Man I wish Aminu was shy with the ball like Vonleh sometimes

 

[Tunchi]

Lillard 3-12 tonight.. Another inefficient night

Hardenesque

 

[Tunchi]

Cj!!!!

 

[Tunchi]

I'm telling you guys by next year Cj will be better than Lillard


Book it

 

[DUB]

What a joke. Now Dame knows he needs to throw his head back like that every time he gets hit.

I actually was thinking that earlier. Wonder what they're going to do when your bench SG plays better than your starting PG?

 

[Tunchi]

Haha fucking Lillard

 

[jlprk]

The Magic are the best we could possibly be with our current personnel. I see a lot of similarities between their team and ours. But they're better at the same thing.

Honestly that's a great question. I really don't know but slowly and slowly Cj is starting to be better than Lillard. Which is crazy to think about but I really believe Cj to be the real deal..

Imagine him with his first summer after this breakout out season, he should come back better..


Cj better than Lillard? It's happening

 

[Tunchi]

Fucking Lillard man

 

[Tunchi]

Orlando has a very bright future. One of the best young teams in the NBA right now

Lets pump the brakes for just a second. Lets see how he plays when teams have a full season to plan for and set their defenses to take away CJ's strengths like they have done with Lillard after a couple of seasons before we start anointing CJ as the chosen one. Okay?

 

[riverman]

Well this one sucked, I had hoped to walk away with a blow out tonight..Vucevic is a beast

 

[Trackjack]

Well got out play out coach and Stotts defense concepts sucks.

He needs to keep his attitude in check. This is like the 3rd game this season where he's either had technicals or fragrants. That's not acceptable. I appreciate his aggressiveness, but not his attitude. He needs to separate poor action from aggressive attitude.

Someone said it best above: I didn't see the entire game, but Orlando, from what I did see, played as well as we COULD play if we were coached better.

Stotts needs a sit-down with Olshey, or he needs to go.

I'm down in Bandon doing surveillance on Marzul and I could tell that game sucked even from way down here.

has he moved yet?

They are so similar that they wouldn't even notice if we swapped Meyers with Vucevic I'll bet

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

He's waitin for calm waters.

 

[riverman]

He's waitin for calm waters.

I meant, batted an eyelid, twitched, shown signs of life

I see the occasional movement of a hand reaching for a scotch bottle.

Not surprising, we're in the dog days of the season and they're almost ten games below .500. Not much to talk about besides draft positioning.

I offered at least a post about stealing Vucevic...no takers

 

[Denny Crane]

The forum is slow this time of year. It's actually a bit more active than a year ago.

And @magnifier661 's drugs must have either kicked in or worn off.

 

[riverman]

I figured these nerds were standing in mile long lines to see Star Wars

I think it is "get used to it" time as reality sets in, I like these guys but it is and was expected to be this kind of season

"part" of the reason CJ is doing as well as he is, IS because of Lillard

@MarAzul did you see this? I've met Homer, you should be worried. Move you're family to the bunker! If you don't have a bunker you should start digging.

Yeah exactly. To say that mcollum will be better than lillard next year is quite the statement. Cj can create for himself but lillard sets cj up for those threes. Cj doesn't get played like lillard. Lillard gets jumped on defense because teams know this year, he's to focus on. Yeah dame isn't shooting great this year but he's had to take leadership of this team with a bunch of guys who never really got minutes in their careers.
