Game Thread GAME# 6: BLAZERS @ PACERS - OCTOBER 29, 2018 - MONDAY, 4:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

Shit. How many points does Dame have?

 

[James lamphear]

Ball movement ceases to exist with both Dame and CJ on the floor. Whichever has the ball primarily looks to score off the dribble and everyone else stands on the perimeter or sets a ball screen.

Your right and that won't change neither.

 

[julius]

I say just put in Anfernee Simons and let him just dunk once.

 

[Rozay]

Dame is being used off the ball, but I don't really think that's his game (not that he can't do it), also I think the ball movement is still better than last years. Everything else I agree.

Dame literally advocates for himself to play off the ball more

 

[julius]

Is Dame wearing PDX carpet shoes?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Dame literally advocates for himself to play off the ball more

Then when he's not on the ball he needs to make better cuts and move better. He can advocate for it all he wants but he doesn't work hard to get in good position to get passes quite frequently when he's off the ball.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

How is that not a moving screen on turner he walked right into Dame TWICE!

 

[TBpup]

Is it too early to start a draft thread and hope for the lottery?

Absolutely not! Let's stay in that 40-win range with who we have....hater!

 

[BonesJones]

SIGH

 

[julius]

The team is playing like they're already eliminated from the playoffs, where Indiana is playing like they want to make the playoffs.

 

[Rozay]

Wow Cj with the beyond trash defense

 

[TBpup]

Aminu floaters is not what I want to see from a Blazer offensive set. Just sayin....

 

[BonesJones]

Defense? Please?

 

[BlazerBeav]

He was ALWAYS a mediocre coach, his entire career. Did we REALLY hate McMillan so much that we wanted to put up with this shit for 5 years?

Answer: Hell yes. As maddening as we are under Stotts at times, it's much mroe entertaining basketball than what we played under Nate (who had his own maddening faults).

 

[Labinot41]

Finaly dame

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Dames heating up.

 

[TBpup]

Defense? Please?

Your request has been measured, it has been weighed, and it has been found wanting.

 

[BonesJones]

Let's get it rollin Dame!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Dame sighting. Phew.

 

[BonesJones]

Aminu is trash. I'm about done with him.

 

[Labinot41]

I can't belive how many stupid mistake we make

 

[julius]

I really can't wait for Aminu to go away.

 

[Titan]

Good news the Pacers are not capitalizing on us

 

[Labinot41]

We are back to 16/17 Defense

 

[ripcityboy]

5 Fast Break Points
7 Assists

Explains everything.

Everything is set up to get up to get Dame and CJ, 50+ per cent of the shots. No matter how effective the other guys are. If we are doing that every game and IT'S STILL NOT enough, why doesn't he try them in different roles to free up offense. It's not thar we can't compete it's just we are always playing catch up against teams we should be beating.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

@BonesJones does Skal for Aminu work?

 

[TBpup]

I really can't wait for Aminu to go away.

Will his contract expire and we won't get anything for him? As is typical of Olshey's reign.

 

[BonesJones]

Continuation?

 

[Titan]

Continuation?

 

[BonesJones]

@BonesJones does Skal for Aminu work?

They have $11M in space, so yes.
