing. "Serious multiperson delegations from the Rockets, Kings and Nets had all come to downtown Chicago, where Johnson's agents are based, to meet the 24-year-old. The fact that he'd averaged only 7.4 points for Miami over 68 career games -- less than one full season -- deterred none of the general managers or coaches paying homage. "I kept feeling like someone was going to be like, 'Psych! Just kidding! None of this is real!' " Johnson says. To pry him away from Miami, which had the right to match any contract, the Nets phoned Johnson's agents with a ballooning, back-loaded offer -- one that caused him to lie, facedown, on the carpet of their office. And then flee, minutes later, for the safety of his hotel room across the street. And then call his mother, Jennifer, back home in Mountain View, California, to cryptically exhale, "We did it." And then vomit -- not once but twice -- as the sheer thought of a four-year, $50 million contract caused Tyler's body to revolt against his brain." "S---," Bosh said after hearing the news. "Fifty?" The result of BRK's diabolical plan is two of the most overpaid players in NBA history. Allen Crabbe is making $18,500,000 this year (with a player option for another $18,500,00 next year) and Tyler Johnson is making $19,245,370 (with a player option for anther $19,245,370 next season). At least we were able to somewhat wiggle out of Crabbe's contract. MIA is still stuck with Tyler Johnson - for now. At least Evan Turner didn't puke - twice - at learning how overpaid he was about to become. BNM
He did not need to. A guy driving a truck did as he plunged into his pool. To be fair, while I think that ET was overpaid - he is not as big of an overpay as Crabbe and T Johnson.
Come on, you can do better than that. It was an intentional set up so someone could respond, "no he didn't, but I do every time I see him attempt a jump shot" or similar. BNM
Yes but that was when GS collapsed and they didnt have KD. GS with KD had already beat cleveland in the finals pretty easily, with Kyrie.
My posts are always historically accurate and backed by statistics. If you go to fan-reference.com and search for my vpjs stats in the Evan Turner category you will see that is is 0.0
Maybe Im getting my years mixed up, I will check, but I thought the year Kyrie and Love were both hurt was GS’s first championship? edit: the 2017 finals it looks like Kyrie and Love played? Maybe it was one of those hurt but still played? I am not saying Kyrie is bad, he’s a good player. It just seems like for a guy getting a max contract well I dont know if Id give him one. Im sure he will get one though.
I learned a long time ago that I should not be too upset at things I can not control. I can assure you that I have a pretty decent cpjs (cuss) scores
You witness certain traumatic events in your life that, no matter how hard you try, you simply cannot unsee. For me personally, an Evan Turner jump shot is one of those things. BNM
In all seriousness - while I agree that it is not a pretty shot, ET does not seem like he takes a lot of unwarranted shots of the nature that would cause me to cuss. I am a lot more likely to cuss at a Chief dribbling situation, because, frankly, he should know better. Same goes for some of CJ's I will shoot it no matter how hard it is shots from last year or Nurk's soft-ass flip shots from the start of last season. I do not begrudge ET his shot since he does not seem to press it and usually only takes it when it is a reasonable shot to take.
Yeah, he generally only attempts a 3 when he is WIDE open. The one that really gets me is the Turner iso when he backs his man down, backs his man down and then launches a low trajectory turn around missile at the front of the rim. WTF? Someone needs to tell him the shot has zero chance of going in when the top half of the ball hits the bottom half of the rim. Put a little arc on that fucker. I don't know if there is a term that means the opposite of "shooter's touch", where the ball is lofted softly above the rim, with sufficient backspin that it dances around the rim before gently falling through, but the Evan Turner turnaround J is it.
