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

[KingSpeed]

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

No dude. He takes himself out. He doesn't want take the shots he used to hit.

 

[HailBlazers]

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.

Adversity is good for him in the long run. I'm not worried.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

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

You suggested the coach will fix whatever is wrong. He has to know what's wrong before fixing it.

 

[KingSpeed]

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).

He did win player of the week since with 3 good games despite Westbrook getting 3 triple doubles.

Exactly. That's all I can remember. lol.

They need both at the top of their game to even think about competing in a playoff series. LA can't carry the team w/o Dame & vice versa. But you're right, LA is a beast.

 

[KingSpeed]

Also, Wright shoots like 100 threes before the game and then in game, he shoots off the side of the backboard? Really?

 

[EGame]

strenuus you're a mod now? congrats lol. Didn't know someone as irrelevant as you made it (I hope you remember where this came from haha).

 

[riverman]

I disagree, he wants to take the shots he isn't making. When the 3 went cold he took it to the rack. When that didn't work he went back to the deep ball. He's in a slump. In his best outings he's never been a big first half scorer. I hope he comes out and scores 25
in the second half.

Wright has played very well

 

[Kaydow]

Because he's not making them. 27% of 3s since Jan 11th.

 

[KingSpeed]

Fuck. Where is Aldridge???

I give Stotts a lot more credit than you do then

 

[Sinobas]

Portland is royally fucked without LA, because he's the only one playing with a damn right now.

 

[Darkwebs]

Surprised Dame got FTs there. I just don't get the continuation rule. It seems like each ref has his own version

 

[Strenuus]

hahahahahaha

 

[Sinobas]

Damian....what a nightmare.

 

[Strenuus]

did Mike just say Batum is out too?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

did Mike just say Batum is out too?

Yes, Batum out. Back pain.

 

[Sinobas]

Ok, game off. goodnight

 

[KingSpeed]

Damn, I want to leave. Never felt this way before.

 

[EGame]

even with a fully healthy lineup were outmatched.

 

[Darkwebs]

That looks like last night, getting outhustled on the board

 

[KingSpeed]

did Mike just say Batum is out too?

Yes

 

[Darkwebs]

Sweet behind the back dish by Wright!!!

 

[Strenuus]

Beibs sucks at rebounding. the hell is this ole' crap?

 

[EGame]

That looks like last night, getting outhustled on the board

at least it is to a team that is known for this. Orlando not so much and we played like shit.

 

[Darkwebs]

No LMA, no Nic, Memphis hitting all sorts of shots. Maybe Stotts should think about resting Dame

 

[KingSpeed]

Grizzlies crowd pissing me off. This is awful.

 

[EGame]

if we trade lillard, batum, afflalo and rolo could we get something nice in return to help aldridge?
