The "How are Aldridge, Batum, Lopez, and Matthews Doing?" Thread

Man this is some serious victim blaming bullshit. I guess whatever you say broham.

 

He could have.....in the same sense that Meyers Leonard could have won the MVP.....by virtue of just being in the league he is eligible.

 

What does that even mean? Bonus points if you can tie it into the context of the discussion.

I don't recall any flaw being demonstrated, clearly or otherwise.

I'll skip what others have said and ask you to refute something I said, do you expect anyone to believe that a player in a contract year would play on a sore achilles if he only cared about money?

 

If you're not comfortable on the court, your whole game suffers. That's a problem I have sometimes, where I'll tense up for no reason and shoot poorly because of it. The fans getting on him and him feeling the effects of the injury have probably caused him to lose confidence, making him shoot worse.

 

I'm not really sure what that's referring to? Was Wes' Achilles bothering him before being ruptured? If so, I don't remember that.

Achilles aggravations are extremely common with athletes of all sports. Many people are playing through such things at any given time, and very rarely do they escalate into something that's looked back upon as a season or career-ending injury. So no, I don't really see that as being very revealing of Wes' motivations. You could also look at it the other way, that he pushed through potential injury precisely because it was a contract year, not wanting to show any sign of weakness.

 

You could look at your dog barking at strangers as a sign they're bringing you a Publisher's Clearing House check for a million dollars. I'll err on the side of reason.

 

Ive Figured it out. Its obvious there must be another NBA league with another Blazers team that has a player on the roster with the last name of Lillard. this is the ONLY way Tunchi can be correct. Otherwise its obvious Tunchi has some sort of negative bias and or needs to visit the eye doctor. All players are streaky to an extent. Hit 10 free throws in a row and thats a streak. Miss one and that ends the streak. Making him a streaky free throw shooter.

LBJ is streaky. Kobe was streaky. Even MJ was streaky.... come on man. Stop baggin on Dame, he is the best Blazer in two decades and if built around properly can be a contender for the next decade. Get over it man...
