Its posts like these late at night over the years that have grew to 6000+..I gotta get my Balzer fix and its here.....I've notcied you've been posting here more frequently :banana:I have been, and that is weird to me! I am more interested in the Blazers now that I was at the beginning of the season. I guess seeing all the young bucks out on the court, and what they have to offer has got me a bit more interested. I am ready for the "new Blazers" and I welcome a change of scenery. Also I just got done writing a 112 page research paper, and throughout that process I would just come here to post to get my mind off of it. And here I am, 1:40 AM, I have a History final at 10 and I am not even close to being ready for it. Lookin like an energy pill + pizza and an all-nighter for me. Good timesMAS RipCity said:
Of course they are...RIGHT NOW. But, dude's only 19. He has a bunch of time to become every bit as good as anybody on that short list. Of course it's not a sure thing, but it IS a possibility. With most players, I'd say it's probably not going to happen, but with Travis, I like my chances. He's shown the willingness to work on his game as evidenced by how much he's improved since last year. It's, really, quite amazing. Last year, whenever I saw him on the floor, I thought he was going to trip and hurt himself. He just didn't look like an NBA player. Then, when you think that's he's just 19 and as big as he is, then it's pretty easy to understand that the kid just needs some time to get use to his developed/developing body. All I know is, that if he can improve as much between now and next season, as much as he did from the time that he was drafted up until now...then WOW, we might have a helluva player on our hands. And, you never quite know...he could blow all of those other guys out of the water when all is said and done. Is it likely? Not at all. But there's always a chance.white360 said:
You betcha. You gotta think that they see it. Not that it weighs too heavily upon their evaluations, so long as the player being evaluated can play.zagsfan20 said:
Totally agree. Hopefully, Grg's will stay beyond this season. I'd LOVE to see what he could do with Travis over the course of another couple of years. I wish he would've given Dikembe the :naughty: . My God that's annoying as all hell when he does that. If I were Travis, I would've gotten up in his grill with a finger waggin' of my own.zagsfan20 said:
You, me, and Shareef Abdur-Rahim. :biggrin:zagsfan20 said:
Typically, I don't like to go out on a limb, or paint myself in the corner, so-to-speak, when it comes to evaluating players. But this kid is just showing how good he could become. He's really starting to play with some emotion/fire, and I think we'll continue to see him evolve more and more in that respect.zagsfan20 said:
No doubt, they'd be a solid squad. They already are, and I'd have to think that Outlaw would be somewhat dominating at that level.zagsfan20 said:
