How is pointing out his struggles "hate"? Don't misclassify it. He referenced Aminus numbers on the season being down. You're the one using single game samples and stats from small samples from different seasons.
I will say this - Stauskas is playing like he always has, while Curry is not the player he has been in the past. My inclination is just to ignore Stauskas and be disappointed in Curry. I know some fans are satisfied and actually worried about re-signing them, but I would rather just invest some time in grooming Trent and Simons.
I have very little expectations out of Sauce. I was actually decently happy he made a defensive play without fouling against the Bucks or Knicks idr which team. He spaces the floor and has the ability to put the ball on the floor and make a play. I just wish he was stronger with the ball so he wouldn't get knocked off angles so easily. Who knows maybe he's actually really strong, but just has that Nards mindset.
Seth has played well for the Blazers shooting 50% of his swish3s, 3 of 3 for FT, although he needs to up his numbers of assists, rebounds, and steals. When he has returned from injury, I would play him before Gary or Simons. Let's try Seth and see if he can add to Blazer scoring off the bench.
Love ya, KS, but I'm gonna merge this with the aminu thread. It's much too similar and belongs in the aminu thread.
Relax people this was a tough road trip any wins are good wins. Yea we got blown out against the Bucks but I seen a lot great teams get blown out in the pass but they all bounce back. We got one more game against a team that has struggled at late the warriors. Will it be easy no but dual able. This what I like about Aminu the guy always plays hard no Matter if he making shots or not. But eventually he will be replaced by Zach but I don't think this year is the year.
Seth is shooting it well from '3'....but as per his career, is already injured. Certainly a threat when he is able to be on the floor.
And the team has lost 8 straight playoff games. Because the other team doesn't even try to guard him. Check Mate!
Chief has a few statistics that show his value, starting with the 18 steals he has this year. That is 4 more steals than any other Blazer. Surprisingly, Chief has 127 defensive rebounds, which is 7 more than Nurk has. Chief has played excellent defense against toughest assignments and remained resilient. He deserves credit and encouragement.
No question his defense deserves recognition. He always draws the toughest assignment. So that alone should speak volumes. But his offensive issues far outweigh his defensive value. This year is almost an exact blueprint for what happened last year and the year before. He starts out fairly well and then drops off and eventually becomes what he is.
Agreed....those are very solid. It's just that they are well balanced out with his inability to dribble above a junior high level, is not a good passer, and still has a shot resembling a mid-evil catapult.
Every team needs that one player they can deploy on defense a la Scottie Pippen. Take away Aminu and who becomes that player for us? Harkless? Turner?
C'mon.... You are not going to try and put Aminu in the same league as Pippin now are you? If teams disrespected Pippin like they do Aminu in games at the 3 point line he would destroy them. Not just talking three point shooting. I'm talking putting the ball on the floor and destroying them on a drive!
When people do shit like this it gets in my nerves... First, it's Pippen... 2nd, What was Pippen's role defensively? To guard the best offensive player. That's all I'm saying. I'm talking about DEFENSE. WTF are you talking about? Stop taking this somewhere it wasn't going.
