    We talk bout this current squad being too deep, but the 99 team was 12 deep. I loved the bench with Jimmy Jackson, Walt Williams, Greg Anthony, and Stacey Augmon. The 80 team was in rebuilding mode and wouldn't stand a chance. Without Bill and Maurice, Rasta Monsta and Sheed would just dominate the paint. Let's not forget about JR Rider either. Off-court issues aside, he was the emotion of the team and always made the big shot for us that year. I believe our leading scorer was JR at only 13 a night..crazy.

    The 99 team really got Blazer Mania back again. It was so nice to finally get out of the 1st round. Their length, depth, and athleticism would be too much for the 80 team. Anyone else love it when JR would pull back his jersey to show his "heart"? Dude was crazy but I loved him for that one season..needless to say it was a smart trade to get Smitty from ATL.

    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 have not been overly impressed with splitter''s defense in the post season.

    Exactly why trading him before he bails might be the best plan

    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...

    Started by cmeese47 on 05/24/13 at 12:38 PM

    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...
