    Agreed. If I were coaching ML, or in his inner circle, I would suggest he tone down the antics. He's trying too hard to prove himself, and looking like an insecure teenage girl in the process. That has nothing to do with his value on the court, though. At least he's trying to prove himself.

    If you don’t think he also 100% annoys the shit out of his teammates you’d be wrong. Are they “less annoyed” when he plays well? Yes. So he should be more tolerable if he plays well. But the guy isn’t the most popular Blazer in the locker room I guarantee that.

    So now you have him as a problem in the locker room? Wow? The hatred is strong in this one.....

    Mine is not weak. It's true.

    Sorry, I just know I'm right. <3

    I dont agree. He'll regress to the mean we're accustomed to see. Sorry, but he's done it before in those smaller sample sizes where people thought he turned a corner. He probably never will.

    Ill cheer him when he becomes consistent. 80 minutes isn't consistent.

    You got a point. 87 mins over 8 games so far shouldn't be the tell all. See where he is after 20 games 300 minutes. This is pretty much what it took to get the Pat Haters to settle down a bit.

    Not a problem. But 100% guys are thinking “man, Meyers, cool it with the flexing and roaring and just play and shut up”. That is all.

    a 7'1" person with his big bodied athletic frame has only had 9 double-doubles in his 5+ years of being here. just that stat alone should warrant him off this team.

    i mostly blame the coaching in telling him that setting a pick 35 feet out and standing at the 3 point line is ok when it IS NOT FOR A CENTER!!!

    Yup. We dont give a shit about any improvement. None of his marginal improvement justifies his contract and the soonest he can be off this team the better. It's not like he's contributing to any wins.

    Be honest. Until the season started you didn't know Pat was gonna play as well as he is. No one did. He received criticism. Not the overused word "hate". Pat looked like garbage in SL.

    Everyone but Prunetang was wondering why Pat wasn't going to baseball after that SL.

    And I think Prunetang was just being contriarian.

    Meyers has shown nothing beyond small spurts. Hence my "representative" comment, which is accurate because it's true.

    I'll be honest. I called it in the middle of summer flat out. Don't even question that. Go read my game thread from the very first game. Pat didn't look like garbage in summer league. He pulled a hammy and didn't play.

    Absolutely wrong. Bones called it too. Three or four posters called Pat Con during the summer.

    We had this conversation before. I know where you stand. No reason to go over it again.

    I generalized and realized it, but yeah. There was a lot of heat on him.

    Did i tell you what to post? Sorry if it came across that way. You just responded to my post so i didn't see a reason to argue the point. I know where you stand. You want him gone.
