With seven points already tonight, Al-Farouq Aminu has set a new career high for scoring in a season with 573 points (572, 2013-14).

For some reason, when I watch Meyers play, I get the feeling that he is always sort of unsure what he's doing out there. I don't know why I get that vibe. Anyone else feel the same way?

I love watching CJ play.

Oh trust me, it's not just you.

Ever since the first time I saw him play. I think he's only really unsure maybe 25% of the time now though as opposed to 85% of the time just a couple years ago. He's improved enough to be useful in spurts.

I don't think he has any basketball instincts, so he's constantly thinking about what he should be doing. Leads to a ton of dumbass mistakes.

Nice dime by Dame

 

[Sinobas]

Wait a minute, Brook Lopez is still on the Nets?!??!?!?!?!

 

[LuckyShot]

It annoys me that Henderson constantly takes the worst shot in basketball on purpose and doesn't seem to shoot it any better than the 3.

 

[Chris Craig]

The nets theme song should be living on a prayer

 

[Strenuus]

Damn, Meyers doin work on the boards. Gotta give it to em.

I tuned in to nba coast to coast. They were talking about how surprisingly bad the rockets are, then they contrasted with how surprisingly good the blazers are. The credited stotts as a great coach and lillard as a great leader. Then they mentioned cj for most improved and that they are probably the 2nd best back court in the league right now. Then someone said a GM recently said they think CJ is actually better than lillard. So no doubt CJs value is high right now. I still dont think id trade him. Dude can ball.

With his first two points tonight, Damian Lillard has tied Zach Randolph for 14th place on Portland's all-time scoring list (6,202).

 

[kingslayer]

Wow Lillard!!!!

 

[Sinobas]

Lillard with another highlight!!

 

[LuckyShot]

LOL Dame you crafty bastard.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Dame lolz

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Lillard is so good at that Jamal Crawford lean in

 

[Strenuus]

Dame lolillard.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Ball don't lie

 

[LuckyShot]

Looked like a hack, but ball don't lie.

I think he forces those up too much. He's the kind of guy that should play scrappy defense, shoot his open shots and take it to the rim when he has a lane.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard's first 3-pointer tonight ties him with Nicolas Batum for third on Portland's all-time list with 751 3-pointers.

Nic will never surrender that stat.

*Insert tasteless French joke here.

 

[ripcityboy]

I've never seen a Blazer team go from unknown quality to playoff bound so quickly. It's like they all got better as players on the same day or something. Truly inspired stuff.

Stotts gives all his players some leeway with bad shots. It's why guys love playing for him.

I'm sure this has been brought up before so excuse my lack of board awareness, but Henderson really, really, really tries to emulate Kobe, right?
