Game Thread GAME# 68: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - MARCH 21, 2015 - SATURDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[EGame]

this has been fun. glad this team is laying down.

 

[riverman]

No ball movement...gotta make them work on defense

 

[Darkwebs]

Some great moves there by dame to get to the rack and score with the off hand

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Wow. SMH.

 

[BBert]

CJ can straight fill it up! Keep shooting!

Barton 'who'?

 

[riverman]

Halftime, time for the coach to fix this

 

[KingSpeed]

Guys, what happened to Dame?

 

[Darkwebs]

Guess we're lucky to be down only 9, especially if you consider our 3 point shooting vs theirs. If "regression to the mean" happens, we'll be due for an advantage from the 3-point line in the 2nd half and hopefully that'll give us a chance to win the game. But we can't keep throwing the ball away, for goodness' sake.

Im pretty sure the coach is just as confused about all this as you are.

He acts like it.

 

[Strenuus]

I mean...

Nic wth was that on the fast break? That rolo pass?

I've heard of a tale of two halves... that was a tale of two seperate 6 minute stretches in that quarter. That was atrocious.

I'd never thought I'd say this... but there is SOMETHING going on with dame... I never thought I'd have to worry about him...

 

[kingslayer]

Just goes to show you how far ahead their starters are compared to ours. Seeing them just swat at the ball and suffocate you on the defensive end without fouling is a sight to behold.

 

[riverman]

Guys, what happened to Dame?

I think he's rushing his game and his shots. He's not alone. You can't make shots without touching the ball

 

[Darkwebs]

Guys, what happened to Dame?

My best guess is fatigue and his injured fingers. He needs a vacation. It was great that he got All-Star honors, but I wonder if it would've been better if he had that whole All-star week off

 

[EGame]

we have a chance to turn it around but i stand by what i said last game, if these players especially dame and batum, do not perform like they should be, Aldridge will be second guessing whether staying here is good if an early exit happens. :/

 

[riverman]

He's finally hitting the rookie wall..only took 2.5 years.

 

[KingSpeed]

Conley 6/6. Udrih was 7/7 last time we were here.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Really starting to worry about Dame. It's been a very up and down season for him, much more of a roller coaster than last year.

 

[Darkwebs]

He's finally hitting the rookie wall..only took 2.5 years.

Guess he's a late bloomer.....or a late wilter.

 

[Kaydow]

Guys, what happened to Dame?

He looks down on himself. It's not getting better.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Lillard and Batum are -19. Alridge -20 (no blame for LA, he's the reason this game isn't a route).

 

[Strenuus]

Really starting to worry about Dame. It's been a very up and down season for him, much more of a roller coaster than last year.

Sounds like it's starting to be a consensus among everyone now... something that hasn't happened yet.

 

[Darkwebs]

Conley 6/6. Udrih was 7/7 last time we were here.

I half expected Udrih to light us up off the bench, but he's been relatively quiet so far.

 

[riverman]

Teams have figured out how to take Dame out of games. This proves that no matter what folks thought, this is LA's team

 

[KingSpeed]

I think he's rushing his game and his shots. He's not alone. You can't make shots without touching the ball

Ummm he has the ball a lot. He's not looking to shoot like he used to.

 

[Strenuus]

I half expected Udrih to light us up off the bench, but he's been relatively quiet so far.

He's been the reason we got back into this game. Udrih is no MVP.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

My best guess is fatigue and his injured fingers. He needs a vacation. It was great that he got All-Star honors, but I wonder if it would've been better if he had that whole All-star week off

He does look tapped but he wasnt the only all star averaging 30 plus minutes and participate in the all star game.

I agree something just isn't right. Could be what JLPRK suggests....Not sold on that. Only Dame knows.

 

[BBert]

Guys, what happened to Dame?

Good question.

1. Ever since the shoes....?
2. Ever since Wade laid him out....?
3. Ever since he shot his mouth off about not being an all star....?
4. And what about his fingers?

??

 

[EGame]

Good question.

1. Ever since the shoes....?
2. Ever since Wade laid him out....?
3. Ever since he shot his mouth off about not being an all star....?

??

or ever since the year 2015 happened, since he stared being bad starting at January.

 

[Strenuus]

Good question.

1. Ever since the shoes....?
2. Ever since Wade laid him out....?
3. Ever since he shot his mouth off about not being an all star....?

I'll take #2, but it's oddly coincidental that since his shoes came out he has only had maybe 2-3 good games (maybe more, but not many more).

uh...I'm not confused, just weathering the storm
