Dame's 3pt shot is in the toilet right now. 36.4%?

Dude needs to curb those pullup 35 footers until he's hot. I'm happy his FG% is still above 45% tho.
 
Missed the game. What went down between Dame and Westbrook?
Westbrook is to Dame as Dame is to Chris Paul

Much ado about nothing. Russ trying to be a dick while Dame doesn't get bothered and plays a heady/controlled game. Westbrook's shenanigans look so immature when he's on the same court with Dame.
 
You're being ridiculous. He played spot minutes in a couple games. That's not enough to build a rythym at all, especially for a rookie.
27.6% is bad no matter what. It's worse if you don't include his first game
 
Followed very closely by Harkless, IMO. For the combined total of the following reasons:
1 - He's very* good.
2 - There aren't very* many good (let alone, very* good) SFs in the league.
3 - His contract is very* friendly.

Add that all up, and trading him would likely be a step backwards. I'd trade CJ before Harkless, and I'm not on the "trade CJ" bandwagon (yet).
*"Very" is a very strange looking word when you start using it a lot.
CJ is a top 5 SG and they're aren't a lot of good SGs in this league.

He was a solid 47% FG and 35% 3P over the course of November, but he's O-for-December in 2 games played. Perhaps he's starting to feel the strain of NBA travel.

Give him time.
 
Crapateedle!

I must be very tired. I went out like a light on the couch around 8 PM, woke up 11:30, game over, all the lights on, two kittens on top of me. Put away knitting, put kittens to bed, plugged in phone, hit the sack. Game over. Maybe NBA TV will replay it.

Well, if it's any consolation, the game was pretty much over by the end of the first quarter. That was good for my blood pressure after the Clippers game.

I swear it's been like this since he fell on his thumb about a month ago. You didn't hear much about it after the game, but his scoring and outside shooting dipped after that game.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's bothering him and he's just toughing it out.
 
While I certainly appreciate the fact that in spite of the officiating we still kicked their ass comfortably, the jackasses in stripes were particularly worthless tonight. Refusing two call the 2-3 obvious delay of games against Russell, somehow letting the Thunder go the whole 3rd quarter without being whistled for a foul, not realizing Kantner forgets about that whole dribbling thing, etc. So bad.
Westbrook interfered with inbounding the ball three times. First one he grabbed the ball; on another he kicked the ball across the court while Dame was trying to pick it up; on another he fouled the inbounder while both were out of bounds. No call by the bitches in stripes on any of them. Then there was the time he was pissed off at the call, so he grabbed the ball at half court and threw it clear over the end line out of bounds. He didn't get called for that either. Honest to fucking god I've never seen more spineless refs in my life.
 
Btw Westbrook is so overrated. Always has been. Most the plays he makes is on talent alone. I know he has to put up crazy shots this season because he's by himself, but his shot selection has always been stupid. Lillard usually always outplays him when they matchup and he does it without shooting air guns after every made three and screaming and 1 after every drive to the basket.
Posts like this really baffle me. How can anybody who has ANY thread of common sense of the game of basketball claim that Westbrook is overrated. PLEASE! Thats just pure stupidity coming out right there. Same as these clowns that don't recognize Harden's greatness or Kobe. Preface your statement by saying you hate the way he talks shit or always wants to fight somebody or gets away with shit out there, but to fucking claim his basketball talents are overrated is straight trash. Wine about Harden's flopping, but don't question his court vision. Claim you are a Blazer homer and if you aren't in the scarlet and black the other players are trash........but to say one of the most gifted and amazing players in the game right now is overrated is ridiculous. Couldn't say if I've ever read anything you posted has stuck with me in the past, but I hope future ones are more thought out than this.
 
@HCP How mad is this schedule for you guys? Have you ever seen anything like it? How the hell do you even pack for this madness?

Crazy huh bro? Got home Monday night at 2:30AM....was at work at 1 yesterday and we leave in about 4 hours to Denver. Ya this stretch is a tuff one bro. Last night wife did some laundry for me. Just got the little HCPs to school and heading home to pack.
My job sometimes is bananas, but I love it. I get paid to watch sports. Was just texting with the wife and reminded her that between the end of last season and the beginning of this one I had 105 days off at home. Thats more than 3 months off, most of my amigos only get 2-3 WEEKS off a year. It can be tough being away from family for sure though, especially this time of year.

Take your own advice.

I put you on blast and gave you a chance to redeem yourself with facts or stats and you come back with an "I know you are but what am I response" Lame as fuck bro! Keep bringing the heat kid.
 
You seem upset.
Only by your lack of knowledge of the game this forum is based upon. At Starbucks and just shared your post..... people from all walks of life are laughing at you as I type. But you're probably used to this.
 
you know you can take those last 5 posts or so and just make 1 post right?
Took some time off last spring/summer.....trying to get that count back up. Plus I can't post in game threads where people post 2 words posts on the daily. #KeepingUpWithTheNerds
