Game Thread GAME# 6: SUNS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 28, 2017 - SATURDAY, 7:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

Clutch basket by Dame.

 

[Strenuus]

So, Dame made that shot @GrandJury

That must hurt.

 

[KingSpeed]

Isn't there a case of a player who missed a clutch FT in a playoff series and that totally wrecked his confidence? Like, Nick Anderson or something?

Yes Nick but that cost his team a title and he missed 4 straight. Not the same situation here.

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame's bad game has netted 23 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds, 1 steal, and just 2 turnovers tonight. I mean, I know he's not shooting well, but I'll take that out of my starting PG.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I love how we double Booker but didn't double Blake lol

Oh well, Mr. Clutch Shot comes in to save our asses.

 

[DUB]

Clutch by Dame!

Effecting the game positively in other ways

 

[julius]

Yep. Ruined his career.

I never actually knew it, but Nick Anderson wasn't actually that good from the free throw line. Career 66%.

Still boggles the mind how a guy who was a decent 3 point shooter, was poor from the FT line.

It barely seems like he's gotten out of second gear.

This team needs to play up to their level instead of the opponents level. Great teams know how to dispose of teams like the Suns.

Maybe Stotts is learning. I feel like he started showing glimpses of this in the past though and he always reverts to his stubborn "lets have everyone stand around and watch the ball get scored on us" defense.

 

[KingSpeed]

Another great game for our starters and this time bench showed up too. We're just too tough to beat. Takes miracles to have a chance to beat us.

 

[Strenuus]

Where'd GrandJury go? No posts talking about Dame's shot.

Yeah, thats why I said "Isn't there a case of a player who missed a clutch FT in a playoff series and that totally wrecked his confidence? Like, Nick Anderson or something?"

 

[EGame]

well it wasnt pretty. At all in fact. but a W is a W assuming this is a W

 

[LuckyShot]

Nurk had several big rebounds down the stretch as well.

 

[Sinobas]

I like how they just gave up a wide open 3 there, knowing the suns would be shooting a 3

Blake had Lou Williams to pass to. Booker doesn't.

I didn't know that either, weird isn't it? It doesn't make sense.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Dame hits his FTs when they really matter

Did you like Dame's clutch floater and FTs?

 

[SIeepwalker]

Yay we won !

 

[Sinobas]

This team needs to play up to their level instead of the opponents level. Great teams know how to dispose of teams like the Suns.

And how do you know that we're not on the Suns level?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Toronto is going to fucking kill us.

 

[DUB]

Nurkic has made some big plays in the 4th.

 

[KingSpeed]

Booker chokes

 

[Strenuus]

lololol. Theres one glaring omission in this forum since Dame hit the clutch bucket and the FT's. LOLOL. I'll always remember that when he comes back.

 

[KingSpeed]

Not in our house!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I didn't know that either, weird isn't it? It doesn't make sense.

Some people are just rhythm shooters, they can make shots in the flow of a game but when all eyes are on them and they have to hit that shot that doesn't involve you having any lift, they fail.

 

[AFully22]

The offense needs a LOT of work.
