the 2 blocks were nice, but that was offset by a couple of bonehead turnovers and some stupid fouls. That's why he only played 7 minutes. True x-factors earn more playing time then that
That was not a positive yikes. You just don't know what you're getting from TROB but if he can get it together this team can do some real damage. LMA has been amazing but when he inevitably gets gassed it's down to TROB to spell him and ROLO a bit. Freeland may be useful later but he certainly doesn't have the strength for Howard.
I suspected you weren't extolling the virtues but I wasn't sure
seeing how important it was to have strong contributions from Mo and Dorrell...and keeping in mind that Mo has helped in most game this season and Dorrell has played well since the all-star break...it would make a world of difference for the Blazers to have an effective veteran big man on the bench. Whether it was Delambert, or Dujaun Blair, or Ronny Turiaf, or Chris Kaman or Jermaine O'Neal....just some big that can come in and put up decent numbers with a little consistency, and all those guys were available last summer. T-Rob and Freeland can't provide that and Leonard is a lost cause. hell, even Drew Gooden would be better then what Portland has...probably
It would help a ton if Olshey corrected last summer's mistake this summer
Jermaine would have been amazing. How does a slightly used Tyson Chandler suit ya?
