You speak about playing against vet's like it's some perfect, proven standard of development when that couldn't be any further from the truth. There are many ways to develop players and pretty much every single player to ever play the game has likely been developed differently. Those aren't robots out there, they are real human beings and because of that they are all completely unique individuals who will learn and grow in a unique and individual way. The fact is putting Outlaw in the game too much early on would have done far more harm than good.



Do you even read what you write down? NEWSFLASH: Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge are YOUNG DEVELOPING PLAYERS! You talk about them like they somehow don't count as Portland developed talent. And Outlaw and Martell don't get enough playing time? Are you on acid or something? How much more playing time should they get?
I really think that 5 minutes of perusing ProfitByProphet's posts is reason aplenty to ban him. Now I am not trying to tell the mods how to do their job, I'm just voicing my opinion. Putting ProfitByProphet on ignore doesn't quite cut it because he's baiting and fighting with posters that I enjoy reading.

For the most part I am glad that the mods on this board are not iron fisted dictators with itchy trigger fingers, for instance I took issue with croco on style and tone but he never pulled the Mod card and for that I respect him.

That said, I believe that if you give someone enough rope they will hang themselves.
My only question is "how is he managing to dance the hemp fandango with 2 left feet?"

Down 13 now...I have lost all confidence in this team, and I am so ****ing thankful that we don't play the Portland Mother****ing Trail Blazers any more this season. They'll sweep us.
