Yeah, I don't get the dissing on Telfair, Play. He played well out there I thought. He was agressive & he was able to get to the rim at will. I didn't think he was a ball hog at all out there. He had a tremendous pass to Outlaw (and another to Miles) that niether were able to finish on.

Miles was a little reckless out there, but I'd rather see him that aggressive. He just needs to get himself under control a little more. He has great moves and is another player who can reach the rim at will, he just needs to learn how to finish.

BTW, if you are going to criticize Telfair, then you should talk about his non existant outside shot. I hope he is working on that, EVERY DAY in practice, b\c sooner or later teams will play off him and dare him to shoot, he has got to be able to make them pay for doing so.

Nah........ I should have thought about the non assist passes

[CrGiants]

Wow, Ming Bling, should we be impressed that DA showed his horrible defense? If you had ever looked at this board before, you'd know we've been complaining about how horrible his defense -his whole game for that matter- all year long.

And Stoudemire, while I don't think we should judge him on one game, does not really impress me all that much. He's freakishly athletic, but aside from that, I've never really been all that impressed. But that athleticness allows him to make a great contribution.

Yo Jackie- Utah isn't playing so well. Recognize.

He hit a long jumper last night!

That was nice to see. The guy scored 30ppg+ in HS, I think he'll be ok at offense if he sets his mind to it. His shot was very flat tonight though.

Sore losers? If anything you should be talking about how QRich is pathetic, taking advantage of DA like that and dropping 9 treys on the Blazers.

BTW- He made only 8 accordinig to Yahoo Sports. As for the season he is shooting 27.5 from 3's. So I agree with HAp. Everyone abuses DA so come with something fresh..

This thread is only going to cause arguments. A Mod should lock this.

How anyone can bash Telfair with only seeing him a few times is beyond me. He hasn't made some outside shots.....BFD. Give him some time, thats all we're asking. I don't expect him to be anything more than average for awhile. You can't learn the pro game if you never play.

[jackiejackal]

Young Sebastian to me should be called the "Teflon Don" right
now.
I don't want any critisism to be put on him right now.
He simply can't be critisized at this time.
He doesn't play enough..
Don't put him in when they are just in chaos.
Put him in and guide him as he is leading the team down court.
Teach him ... talk to him.

How come i can always hear the oppposing coaches shouting
out plays but seldom our coach??


Put him in at a calmer time..
You don't take a new bank employee and put them in
during a bank robbery do you???
That sounded pretty stupid,but hopefully you get the point.

I consider him to be so far removed from the muck that we see,why mention him.
I still say he is a keeper and I LOVE HIM.
He makes me happy when i see him.
He is fresh.

No, things do please me.

I would be pleased if Telfair did that during a game or two (that mattered). But, nothing he did showed that he was some super stud in the making.

He blew by a third string scrub. Good god, that's not impressive.



No he can't. He made a few good moves in garbage time.

He may eventually be good. But right now he is very average to below average.

Play.

You say this so confidently as if he's not played well, but yet I doubt that you anticipated that he would get Barbosa to foul him four times. You probably thought Barbosa was a decent defender. I'm not trying to tell you what you think, but I don't believe that you weren't the least bit impressed.

i thought arguing was half the point of bulletin boards.

as long as people argue points and not make things too personal, that is.

Derek Anderson is terrible, this guy shouldn't be a starting SG on any team.

The only guy who is more inconsistent than DA (Derek Anderson) at shooting is Damon Stoudamire. He is terrible at running plays and way past his prime (which he pretty much achieved in his first year).

Derek Anderson is one of the worst starting SG's in the league.

Do a search for all my posts regarding Derek Anderson. The Blazer backcourt is one of the worst in the league, but knocking down 8 treys is still an accomplishment... even against DA.

Don't know if anyone already posted this:

"Richardson making all those threes demoralized the people who were guarding him," Trail Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks said. "Our defense was on our heels."

I don't recall seeing anyone even defending Richardson, let alone having demoralized heels. DA made a half-hearted attempt on one of the shots, but QR took a step back and DA lost interest.

This isn't in response to anyone, just response to some of the things I've read and my takes...


Damon - Horrible game, horrible season...

DA - On nights he can't shoot, he slightly bothers me. On nights like tonight when he gets burned over and over, I can't stand the guy. Trade him tomorrow.

Mo Cheeks - I'm the first to defend him...when he desreves it. Tonight clearly would not be one of those nights. As far as adjustments go, he lost that battle. It would help if he had some gaurds.

Ruben - The guy is clearly the spark to our team. Zach is clearly the best player, but Ruben makes us play much better (kind of a sad thought).

Ratliff - What the heck has happened to him? The injury excuse is over, this is pathetic.

Miles - Not sure why people are upset that he was playing some point, I thought it was a great idea. The 4th quarter was the time to test out what players might be able to do for us later this season and in future season. It would be nice to have another 6'8" PG, it certainly worked out last time we had one.

Telfair - I'd be lying if I said I was surprised that people would bash on him after a game like tonights. There are people here who hated the draft choice and won't be happy with Telfair unless he's an all-star. He played very well tonight despite being a little off from the field. People who are upset that he didn't shoot well should ask themselves this; would you rather have a PG that when he's shooting poorly keeps shooting, or a PG that takes it hard to the rack so he can get some FT's? To me that's the difference between what Damon and Telfair does, and I like the second option.
