Game Thread GAME# 58: BLAZERS @ KINGS - MARCH 1, 2015 - SUNDAY, 3:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[BBert]

AA with 3 points in 27 minutes?

I guess I lost the poll.

And Dame is back it appears!

 

[BBert]

Oh and 4 turnovers. Ouch.

Blake 5 turnovers in 12 minutes? Is that a typo?

The end of that 2nd quarter (or was it 3rd?) He was a turnover machine. lol.

He had solid D, though. Real, real good.

Well done.

I missed the game but Batum with ...2 pts?

Fez is shocked.

Über shocked.

He actually had a decent game. He picked up 3 fouls in the first half, really took him out of rhythm.

He helped us win. Unlike the game where he had 20+ vs Phoenix and missed the game tying freethrow at the end.

UGH! He's so Lebron sometimes, isn't he?

*flips hair, watches ESPN.*

Dre stole Blake's lunch and then ate it. Holy shit, Steve absolutely got dominated. It's nights like this when I wish Terry was more flexible and let CJ get some run.

Dre always does that to Blake, haha.

Probably still holds a grudge

That's because Dre doesn't have to defend Blake like he would Dame. And Blake's experience is nothing like the experience of Dre. Dre is arguably the craftiest player in the league. He knows every move in the book and how to draw fouls to boot. The problem with Dre is how he is a defensive liability; which was why Sac had to bring in another smaller guard to chase Dame around.

So when you talk about how Dre took Blake's lunch, Lillard took Dre's and whomever else they tried to throw at him lunch money and shat it all out on the Queen fans

Rightfully so.

Chillax, Nate McMillan. Yes we all know Dame owned everybody. Wasn't really my point.

Dre obviously has his defensive deficiencies, but he was dominant overall last night. I can never get tired of his midrange game and his halfcourt lob passes on the dime. I would absolutely love to have him running our bench unit, especially now with Afflalo on the wings.

Also, I'm getting increasingly tired of Blake's Bad Mo impression with all the dribbling and going nowhere. He's become pretty turnover prone, and is not exactly as steadying an influence as he's hyped up to be. Same with his mediocre defense-- why does he have the reputation when he repeatedly gets torched by his counterparts?

All that said, I want CJ getting his minutes. Ya he might suck as a PG, but he brings more to the table than Blake. On both ends.
