why is dame playing right now? this is reckless

 

[bobf]

Why do you guys think Melo doesn’t stick to just being a catch and shoot guy ?

Inflated ego

 

[DDolla]

We lose this game because of us not making FTs

 

[James lamphear]

We have miss 7 miss free throws that's what's hurting us right now.

 

[julius]

"Hey Rip City, ready to meet your new starting 5? I mean, the 2nd starting 5? Well, 3rd? Ok, Rip City, are you ready to meet 5 new starters because they're down 5 players? Stay tuned!"

 

[AldoTrapani]

Damn the NBA is tough. CJ Elleby is an after thought already

 

[AldoTrapani]

His decision. If u refuse his demands he might get mad and ask for a trade

 

[James lamphear]

I thought Simons did very good out there at point and more he plays more confidence he will get.

 

[bobf]

Dame with the CJ impression

 

[julius]

that was a bad end to the half.

 

[James lamphear]

We didn't close the quarter out well. Couple 3 point shots hurt.

 

[illmatic99]

can we please rest dame now? a win here is not worth making his injury worse

 

[Darkwebs]

Crappy way to end the half. Knicks hitting a couple threes, Blazers bricking several shots

 

[Serbian]

Terrible defense. Wtf this team is so bad on D is laughable

 

[MickZagger]

Welp. Shit end to the half. Our last 4 shots were contested 3’s. Figures.

 

[Chris Craig]

Just down 6. We got this!

I doubt Lillard is a fickle prick like that.

 

[royo]

This looks like preseason game now. This Lillard playing on one leg stuff is f crazy. Funny thing he is still best player on the court. In offence. But whats the point?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Maybe give a few of Hood's minutes to Elleby in the second half?

 

[Mr. Robot]

Early morning is right! 4:30AM Sunday for me. Not watching this one live.

thats every game for me

except games like this, it started 7:00 pm

 

[twobullz]

Trent only took one shot in the 2nd quarter and that was a forced three at the end of the quarter. He had it going then they go completely away from him.

 

[MickZagger]

Maybe give a few of Hood's minutes to Elleby in the second half?

I would. I like Hood a lot. But he just hasn’t regained his game quite yet since his injury. I think he will eventually.

Elleby might be a little needed spark.

At least we know he’ll bring it on defense.

Looks like his abdomen. Got hit there again which prompted the painz

 

[James lamphear]

There inside hurting us they have score 28 points in the paint. They only have 6 3 pointers and there shooting 37 percent there. What hurting us at the free throw line and giving up to many makes at the rim by them.

 

[MickZagger]

We hit some of free throws and this game is different.

I don’t understand how NBA players miss FT’s some times. I wasn’t a great basketball player by any stretch. Put me at the FT line and it was nearly automatic.

 

[James lamphear]

I think the balance is there on offense with opportunities on shots. Dame only took 8 shots that half with 16/5 so he on pace for double double.

 

[wizenheimer]

Dame should not be playing

 

[illmatic99]

TAKE DAME OUT.

Does Terry have no say in this?

 

[bobf]

Nice forced throw ahead for the 1 on 3

 

[Darkwebs]

Lol, Gary jumping up and down in the corner, trying to get Kanter’s attention
