Still no Dame? Sigh

Dude, we ended a nasty losing streak, and won 2 of our last 3 without him.

I love Dame, he's my favorite NBA player. But whatever we have right now is working. What we had going before that wasn't.

I miss seeing my favorite player. Don't need your lecture.

It had nothing to do with Dame. It was the strategy on defense of doubling the opposing teams big

I agree and disagree. I agree that doubling the Bigs was a part of it. But without Dame, we've slowed down and become more methodical in our game, which was sorely needed.

Having both Dame and CJ out there at the same time wasn't working.

Guess we will have to see tomorrow when they are both out there

Agreed.

 

[Cippy91]

I see what they did here

 

[Cippy91]

By the way how good is Giannis gonna be? that dude is something else

 

[Cippy91]

Damn chauncey billups no mercy. Says we are gonna get smacked by a bunch

 

[Cippy91]

WELP here we go, this will either be competitive or ugly

 

[DUB]

LET'S GO TRAIL BLAZERS!!!

 

[VenomXL]

Wow Mase.

 

[LuckyShot]

Plumlee showed up ready to play some ball.

WELP here we go, this will either be competitive or ugly

hopefully competitive.

 

[Jade Falcon]

In Mason We Trust.

 

[DUB]

Nice reverse dunk Plums!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[blue9]

Aminu is awful!

 

[julius]

If Aminu doesn't touch the ball on offense, it'll be nice.

 

[julius]

There's just not enough players who can create for themselves who play for the Trail Blazers.

 

[blue9]

If Aminu doesn't touch the ball on offense, it'll be nice.

We should just leave him on the defensive side of the court and not even have him cross the half-court line.

 

[Cippy91]

Trying to trap curry I see, interesting. Except for the fact they got 3 other players waiting to bang down threes and one of them is open

 

[DUB]

This would be a great night for Crabbe to catch fire.

 

[PDXFonz]

I find the Warriors PA to be fairly obnoxious.

 

[riverman]

Bad enough Dame's out but Scott Foster is the ref....that's not a good thing

 

[Cippy91]

Aminu either is waiting for a spot up three or he pump fakes and drives to do nothing. It's great

 

[Jade Falcon]

I find the Warriors PA to be fairly obnoxious.

Add their crowd to that list. Every time one of their players throws the ball up they all yell obnoxiously.

At least our crowd waits until the ball goes through to cheer.

He pump fakes when the defender is sagging off and begging him to shoot. lol.

 

[VenomXL]

They're hanging in there.

 

[Darkwebs]

Klay can't guard CJ.
