This is impressive but it's also problematic. The Bulls just aren't that good. So the fact that we're giving up 60+% shooting to this team is a huge problem. I'm hoping at some point in Dame's career we'll have the guys around him that allow us just to beat teams in any type of ball game not one out shoot our opponents. Don't get me wrong, right now we just need to win however we can win but our defense is shitty. The Bulls are shooting 11% better than they usually do.

We’re shooting 61.5% too.

The Bulls will cool down.

If I was a bulls fan I would be mad at the free throw disparity in the first half. I hope the refs don't work on evening that out in the second half. I get that the Blazers are being the most aggressive driving into the lane, but that is till a big difference 16-2

Scott Foster is lead official. That 'imbalance' will definitely even out. Bank on it

16-2! Dang

Yeah, the refs are going to even that out. Not good.

Like I said, I would like to see a team around Dame that can win games in a way other than out shooting them. Our defense sucks, not as bad as the Bulls defense does but it still sucks. People in here that want to hold onto one way players like Ant are driving me nuts. I understand why people are attached to Dame, I am too. Why should we feel attached to anyone else on a team as middling as this one?

We should be ready to trade all of them. I personally think that Jerami is the exact type of player we need and I think Shae has superstar potential but beyond that, I would be happy if every other player on this roster was moved. I don't expect it but it wouldn't hurt my feelings... at all.
 
I just started watching and we scored twice with no answer. You’re welcome!

Scott Fucking Foster
All bets are off.
 
I feel like the main difference in the last 10 games where the Blazers have had the #1 offense is that we've started to play entirely around Dame on offense. Whereas when we were losing we were still trying to get everyone involved at the beginning of games.
 
Now we're cookin'! I like that Ant didn't settle for a 3 there

Well, I want a borderline All-Star forward or a forward who is young shows promised and with room to improve.
 
That was a two
 
Any of these open looks for Hart go in and we blow it open. Instead…

I hope the critics of the Dame/Ant backcourt are seeing the synergy tonight.

Dame's gravity is insane

I'm liking it so much that I am working on trades to get some of the guys I want and still keeping Simons. More to come soon!

quoting myself because the Blazers are getting mugged this half and not getting calls. Dame was clobbered on that drive he turned it over. Hart was clobbered on a drive. And Grant was mugged on a drive. Not whistles

it's so fucking obvious

Maybe Josh is on to something not shooting open shots.

He's got to shoot better. Missing is obviously bad. Allowing defenses to pack the paint hurts everyone else.

He's got to knock them down. Or at least miss one long!
 
I think Billups has been telling Hart to keep shooting threes but I think Hart usually (wisely) does not want to shoot them when he's not feeling it.
 
NO, those are not good shots by Hart.
Why does Lamar insist they are ?
 
Bulls run continues after the Blazers timeout.
 
They are trapping and collapsing their defense on Dame. We have no solutions.

Chauncey ball my ass.
