Pity he still cant hit a 3 to save his life at the momentA 1 point win at home to the Jazz but I will take any win we can muster atm, Also good to see Dame go 10-17 from the field.
Yet another game where Portland's first round pick in the 2012 draft comes through in the crunch and leads them to a win. No I'm not talking about Damian Lillard, I'm talking about Meyers Leonard. I think just about every single Portland fan has doubted this guy at one time or another, and at stages he looked like he was a mile off being an NBA player, but he's put together a really good month coming off the bench and today when no one else could make shots and our offense was spluttering, he made 4 big shots and got some rebounds. He'll never be a star but he's essentially a more athletic Spencer Hawes who can actually rebound and is shooting much more efficiently.
Also, I ******* hate the Rockets, **** them, **** their fans and *** that flopping **** Harden
@TrailBlazersPR: Meyers Leonard has averaged 7.5 points and 5.7 rebounds on 59.8% FG (46.3% 3-PT) since the beginning of 2015 (19 games).
CJ McCollum over last 3-3/4 games: 43 pts, 15-26 from the field (58%), 7-16 from deep (44%).McCollum coming along nicely with more minutes too.
Gotta say it is extremely encouraging to see these two young guys seizing their opportunities and making a difference. Our bench goes from horrid to a strength when these guys are shooting well and scoring. Super excited for the back half of the season and they playoffs. Still think we are a backup wing away from being ready to rumble with the big boys so it will be interesting to see if Olshey gets something done
Dont forget Chandler is a very good defender.With the deadline fast approaching we are apparently in the mix for either Chandler or Afflalo. Either would be helpful, but I wonder who would be the best fit? Part of me says Chandler because backup sf has been a problem and this would allow Batum to play some backup sg, the other half says Afflalo because while CJ can score, Afflalo adds to our defensive stocks. Thoughts?
This is true and I feel like Chandler is the better fit, but Denver seem to want more for himDont forget Chandler is a very good defender.
I feel like Affalo might be insurance if we dont end up matching a deal for Wes
I agree with Wes and affalo playing the 2/3 at the same time- although stotts does like playing small ball with guards.This is true and I feel like Chandler is the better fit, but Denver seem to want more for him
Lillard (36)/Blake (12)
Mathews (34)/Batum (8)/CJ (6)
Batum (20)/Chandler (28)
LA (36)/Leonard (12)
Rolo (32)/Kaman (16)
Whereas if we get Afflalo I don't think having Wes and Afflalo play the 2 and 3 at the same time is ideal. At least with Batum splitting time at the 2 and 3 he can act as the secondary ball handler to both Lillard and Blake. Maybe I'm splitting hairs though
Pity we are pissing away an easy game todayHappy with what we got on the trade deadline though I would have preferred Chandler.
Bench has been an absolute nightmare******* disgraceful getting smashed in Utah.
