...yeah, watch his media day interview and you can see it in Dame's eyes -- same old Meyers basketball wise!
I expect nothing from Meyers so I won't get disappointed again. if he actually has a decent season then its a win/win
...haaaa -- I had nearly forgotten about this gem of a video! https://www.blazersland.com/leave-meyers-alone-video/
If Caleb Swanigan looks head and shoulders better than the rest at PF, I can even see him starting. I don't think the competition is all that good at this point. I don't know for sure, of course. I don't/won't see the team practice, and it remains to be seen if the SL performance is a portend of things to come. What I do know is that Vonleh better be ready for a fight, and that Leonard better be ready, too.
That's a big if, but it's possible. I don't see practices, either. If the team is winning, then whoever our inaugural starting PF will be difficult to unseat. Biebs can't move his feet, so he SHOULD only be fighting for backup C minutes.
Biebs better be ready or he won't get any minutes. He at least needs to show something in practice, and then on the court. At either position. Again, that's my take.
And the hate continues..... Meyers Leonard hired his own personal trainer with his own money. Which most were asking him to do. He worked on his game hard all summer. Which most were asking him to do. He worked on elements like rebounding and power game around the hoop. Which most were asking him to do. He got gleaming evaluation from not only his trainer but other players including Blazers like Damian Lillard. But there are simply those who just cannot and will not stop hating on him. Even if his game is way better this year they will only see the occasional turnover or missed assignment that is sure to happen. Missed shots will be an accumulation from years past. Meyers truly needs to go to another team and start over. There is simply no way Blazer fans can get over their problem. And yes it's their problem.
Yeah. Just hope he fouls out. That is the perfect thing for the Blazers. The season has not started but the hate continues.
The only way to silence the haters is to prove them wrong, and that's up to Meyers to do. Talk is cheap. Let's see results. BTW, I'm not a Meyers hater. I was a Meyers supporter for four years, but at this point he needs to produce. Simple as that. BNM
My "like" does not necessarily indicate support for the bolded line. I'm hoping Meyers finally breaks through and proves his value this year, on our squad, not on another.
It was a joke. Lighten up Lucy. I was one of the biggest Meyers supporters on this board for four years. I don't hate the guy and would still love to see him succeed, but I need to see positive results on the floor during real games. I don't think that's unreasonable, or hateful. BNM
Its not that. He talks and talks and never produces. When he does it consistently, we will cheer him. Until then, hes proven nothing to give him of the benefit of the doubt. He can do all the stuff we say we want him to do, but if in 6 months its the same meyers leonard... Then im not gonna look foolish for the 6th year in a row.
With Caleb, Vonleh, Zach, and Aminu on the roster, I want Meyers to play backup center. Period. With Vonleh injured, I could see Caleb starting. He'll be hard to unseat if he does. Nurk + Caleb = The Northwest Bruise Brothers Blazers fans are going to love those guys.
