    We looked much better starting the second half with Mo Harkless in place of Meyers. Meyers had the worst +/- on the team at -17. Harkless had the best at +8.

    Maybe Harkless should be getting the extension instead of Meyers?

    Disappointed in Leonard. Wasn't expecting a huge leap, but I was expecting solid starter play. Unfortunately he just looks "meh", just doesn't play aggressive enough, is too skiddish in the paint offensively.

    With Davis, Plumbs and Vonleh all out playing him, I'm afraid there just isn't any room for Leonard in the rotation or future. Guess his ceiling wasn't as high as I hoped.

    I don't really get the point of having big men shooters that don't do the things big men are supposed to do. I think you're better off having another guard or wing player in there. The only exception to this is someone who is really really good as a shooter like Durant or Nowitski.

    Channing Frye would give us the same as Leonard.

    That's what I meant the last couple of seasons when I said that we need traditional forwards, not Aldridge and Batum.

    The problem I got is with him it is defense rebounding we got small foward and bench pf have more boards tonight 1 board doesn't make me excited. If dont start doing thing what big suppose to do then you replace him.

    Yeah, 1 rebound in 31 minutes. Thats after a game he had 0 points. He wen't 0-4 from three tonight. When that happens he is a big negative to the team. Davis, Plums, Harkless, Aminu bring contributions to the team when they don't score. Meyers, not as much.

    One rebound in 31 minutes.
    In a perverse sort of way, that is kinda impressive!

    I've grown to like Meyers. He seems like a neat kinda guy.

    [Amazing music clip - top notch lyrics, singing, musicianship and production values!]

    He still looks kinda like a boy battling with men whenever he's near the hoop.
    He has improved a lot the last year or so; hopefully he can continue to develop some toughness, and his shot comes back.

    last two games.

    He must be injured. That's the only thing I can think of for his poor performance. I mean even the opposing player he is guarding is having a field day, and he shut down one of the best offensive centers in the league last year in the playoffs. Something is not ok with young Meyers. Hopefully the Blazers see this and get him checked by a doctor.

    Apparently he's had numbness in his left hand since the season opener when he was hit in the elbow.

    Snarkiness is really making this board unbearable to read.

    I'm glad it looks like he isn't getting that extension yet. He can play for it the rest of the season and get rewarded this summer after we have maybe signed some other good players.

    So CLEARLY the answer is to match those posts with even snarkier posts which further damage the continuity of the forum.

    Bravo!

    very good point..I'd like to see what happens when Stotts puts Kaman on the court with him just to get him going in short stretches.

    If you truly believe you are right, then does it matter what others think or do? If you are sure of yourself and true to yourself, then do you need to try to prove the point?
    Im just sayin' bro. I personally really like both you and King's vitral, whether I agree or not, but the thing is I don't see King on here continuing this.

    Sometimes the battles are best won by walking away and moving on, is all I'm sayin'. :) And as long as you know you won, who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks? You wont change their mind and they wont change yours. :)

    Plus your posts are basically becoming an annoyance to many ( Not me, but its been pointed out by others). Why further isolate yourself trying to prove your point? I'm saying this because Ive been in those shoes. I have a hard time agreeing to disagree. Or have had. I am much better at it and continue to work on it, but I can go on forever if I feel like it... but when I look back? Hardly anything I couldn't walk away from ended up with a result I was looking for.
    This is a lesson I continue to remind myself.
    Friendly advice. Take it or leave it. :)
