    So this year we are all aware of the new up beat tempo that Nate has the Blazers running. I believe this up beat speed is exactly what the blazers need to force others to play our game. However, this year is the wrong year to have it. With the condensed new season, that means less rest, and more running. Of course it also makes it hard for other teams to run with us. But if we are running this way every game. Perhaps we will be the ones that are too tired to run our own offense. Any thoughts?

    Nate needs to sub more!  I don't understand why he doesn't give Elliott Williams more minutes for one... hes a freak athlete and could prove himself with some minutes givin too him... and then Chris Johnson should be playing more so that the posts can get more rest.  I also thinks CJ fits into an up-tempo offense just by watching how athletic he is on defense.  The up-tempo offense is fine... Nate just needs to sub.

    Blazers go deeper then most teams, You should check the minutes each player gets per game. But LA and Wallace will be getting no rest now. As for Elliot, I dunno if he should get more minutes. We have Nolan smith to sub at the point and J-Cross to sub out Wesley. Just because Elliot is an athlete doesn't mean much. Which is why Chris Johnson has been in the D league for the past few years. Also we can't go and do to many subs because it messes with the tempo.

    Dont think they trade him for JJ tho, they can just sign Hickson.

    I watched Shabazz at the combine and he was a poor shooter.  In fact he did  so bad he did not even show up for drills in day two.  He may be a scorer not a shooter.  If he throws up enough shots he scores.  If someone looks a...

    I would agree LMA is a decent defender but his help defense and team defense needs a lot of work. It is in these areas that Bosh really separates himself from LMA and it is because of that he is a better player than LMA despite not putting the sam...

    I was looking at some shooting stats and came across a very very alarming stat. LMA was the league leader in FGA from 16-23 feet. Not only was he the leader he was lead by a mile. His 7.3 attempts from this distance easily outpaced Demar Derozan w...

    Sug I would start with him outscoring Wesley Matthews. He also needs to get his FTA up and his FG% up and cut down the turnovers. 


    His defense was decent last year but not that good as he is either too weak or just unwil...
