Game Thread GAME# 5: CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 26, 2017 - THURSDAY, 7:00 (PDT), NBCSNW (1 Viewer)

I'm not sure what game everyone was watching, but I saw guys sneaking towards Griffin a number of times. Unfortunately, that led to a lot of open shots for the Clippers. I know I'm in the minority, but I think doubling Griffin regularly would have been a terrible move. He's an excellent and willing passer.

One thing that concerns me is that both CJ and Patty have looked horrendous on defense. Lou Williams and Austin Rivers combined for 10-20 for 29 points while Cj and Patty went 9-24 for 26. Yuck! That combined with the bench going 4-20 made this a tough game to win, but Griffin had to hit a last second three. Dame was incredible this game. 7-19 for 25 is decent in itself, but adding 6 assists to 1 turnover plus top tier defense? I'm really not sure how he's being blamed for any of this... His improvement on the defensive end so far this year has been nothing short of miraculous.

Tough loss, but lots to be optimistic about!

Dude...what?
Two players! CJ and Pat shooting 9-24 for 26 points (=37.5%) is "Yuck".
Yet Dame shooting 7-19 for 25 (=36.8%) is "decent in itself" ?? Dame "was incredible this game" ?

Lillard had a mediocre game at best, he's almost never "incredible" against the Clippers.

Well the raptors struggle against the Lakers last night and it there last game on there 4 game road trip. They might be tired going in that game. I believe also there big man is out right now. Utah will be struggle for us because we usually don't play well in Utah.

He grabbed 18 rebounds against them once. He also won a playoff series against them.

Raptors looked amazing against the Warriors. This Siakam guy is one to watch.

Oh yeah? why don't you look at the rest of his stats in the 18 rebounds game.

Won a playoff series against them? that's naive to say.
