Forum Game Would you be okay with keeping Anfernee if he went to the bench?

Haven’t we been over this more than once already before?

 

Your statement answered your question. Rose wasn't on the team when benched he had been the star on.

Ayton Ant Grant make the most money on the Blazers, and have got the most shots for years as the veterans. They think of all these other players as their students or assistants. Their not going to accept backing them up.

 

And this is what we're holding back Scoot and Sharpe for?

Because again, Simons isn't going to be a bench player in Portland.

 

Again, this thread is based on whether he is ok with coming off the bench. Because until he says so, we don't know.

As for Scoot and Scoot and Shae, if anyone is holding them back....it is them. If Simons sucks so much it should not be too hard to pass him by. And I expect them to do it this year.

 

I understand the premise of the thread, and I'm not arguing with you. It's just jaw dropping how bad we'd have to make ourselves to cater to him, even to play him off the bench.

As for Scoot and Sharpe, they've both already passed him by as far as I'm concerned. But he is going to start ahead of them and he's not going to ask to come off the bench.

I would be okay with him coming off the bench. But it's not going to happen.

 

This is silly. We already have data that shows most players are their least productive when playing with Ant.

 

Agreed

 

Joe’s got to have something up his sleeve.

 

I can't tell if you are joking or not. You don't actually put any credence in that "data". Do you?

 

Problem is the conductor is playing with model trains

 

He's far and away the best point guard on the team.

 

I just don’t want him on the team. At one point I thought he would be a great sixth man; no longer.

Yes he has offensive skills but no defense and the offense changes with him in there, less team and more “me”.

As I said before, I’m ok with him being on the bench and only coming off to cheer for the team or when it is Blevins-time.

 

Was the team missing other players as well? I’ll accept these stats if the roster was identical with only Ant missing. Also what was the strength of schedule? Were we playing the Celtics or the Jazz? Home or road?

 

You’re gonna have to take that up with the people who said yes.
