You guys. It’s easy to blame this player and that player. I don’t blame dame on that last play. He had six seconds to take it cross court, at half court he kinda stumbled, in his head at that point, he didn’t have much time. Had to put it up. CJ shot terribly. I also don’t understand why Collins wasn’t in but hey whatever I guess. Biggest issue was defense, switches. Leaving Beal open to tie should of never happened. Shit I would leave wall at that point and give him an open three other than wall. They got a lot of open looks. Blazers shot like shit this game, it’s amazing we were even in it all game. It is what it is. 3rd game of an 82 game season. Chill. Just take joy in the fact the lakers are about to lose to the spurs and start off 0 and 3. If we shot even a little better, that game is ours. Bench is way better than last season. CJ was off. Dame was even off despite being able to do other things and get to the line. Anyways, chiiiillllll

You know... Lillard is the leader of the team. he wants the ball. I can't argue the decision but he did have options.

I thought you were talking all game but your talking about the end of the game. I posted I didn't like the shot, nurk was wide open rolling to the rim behind him and he was having to put it up over 3 people.

Yup. Good call. He pulled through for them and played great. Man, I just don't see how Stotts can be so blind to the obvious things, that all of us see here. Pretty sad....

Just IMHO, but I feel Collins would have....

Ate. His. Lunch.

Collins is MADE for defending small ball lineups and would’ve offered the same mismatches on the other end that Nurk did. Stupid coaching tonight.

We were all screaming it. "Moe for nurk? WHAT?" It made zero sense.

Btw, good to see you back man, if even for just a game thread. :cheers:
 
The positive Aminu Nurk Nik had big game. We will continue to be up down all year. Reasons Dame and CJ going get there shots up know matter what hot or cold. Dame is not as bad as CJ due to he find others ways to score. Stotts doesn't coach well in close game never have never will.
 
On the bright side, Wiz played a lot better than we did overall and we were still in it to the end.
 
20 turnovers, at least 2 crucial mental mistakes that could have won the game, horrific 3pt shooting, several and 1 not called, several bank shots did fall for them.......1 point loss. We are better than last year.

I think i watched Nurk signal to Dame to cover Morris on the switch for that last three he made? Dame left the man on the switch. bad mistake.

No it's not. Just go under the screen since it's Wall. Nurk was being fucking lazy.

Kind of was talking about the whole game but in the end he wants the ball. So yeah i agree.

I can't Blame Dame either. If he slides in and gets the basket it's game over with a win.

And yet, he's done this countless times, and all the other team has to do is pack the paint with 3 or 4 guys. You're not making a basket against that.

STOTTS should know this by now......but no, it keeps happening. Watch it happen again sometime this season against another team. Or two. Or three.

Stotts and CJ both need to fucking GO. But with Paul Allen gone, I'm not sure that's going to happen any time soon.
 
5 on 8 is hard

Not even gonna blame Dame. Yeah maybe he should’ve passed but he carried the team in the fourth. Where’s our other supposed star? With all the attention he gets, this would’ve been a game to get his teammates involved, not jack up 300 shots. Fucking hate that guys game and it hasn’t evolved since he’s been starting.

Stop Lillard shoots like 41% for his career overall and has similar games like that.

Cj and Dame are just those type of players
 
Nurkic feasts on rebounding missed shots, but screws up many scores under the hoop by bringing the ball down low. He has returned to that habit. He would have had 10 more points if he would catch the ball and keep it high.

Turner was our best player in the 1st half but Stotts hardly used him in the 2nd.

McCollum not only missed all his shots; he made errors in passing and dribbling. Passing: both not passing when he should, and messing up when he did pass.

Lillard sure misses a lot of wide open easy 3-pointers.

Morris kept making 3s from the left side since no one guarded him all game long. In between those, he drove and made layups, since no one guarded him all game long.
