Dame looks like he needs a rest

[Natebishop3]

It looks like his back is really bothering him. He looks stiff and his shot looks off. He needs to take it easy and let his back heal.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

We'll see, but he's got his pride... I don't know if he'll ever "take it easy".

 

[PDXFonz]

He looked like he had one of the best on ball defenders on him.

 

[BrianFromWA]

16 on 10 shots. 5ast/5reb

Play Batum at the one and start Wilson Chandler tomorrow night.

I don't think it happens that soon. But I really do think Crabbe and Claver are on the way out with O'Neal and Chandler on the way in.

Crabbe & Claver aren't enough salary to be able to trade for Chandler.

If there is a deal then it is TRob and Claver or TRob and Crabbe.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

TRob and CJ are... jus' sayin'...

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame is fine. The fact that he never misses games is part of what is great about him. If he does have a serious injury, though, we better be looking for a back up PG too. Lopsided trade for Chandler. Sign Wolters and O'Neal.

 

[RipCity71252]

I wouldn't be opposed to Dame sitting out tomorrow night vs the lowly Lakers, but that's if his back really is hurting him. If it isn't, I'm sure he'll play.

He'll play to say he played but I bet he plays less than 20 minutes. Kobe's playing so it'll be a cakewalk.

You ever actually won one of those? I swear the music used to always stop when I was one square ahead or behind the winner square!

 

[Sinobas]

I didn't think he looked injured, but I did think Portland should have picked up a 3rd string PG going into this season. If Blake or Lillard get hurt, who is going to play PG? CJ?

One, once in Cub Scouts (we'd bake the cakes for the school cakewalk. I won, and brought my own cake back because I worked so hard on it)

 

[Sinobas]

I hope we can keep Crabbe and trade CJ

Will Barton?

Would anyone be interested in Eric Maynor again as a 3rd string point guard?

A look at HoopsHype’s list of the top free-agent point guards right now isn’t too inspiring. There are a couple you could talk yourself into, such as Eric Maynor, who had some success with Utah and Oklahoma City a few years back

Depending on who we cut sure.

Yeah if it were a 3 for 1 trade it would be easy but losing that many players in a close group and bringing in 3 new players is a pretty big risk. I'm not sure I'm advocating it but I was just thinking that in terms of a 3rd string PG I was happy with Maynor's time here.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

i dont like the idea of trading crabbe, dude has made a lot of strides to be a good help defender and is accurate from 3. as much as i love them barton claver and trob are the tradeables.

 

[riverman]

I think Dame needs to wrap himself up like Iverson used to..he doesn't need a break, he needs bandages and he's already flirting with the headband

I thought about that too earlier.. I think he's playing in China now. Maynor is a solid backup pt guard

Enter Ronnie Price.

He just needs to stay away from the barber this summer and get some cornrows.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

And the bar. And the aquarium. He drinks like a fish - should stay away from both.

 

[Sinobas]

I liked Maynor too, he played well with Damian. I didn't understand why he got so little interest around the league. I'd sign him and cut Claver. Claver wants out anyway, and he's not getting playing time even with two big men out.

 

[Haakzilla]

...yeah, he looked real tired out there in the 4th quarter against the Lakers -- especially his final dunk of the game

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Lol ya he looked real tired in the 4th quarter
