Nice to see Wright play decent last night but this team is terrible defensively with him at the 4. Please hurry back LA cause we cannot be losing to teams resting players on us.
You know, I thought Wright played well too, but we were outscored by 15 points while he was on the floor. More Claver, I say. Thomas Robinson, now, he played well AND was a +9. The slide continues.
Boris Diaw just abused Wright. It's a simple strategy to play physical against a soft team missing their best defensive player (and the only one with a DRtg better than the team average DRtg).
We had a much different version of Patty. Not one developed by the Spurs and mentored by a hall of fame PG. Apples/Oranges.
Your posts are kind of suck without blazer fanatic to encourage you to be on your pessimistic a game. She was the yin to your yang, and fuel for my wang
The only major difference I see is his ability to finish at the rim in traffic. When he was with us, he played within our system. If that called for him to hand off the ball, and stand in the corner, that's what he did (same goes for Nic, and Rudy). I think we would have seen similar production from Patty under Stotts. This is before he was even drafted: [video=youtube;U5zfDNT4A8Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5zfDNT4A8Y[/video] His highlights with us: [video=youtube;SpfDYogY0MY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpfDYogY0MY[/video]
Who caught Barrett's excuses last night? Parker/Duncan/Leonard being out wasn't a big deal for SA. The Blazers lose Aldridge and Barrett acts like it's an impossible situation to overcome. Totally different if you believe him. Best was Chris Haynes saying Nic told him he was fatigued. If that isn't the softest fucking thing you've ever heard..... What a disappointing season this is shaping up to be. Not getting out of the 1st round since 2000 looks like it will hold again.
