Game Thread GAME# 65: BLAZERS @ SUNS - MARCH 12, 2017 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), KGW

[B-Roy]

Some of these possessions make me want to shoot myself.

 

[Strenuus]

PHX announcer: "That was just a bad shot. He deserves a tech for that."

 

[MickZagger]

Nurk is probably like WTF???

I make a nice block to setup a fast break situation and you pull up for a 40ft air ball.

 

[Cippy91]

LYKE OMG DAME IS A GARBAGE CAN LYKE WOW

 

[Mediocre Man]

I think it's Portland, but I love Booker

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Imagine being on a team where the guy who is supposed to be the leader does shit like that. After he throws up that shit, would you really feel like busting your ass on the other end of the floor to make up for his putrid defense?

 

[Scalma]

I'll keep saying. This team is at its best playing through Nurkic. He's got Chriss on him. Chriss can't handle him. Stop settling for jump shots and play inside out.

 

[Cippy91]

irony is most people in here couldn't reach rim from an NBA three point line, shit would look just like Dames just did

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Troy.Ave]

Dame is pathetic.

I don't know why he does that

 

[DUB]

Dame.

We need an airball emoji.

 

[Strenuus]

LYKE OMG DAME IS A GARBAGE CAN LYKE WOW

That was an absolute horrible shot. Even the PHX announcers were saying "WTF"

 

[BonesJones]

One bad shot = Lillards a garbage can.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

we have a massive advantage inside and dame wants to pull up for 35 footers

 

[riverman]

Booker is a pure scorer

 

[Cippy91]

I agree I just think people in here over react to anything bad Dame does and it's crazy to me

 

[Strenuus]

The difference is Dame is paid to make shots. So we know he's capable of it in the right situations.

He's not picking the right situations.

 

[B-Roy]

It won't be one by the end of the night...

 

[LuckyShot]

So how much will we lose in Phoenix this time? Can we keep it under 25 at least?

 

[Strenuus]

He does it multiple times. It can get very frustrating when it makes little sense.

I agree, but the tunchis in here are annoying. I get so tired of people shitting on this dude, treating our stars like dirt

 

[Strenuus]

LOL yes, pick up those ticky-tack fouls. lol.

 

[Cippy91]

CJ pulled up for three and missed a shot, I mean should everybody be going crazy? he just missed a mid range shot too. Should I freak out?

So your claim is that Lillard is a bad leader/not a leader because his shot selection does the opposite of motivate his team. Noted.

 

[DUB]

Dame.

We need an airball emoji.

Just the first half of this one would sort of work.

 

[Strenuus]

Missing within the flow of the offense is one thing.

Taking away a strong effort by Nurk on the board, and going against numbers to take a low % shot (even for dame) is another.

CJ drives me insane a lot, he's not immune. Stop trying to think it's one without the other.

 

[craigehlo]

Never seen V0nleh pass like that. Nice.

 

[LuckyShot]

We must lead the league in defensive 3 seconds calls.

 

[Jade Falcon]

NURK!

 

[BonesJones]

Yeah Nurk!!!
