Shouldn't Barton think about protective sleeve guards?

    I've mentioned this in chats before but undersized slashers and rebounders get clocked by big vets alot in the paint. Would't it be in the best interest of the team to suggest sleeve braces for thighs, elbows, ankles, etc? Iverson is my example. He bounced off some of the biggest centers in the modern game and stayed on the court. He might have looked like the Mummy but it worked!

    Barton should look into getting all the " Under Armour " he can.

    Funny how I tried to mention this in the media day interviews and Casey practically scoffed at my question!!! Made it sound like any fan in the know wouldn't be sayin that to Barton... Casey, we just want to protect our players! You wear a helmet and pads if you ride a bike or go skating and on average there's a LOT more day-to-day impact in basketball! Just sayin :P

    If I was a Blazer coach, I'd put pads on every limb and joint that is paddable. Yes, we'd look more like the Winterhawks, but I'd feel better about the on court collisions at least.

    Yeah, he was tripping with that Scottie Pippen reference. Nowhere as good as him, BUUUTTT, I think he can be, if he plays like a man. In Euroleague, you are taught more about finesse, and the fundamentals. He needs to put a little more muscle on, ...

    I think what Stotts is doing is superb. His plays are great. I remember the only play he ever called for Meyers Leonard, against the Bobcats. Great movement, got LMA a good mid range look, got Batum a decent three look and the got Meyers way down ...
