HEDO NIGHT! Portland Trailing Harkless @ Orlando Sweater Vests - 7PM

[seeingstars]

We could only hope AG could become that waive you off ISO player eventually. Those plays are needed come the playoffs when everything slows down

I had a love/hate moment with AG last night. He tried to play hero ball, and waived off Fournier to iso. It showed confidence, but he clanked it off the rim and ruined the momentum we had going for the moment. Luckily, it didn't cost us anything, but that's some of the bad habits that Skiles is trying to get rid of.

LOL if if we're not even going to let him do that then we may as well give up his development and trade him now. He waived off Evan, used a pick, they went under and he shot the J (which he has been making a lot of late). What is it... the first time he's ever done that in his career? He wasn't the only player to do that in the game, but it's ok for everyone else? It would have been ok if Fournier bricked the shot instead? How do you know it's not a sign of Skiles starting to give him more responsibility?

I get why people may be a little defensive because of the constant back and forth here, but really? How often have I talked bad about any player here...? Smdh

It was just a moment that I was sharing my thoughts on in one of the first 3 games I've been able to see in the last 4 years, but by all means jump all over me for sharing my thoughts on a team forum. While, you're at it, go ahead and wonder why these game threads are only 15% of what they used to average...

As I said originally, loved the confidence; but it was a glaring mistake in the flow of the game. Maybe I should have added that I'm fine with it, to ease all the butthurt.

Maybe this will help with board goodwill -

Yeah, no idea why you're so offended by my post.

Just watching this on DVR and I was surprised how physical it was, and how chippy it was with the refs. Our guys had a few loose elbows so it's not like they were perfect angels, but I love how they aren't letting the refs walk over them.
