Re: Are the Blazers playing up to your expectations?
Overall team performance is what I expected in terms of wins and loses. Some games I expected to be closer than they were.
Here is how I feel about the players:
Zach: I didn't expect him to play so early in the season and he is closer to his 20-10 mark in the second half of the year than I thought he would be.
Viktor: Just what I expected. Solid player and consistant effort. No baggage.
Blake: Way ahead of my expectations. Dissapointed that he was good enough to take the starting role, but am satisfied due to Telfair's performance.
HA: Looked better than I thought. His english is also pretty good.
Ruben: I knew he would play well and get traded.
Skinner: Relieved that he is putting forth the effort.
That's it for the good reviews:
Outlaw: Completely disappointed. Getting better late in the season, but I thought he might have a chance a starting. It is apparant how little knowledge he gained from Cheeks.
Telfair: Slightly under my expectations. I knew his game didn't match Nate's ideal, but I thought he would still be a more productive passer. Although, the rest of the team's poor shooting also makes him look less effective. Still think he can play with the best one day.
Miles: Although the injury was a set back, his lack of desire makes me want him gone. I hoped he would use the opportunity to prove the critics wrong.
Pryzbilla: Totally under expectations. Although having Zach back didn't help his game. I really wanted to see him and Telfair on the Pick and Roll and it just isn't happening. I also think Nate isn't using Joel's offense at all. It may be Nate's system more than Joel's play that isn't looking as good. Still an effective center, but not worth over the MLE.
Dixon: Exceeded my hopes at the beginning of the year, but then he seemed to feel he deserved his role and started being cocky and less effective.
Monia: Disappointed
Jack: Didn't really know what to expect. Am impressed with his ability to draw a foul.
Webster: I thought he would get more of a chance being such a high draft pick. I think everyone just needs to learn his strengths and get him going.
I am being very Verbose now arn't I.
